To analyze the prices of completed Purchases, we recommend reviewing the published procurement reports: Data on orders completed through the CPO LT catalog.
In the reports, you can see data on completed Purchases: suppliers, dates, prices, etc.
Once you start filling in the Purchase data and log out of the CPO LT electronic catalog, you can return and continue filling in the Purchase at any other time. Previously entered information will be retained.
When a Purchase does not occur because no offers were submitted, we recommend consulting with a CPO LT consultant, indicated in the procurement module, about possible reasons for the failure. If it is decided to clarify/supplement the purchase, then it is re-announced. If your needs differ from those in the CPO LT electronic catalog module, share your needs with a CPO LT consultant, and we will assess the possibilities of supplementing the procurement module.
The Client's response is provided using the CPO LT electronic catalog tools. The Client is responsible for the accuracy and relevance of the provided information.
Fixed Rate Contract, which stipulates the Client's obligation to purchase goods for a specified value: The Client undertakes to purchase Goods for no less than (from xx to 100) percent of the initial value specified in the Main contract appendix during the validity period of the Main contract.
Fixed Rate Main Contract, which stipulates the Client's obligation to purchase a specified quantity of goods: The Client undertakes to purchase no less than (from xx to 100) percent of each unit of Goods specified in the Main contract appendix during the validity period of the Main contract. For example, if PO chooses value redemption, during the contract execution, PO will "redeem" and control the amount of funds (you will have more flexibility to change the quantities of goods among themselves, e.g., in the contract 5 pencils, 4 rulers – you can buy 2 pencils and 6 rulers according to the rates, ensuring not to exceed the contract value), and in the case of quantity redemption – PO will control and "redeem" units – if PO planned for 5 pencils, then you will have to purchase them.
In CPO LT catalogs, when forming an order, some modules allow PO to see a predicted budget range (e.g., 100-150 euros). This prediction is based on the maximum supplier prices (lowest and highest) they offered during the public tender for the items selected in the client's basket. If, after conducting a price survey, you determine that the items selected in the basket can be purchased for a different price, say, a lower one, you should indicate that amount as the maximum acceptable order price, which may be lower than the minimum predicted price. This information is only indicative, helping PO to orient themselves when forming the purchase budget. It should be noted that when executing orders, PO itself specifies the maximum purchase budget, and suppliers during the tender have the right only to reduce the proposed price but cannot exceed the specified amount – max. budget.
The minimum price of order baskets varies across modules. Exact information is provided in the description of the specific module and indicated in the order filling window in the respective module.
This prediction is based on the maximum supplier prices (lowest and highest) they offered during the public tender for the items selected in the client's basket.

In the CPO LT electronic catalog, after forming an order basket, you must specify the maximum acceptable order price, i.e., how much you have planned to pay for the purchased goods, services, works. Only those supplier proposals that meet all the specified client conditions, including the maximum order price, are evaluated during the competition. Supplier proposals that exceed the maximum order price are automatically rejected and not evaluated.
Different suppliers compete in separate purchase parts, so they will not be able to submit a proposal for all the goods/services you specified. Separate baskets need to be formed according to the purchase parts. If a part contains several items, e.g., pencils and erasers, you can put them in one basket.
You can determine the maximum acceptable budget in several ways: – Conduct a market price analysis by analyzing our published order data (use Excel filters): Data on orders completed through the CPO LT catalog.
– After adding an item to the basket, you will see the predicted budget (applies not to all modules). This prediction is based on the maximum supplier prices (lowest and highest) they offered during the public tender for the items selected in the client's basket. – By clicking the "Eur" sign next to the specification, you will see the price proposals of the last 5 winning suppliers (applies to the new catalog).
– Rely on your institution's annual procurement plans; – Publicly available information online, etc.
The available color options are specified in the technical specification. If there is no field in the order where you can precisely specify or select the required color, after signing a contract with the winning Supplier, you will have to agree on the color with the Supplier via email, electronic order system, or another convenient method.
Final prices depend on how many suppliers can submit proposals and what the supplier proposal prices will be for a specific PO order. The following factors may influence lower prices for goods and services: delivery time (the longer, the better); payment term (the shorter, the better); duration of a long-term contract (the longer, the better); contract value (the more goods, services); the number of marked cities in fuel tenders (the fewer, the better). Prices from already completed tenders are provided in the section "Data on orders completed through the CPO LT catalog" at 2007.cpo.lt.
No. All costs and fees related to the supply of Goods are included in the Goods price. Please note that Goods are delivered to the "first office," i.e., the SUPPLIER is not obliged to provide Goods distribution services.
The initial contract value is calculated according to the procedure established in the VPT Pricing Rules methodology. This is the value without value-added tax (VAT). When indicating the initial contract value in the initial contract, the value that may arise from the options provided in the procurement documents and the contract (contract term, purchased quantities, scope, object changes, etc.) is not included. The initial contract value does not change throughout the contract execution period, except when the contract value is reviewed according to the price review conditions specified in it (e.g., price recalculation due to market price changes). It is important to emphasize that when amending the contract during its execution, for example, according to the provisions of Article 89 of the PPL, changes are calculated from the initial contract value. The contract price is the price payable to the supplier with VAT. This term is most commonly used in contracts where fixed price or fixed price with review pricing is applied. The contract price during contract execution, depending on the conditions specified or applied in Article 89 of the PPL, may change due to both price review and contract options. For example, in a works contract with a fixed price with review, the contract price is 121 thousand euros (with VAT), the initial contract value is 100 thousand euros. During contract execution, 30% of the works were abandoned, and the contract price was reduced by 36 thousand, after the amendment, the contract price is equal to 85 thousand euros, while the initial contract value remains 100 thousand euros. If the contracting authority needs additional works, which according to the provisions of Article 89, paragraph 1, point 2 of the PPL, it can acquire up to 50% of the initial contract value, both before and after the mentioned contract amendment, the limit for acquiring additional works will be calculated from the initial contract value – 100 thousand (excluding VAT). Conversely, if the contract price were increased during contract execution, any subsequent contract amendments would be calculated not from the increased price but from the initial contract value.
Currently, there is no such option.
In many cases, the Client cannot submit the basket for audit when an inappropriate (unsupported by the CPO LT catalog) browser is used. We recommend using one of the following browsers: "Mozilla Firefox," "Google Chrome," or "Apple Safari." Also, not all order fields may be filled. In such cases, the Client is shown a note indicating what is not filled.
