Abstract:Public institutions, such as kindergartens, are committed to ordering food according to the Slovenian Law on public procurement (ZJN-3), which is compliant with EU legislation. There are many bread manufacturers in the market, therefore contracting authority has the challenging task to provide a diverse and high-quality bread and bakery pastries through the process of public procurement. Each buyer has the option of ordering food through the so-called "short chain", which allows the ordering of locally produced cereals, bread from the organic and integrated production. The Ministry of Health of the Republic of Slovenia issued a "Guide to Quality Standards of Food in Public Ordering for Educational Institutions" which supports the ordering process. In addition to quality requirements, the buyer divides the tender documentation into several groups and subgroups (e.g. Bread, Bakery pastries and Bread of organic production). The bakery industry is aware that in kindergartens high-quality bread and bakery pastries are required, therefore they already offer products with reduced salt, sugars, fats, products without trans-fatty acids and gluten. Taking into account the appropriate purchasing specifications and good knowledge of legislation, with respect to public procurement law-related orders, children in kindergartens can be provided with high-quality bread and bakery pastries.
