As the portal Lrt.lt wrote, the prices of some services provided by the company of communication specialist Alko Paltarokas attracted attention.

However, some rates are surprising – for example, the conduct of the event last June was estimated at 6.28 thousand. euros, and the photography services provided by the company – 2.9 thousand. Eur.
LRT indicates that the exact works performed and the events organized and conducted by A. Paltarokas are not published, because LGGRTC buys services as low value, a verbal contract is concluded
Only two agreements are publicly announced: for example, the organization of the team’s annual event in July of this year, when A. Paltarokas’ company organized a trip to Dzūkija for 50 employees of the center. The day-long program with a hike, lectures and other activities was priced at Rs 9.78 lakh. Eur.
On its part, LGGRTC assured the portal that the procurement was done transparently and the rates were not distorted.
“When purchasing services, the center monitors the relevant services market and, following the provisions of the Law on Public Procurement, seeks to purchase services at the best possible price,” the answer states.
