The application of the "second person out" rule in government procurement of continuous glucose monitoring systems deprived the budget of savings amounting to more than 800 million rubles, Kommersant writes. According to the specialized center of the Ministry of Health, in auctions for contracts worth more than 4 billion rubles, the participants reduced the price of one device by more than 60%, to less than 900 rubles. However, the contracts had to be closed at the maximum starting price due to the requirement to reject foreign offers in the presence of a Russian offer.
