Competitions are organized for every public place. If the tender does not take place (there is not a single request to participate in the tender for a specific public place), it is announced a second time and, if necessary, a third time. At the moment, the tender is being held precisely for those places that have not yet attracted the interest of entrepreneurs”, explained the specialist.
