The Municipal Group MC Cartagena will present a motion at the next plenary session to ratify the work, during the current term, of the Administrative Unit of Contracting and Purchasing of the City Council
In this sense, the spokesman of the training Cartagena, José López, recalled that "since we took office, always supported by technical recommendations, we adopted a series of decisions aimed at optimizing municipal contracting, ballasted by the clientelism of the years of Government of the PP ".
Recognition of good practices
In the same way, López highlighted that thanks to these decisions the City Council obtained the recognition of good practices in terms of transparency of the Network of Local Entities for Transparency and Citizen Participation of the Spanish Federation of Municipalities and Provinces (FEMP).
In this regard, the spokesman of MC Cartagena has ensured that "all these achievements came hand in hand with the effort and dedication of municipal workers attached to the Unit of Procurement and Purchasing, who were exponentially increased workload after years of lethargy , achieving a rebound in the number and quality of works and projects ".
He also pointed out that "we have witnessed how they have extended their
working day to be able to take the work forward, while those responsible for Human Resources, ordered by the socialist mayor Francisco Aznar, denied the means to a fundamental area of ​​the City. "
Important measures
Among the most important measures that were adopted for the optimization of this service, some stand out as:
Adhesion to the Central of Purchases of the Ministry of Finance, which allowed the total renovation of the Mobile Park of the Local Police
Centralization of some purchases of municipal services.
Lower the limit of contracts less than six thousand euros plus VAT, those that could be awarded by the councilors and general managers with no more requirement than having the authorization and corresponding invoice.
In this way, those that exceeded this amount were processed by the contract negotiation, thus allowing greater control.
Withdrawal of 'invitations to three companies', both in minor contracts and in those called 'negotiated without advertising', so that, although there is no obligation to do so, they are published on the municipal website so that any company knows the tender and can opt for it, thus gaining in participation and transparency.
Start-up of the telematic tender, making it easier for companies to present their offers through the municipal website.
Opening of tenders in the Contracting Committee, in which, during the MC Government, all the municipal groups, unlike what happens now, were represented.
The socialist government and its partners question their work
In spite of all these measures adopted with their respective good results, in the last months the workers of the Administrative Unit of Contracting and Purchases have seen their work questioned by the heads of the Socialist Government and its partners
of PP and C`s.
Thus, even the head of the Bureau has been forced to give explanations in the Office of the Prosecutor as a result of the criminal investigation proceedings opened after a false report.
José López regretted that after hearing this news, the spokesmen of the PSOE and Citizens, Obdulia Gomez and Manuel Padin, took the opportunity to ask the head of the Cartagena councilor, Isabel Garcia, "aware that by questioning their excellent work they were also questioning the impeccable work of great municipal officials ".
"Now they are silent and they will not apologize, that is clear to us, because they are the ones who have paid for the fallacy, but if they keep a minimum of respect, they will support this pronouncement," López concluded.
