The City of Cartagena during the year 2,013 awarded a total of 80 contracts for works and services as it follows from the Recruitment page of the session.
Of the 80 contracts, 67 of them were made by negotiated procedure and only 13 in open competition.
A total of 3,821,334.76 euros were awarded to companies that did not have to compete in an open procedure, where competition undoubtedly improves the amount stated in the awards, with consequent benefits for municipal coffers.
From SPCT not understand that during the economic crisis, with almost intervened Hall, open tender procedure also offers the possibility of equal competition for all enterprises, generates more expensive awards are generally not used and therefore more burdensome for municipal coffers as a result of lack of competition.
To this circumstance is added that in many cases the negotiated procedure without advertising is so in practice contracts awarded to finger, legal, but finger, so that the method well-transparent and expensive, it is unfair from the point of view of equal opportunities.
How to hire the Town Hall, is unlikely to change for 2014 and so far this year have been awarded to this procedure 30 of the 37 works and services allotted to date, amounting to 1,870,640, 68 euros.
From SPCT think it is necessary that the course of action in the method of recruitment by the City of Cartagena is changed, giving possibility to companies opting Cartagena especially contracts with the city administration.
Only the recent Sea Music has caused 3 contracts awarded by negotiated for an amount of EUR 488,909.35 procedure.
