This past April, Girona City Council held an electronic auction using the tool or application made available by the Public Procurement Services Platform (PSCP) free of charge for all those entities that wish to use it.
The object of the auction of the municipality of Girona was the supply of seasonal flowers for the city, specifically for the supply of seasonal flowers of spring / summer (from April to September) and autumn / winter (of October to December) for the parterres of the Devesa gardens, planters in some streets and the parterres in the Carrer del Carme cemetery. The savings obtained and the result of the auction have been quite satisfactory, according to the comments made by the Procurement and Purchasing Service of the Girona City Council.
Girona City Council has been holding electronic auctions since 2004. Specifically, 33 auctions have been held, which has meant significant cumulative savings. Girona has used the electronic auction for the acquisition or lease of computer hardware (computers), computer equipment, acquisition of paper, flowers, trees and plants, traffic signs and road paint, among others, and is firmly committed for this system of use of the new technologies of the information and the communication in the administrative procedure.
