Since the entry into force of the new Public Sector Contracts Act (9/1017) and the obligation to apply electronic processes in public procurement procedures, e-Procurement has experienced a period of boom for the continuous adaptations of the tools of the Generalitat de Catalunya, developed by the Technical Secretariat of the Advisory Board together with the ICT Area of the Department of the Vice-Presidency, Economy and Finance, which the AOC implements in the local world and in universities.
We would like to highlight these innovations introduced by the new LCSP the obligation that applies, from its entry into force on March 9, 2018 to all contracting bodies of the public sector, to require companies to submit tenders to procurement files through electronic means.
In this way, We remind you that on 15/03/2018, the Public Procurement Services Platform was implemented in all user entities (PSCP) of the areas of application of the AOC service, the About Digital 2.0 tool, which through integration with the PSCP allows the publication of tenders enabling the submission of electronic proposals in those procedures that require enveloping bids.
As a result of the Generalitat's service offering to entities within its scope and this activation of the same in the local world and universities (areas of implementation of the AOC), today the following have been published in the PSCP more than 2.500 tenders enabled with this option that have allowed the presentation of more than 7.400 offers through this channel.
D'altra banda, the Telematic Presentation of Offers, second functionality that allows companies to submit proposals for tenders electronically through the PSCP, designed for minor procedures, negotiated without publicity, derived from framework agreement and the new open simplified and simplified abbreviated, despite being available prior to the entry into force of the new LCSP, was automatically configured by all bodies in the areas of implementation of the AOC service on the same date as the Digital Envelope. With this type of presentation, they have already been published in the Contractor Profiles more than 1.000 tenders during 2018, allowing the submission of more than 1.600 bids.
Regarding the Public Procurement Services Platform (PSCP), we remind you that despite its adaptation for compliance with the requirements of Law 9/2017 the day before the entry into force of the same, it is still evolving in order to offer more fully and simply functionally these adaptations. You have a description of these developments in the document Recommendations for use of PSCP with the entry into force of Law 9/2017. We also summarize below the different phases it includes. Currently, phase 1 and phase 2 are implemented:
Otherwise it has been considered necessary to prioritize in front of the phases of adaptation 3 and 4 that are not yet implemented, the novelties described below:
Finally, as news that will be applied to the Public Register of Contracts soon, we highlight the bulk settlement functionality and enabling a specific file for reporting minor contracts. We will publish information on the use of these new features in the future Support PortalRPC.
Remember that as each of the new features described above that are missing to be implemented in the e-procurement tools offered by the AOC are put into production, we will make the corresponding post on this blog and you will receive an e-mail communication in case you have processed the subscription the same.
