You already have the webinar video held on June 20 to explain the aggregate publication of contracts.
In the context of analyzing the activity of the basic administration services that form part of the AOC Consortium's service catalog and as an additional action to stimulate the use of the Public Procurement Services Platform (hereinafter PSCP), from the AOC's Area of Dynamization and Territory, councils without recent activity on the tool were invited, with the aim of providing training to help them comply with the regulations governing the use of this tool.
In accordance with this regulatory framework, the entities that make up the local administration of Catalonia, like the rest of the Catalan public administrations, must inform the PSCP the activity related to public procurement in the contracting profiles of their contracting bodies. In this way, it is necessary to give publicity to all phases of tenders and other information related to the contracting process, in the terms described in Law 9/2017, of November 8, on Public Sector Contracts, by which the Directives of the European Parliament and of the Council 2014/23/UE and 2014/ 24/EU, of February 26, 2014. In addition, the aforementioned regulation also establishes, specifying minor contracting, the obligation to publish it, at least quarterly.
The non-publication of information in the contractor's profile hosted on the PSCP, it can become a very serious infringement (art. 77.1.a of Law 19/2014) and a cause of full legal nullity of the contracts concluded (art. 39.2.c of the LCSP).
For all of the above and with the desire that all the local administrations of Catalonia comply with the legal obligations, the AOC carried out Thursday 20 in June a brief webinar, which incorporated information focused on the publication of minor contracts in the PSCP.
