The obligation to use the PSCP

Els main objectives of the Platform are:

  • Offer an open system to other administrations.
  • Offer a central point of access to public procurement information via the Internet.
  • Facilitate access for companies to all tenders in the Catalan public sector.
  • Facilitate secure publication on the Internet with legal effects.
  • Facilitate data interoperability with other systems.
  • Guarantee the integration of data with the rest of the information systems.

It should be remembered that, in accordance with the regulatory framework that regulates the use of PSCP, 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).
