Universities and affiliated entities urged to rectify public procurement deficiencies and reporting to the Court of Auditors

The Joint Commission for Relations with the Court of Auditors has approved a resolution following an audit of procurement by universities and their affiliated entities for the 2022 financial year. The resolution urges these entities to comply with the submission of contractual information to the Court of Auditors and to avoid the misuse of minor procurement through the splitting of contract objects (point 1). Furthermore, it demands improved planning and greater rigour in administrative specification documents (points 1 and 3).

In 3 key points

  1. Obligation to submit contractual information to the Court of Auditors in the prescribed time and manner (point 1). (punto 1)
  2. Prohibition of bypassing competitive bidding through the splitting of the contract object in minor procurement (point 1). (punto 1)
  3. Use of successive provision contracts for recurring supplies under a maximum budget (point 4). (punto 4)

How it affects those involved

For universities and their affiliated entities, particularly those in Cantabria, Extremadura, La Rioja, Murcia, and the Polytechnic University of Cartagena, the resolution necessitates strengthening internal controls and procurement transparency (points 1, 2, 3, and 4). Entities must ensure that data submission to the Court of Auditors complies with the Instruction of 28 June 2018 (point 4). For contractors, it is warned that delays in execution must be justified within the file and may lead to the imposition of penalties (point 4).
