Public Administration: recommendations to improve planning and transparency in water procurement

The Joint Commission for Relations with the Court of Auditors has approved the findings of an audit report regarding procurement by the Directorate General for Water, the River Basin Authorities, and the Mancomunidad de los Canales del Taibilla (for the 2020 and 2021 financial years). The resolution calls for prior needs analyses, the publication of annual procurement plans, and improved monitoring of the solvency of successful bidders (points 3 and 5).

In 3 key points

  1. Obligation to conduct prior needs analyses before drafting procurement plans (point 3). (punto 3)
  2. Requirement to publish annual or multi-year procurement plans on contractor profiles and transparency portals (point 3). (punto 3)
  3. Need to ensure that successful bidders demonstrate economic, financial, and technical solvency (point 5). (punto 5)

How it affects those involved

For state public sector entities and those under the Ministry for the Ecological Transition, the resolution demands greater rigour in contractual planning and the publication of plans on contractor profiles (point 3). For bidding companies, it emphasises the need to demonstrate economic, financial, and technical solvency to avoid exclusion (point 5). Additionally, it calls for improved payment monitoring to prevent late payment interest (point 5).
