Durante muchos años, la Unión Europea exigió al Reino de España articular una serie de medidas tendentes a garantizar los procedimientos de recurso en materia de adjudicación de contratos públicos. La materia tiene una importancia crucial en las políticas europeas y su impacto económico llega a alcanzar la quinta parte del PIB del conjunto de los Estados miembros. Por esta razón, se hizo necesaria la creación de órganos independientes con competencia en la resolución de este tipo de conflictos que velaran por el principio de libre concurrencia. El Tribunal de Justicia de la Unión Europea considera que la naturaleza y funciones de tipo de órganos, que a partir del Tribunal Central de Recursos Contractuales se han extendido a gran parte de las Comunidades Autónomas, son asimilables a las de los órganos jurisdiccionales.For many years, the European Union demanded the Kingdom of Spain to articulate a series of measures to ensure the review procedures in the field of public procurement. The matter is of crucial importance in European policies and their economic impact can reach a fifth of the GDP of all the Member States. For this reason, the creation of independent bodies with competence in the resolution of such conflicts that shall ensure the principle of free competition was necessary. The Court of Justice of the European Union considered that the nature and functions of type of organs, which starting from the Public Procurement Review Central Administrative Court have been extended to much of the Autonomous Communities, are similar to the justice courts.

LABURPENA: Europa 2020 estrategiak balioetsi duenez, kontratazio publikoa tresna egokia da sozialki integratzailea, berdea eta berrikuntza-sustatzailea izango den hazkundea lortzeari begira. Europar Batasuneko Justizia Auzitegiaren jurisprudentzia-doktrinak klausula sozialak sartzea onartu du, baina kontratazio publikoaren printzipioak (funtsean, lehia askea) ez mugatzeko baldintzapean. Horrela, bada, 2004ko zuzentarauek jurisprudentzia-doktrina positibizatu zuten. Zuzentarauen laugarren belaunaldiak, berriz, paradigma-aldaketa ekarri du. Horren bidez, kontratazio publikoa erabiltzen da gizarteratzeko politikak, ingurumen-politikak eta berrikuntza-politikak sustatzeko bitarteko apropos gisara. Sektore Publikoko Kontratuei buruzko Legearen proiektuaren bidez ari da jorratzen 2014/24 Zuzentarauaren transposizioa. Klausula sozialen arloan, kontratazio publikoaren paradigma berriari erantzuten al dio proiektuak? Kontu horixe jorratu nahi da lan honen bidez. RESUMEN: La Estrategia Europa 2020 ha considerado que la contratación pública es un instrumento adecuado para lograr un crecimiento socialmente integrador, verde y que fomente la innovación. La incorporación de cláusulas sociales ha sido aceptada por la doctrina jurisprudencial del TJUE, aunque condicionada a no limitar los principios de la contratación pública, fundamentalmente la libre competencia. Así, las directivas de 2004 positivizaron la doctrina jurisprudencial. La cuarta generación de directivas, por su parte, ha introducido un cambio de paradigma que instrumentaliza la contratación pública como medio idóneo para el fomento de políticas de integración social, ambiental y de innovación. La transposición de la Directiva 2014/24 se está abordando mediante el Proyecto de Ley de Contratos del Sector Público. ¿Responde el proyecto al nuevo paradigma de la contratación pública en materia de cláusulas sociales? Esa es la cuestión que pretende abordarse a través del presente trabajo. ABSTRACT: The Europa 2020 strategy found public procurement to be an adequate tool for achieving a socially and green integrative growth and that promotes innovation. The incorporation of social clauses has been accepted by the case law doctrine of the EUCJ, although subjected to not to curtail public procurement principles, mainly free competition. Thus, 2004 Directives positivize the case law doctrine. The fourth generation of Directives, in turn, has introduced a paradigm shift that uses the public procurement as an ideal way to promote social integration, environment and innovation policies. The transposition of the directive 2014/24 is being carried out by means of the Bill on Public Contracts. Does this bill answer to the new paradigm in public procurement as far as social clauses are concerned? That is the issue we try to deal with in this work.

Subject. The article deals with the analysis of suppliers in the public procurement system based on reasonable prequalification parameters. Objectives. The aim is to test the hypothesis about strong reputation characteristics of the winners in the public procurement system and develop a methodology for assessing the reputation of suppliers for prequalification purposes. Methods. We employ general scientific principles and methods of research, like abstraction, generalization of approaches used by domestic and foreign authors for prequalification and assessment of reputation of public procurement participants. Results. To test the hypothesis, we calculated four groups of indicators on corporate, financial, market, and social components of reputation. The methodology was tested on the data obtained from SPARK-Interfax and SPARK-Marketing information resources. Conclusions. The study revealed that not all reputational characteristics of public procurement winners can be regarded as high level. In terms of the corporate component, it is the low level of share capital, indicating the mistrust on the part of owners and their reluctance to invest in the business, and the low percentage of non-current assets. In terms of the market component, it is a low sales growth rate, as well as low return on sales. As to the financial component, it is a low capitalization of winners, low share of long-term debt capital and low credit limit. With respect to the social component, it is a below-average tax burden.

Bid Rigging

Aim: In the practice of awarding public contracts, sometimes the behavior of market actors, instead of competing with other entities, are aimed at illegal cooperation, including bid rigging. The above shows that healthy competition is not possible without efficient market control. In public procurement market this control is, primarily, carried out by public procurement entities: the President of the Public Procurement Office (Prezes UZP) and the National Appeal Chamber (KIO), and furthermore by President od the Office of Competition (Prezes UOKiK) and Consumer Protection and the Court od Competition and Consumer Protection. and Consumer Protection (SOKiK). The interesting issue is how the activities of the President of Office of Competition and Consumer Protection targeted  to contend with bid rigging affects on the activities of President of the Public Procurement Office (Prezes UZP) or the National Appeal Chamber (KIO). Design / Research methods: analysis and comparison decisions/ judgment issued by the President of the Public Procurement Office, National Appeal Chamber, the President of  the Office of Competition and Consumer Protection and the Court of Competition and Consumer Protection. Conclusions: The analysis has shown that the existence of specificities in the activities of the decision-making bodies and the judgments examined. However, in keeping with the specificity of the forms and objectives of control, these entities should cooperate, to a greater extent than before. Expanding the scope of cooperation would make it possible to better contend with bid rigging without changing the competition protection model. The introduction of institutionalized instruments for cooperation between the authorities seems to be valuable in terms of system solutions. Value of the article: The main value of the article is the comparison of selectively selected decisions and judgments representative of the problem under consideration and their comparative analysis in order to achieve the research objectives. The article deals with issues relevant to both public procurement practitioners and the state bodies dealing with procurement matters.

Sustainability Assessments

This article departs from the perspective of Swedish regional transport authorities and focuses on the public procurement of bus transports. Many of these public organizations on the county level have the ambition to contribute to a transition involving the continued marginalization of fossil fuels and improved sustainability performance. However, there are several renewable bus technologies to choose between and it can be difficult to know what alternative (or combination) is preferable. Prior research and the authors’ experiences indicate a need for improved knowledge and supportive methods on how sustainability assessments can support public procurement processes. The purpose of this article is to develop a multi-criteria assessment (MCA) method to support assessments of public bus technologies’ sustainability. The method, which was established in an iterative and participatory process, consists of four key areas and 12 indicators. The article introduces the problem context and reviews selected prior research of relevance dealing with green or sustainable public procurement and sustainability assessments. Further on, the process and MCA method are presented and discussed based on advice for effective and efficient sustainability assessments. In the companion article (Part II), the MCA method is applied to assess several bus technologies involving biodiesel, biomethane, diesel, electricity, ethanol and natural gas.

Total Impact

Urbanization projects, understood as those supplying basic services for cities, such as drinking water, sewers, communication services, power, and lighting, are normally short-term extremely scattered actions, and it can be difficult to track their environmental impact. The present article’s main contribution is to employ the project budgets of public urbanization work to provide an instrument for environmental improvement, thereby helping public procurement, including sustainability criteria. Two urban projects in Seville, Spain are studied: the first substitutes existing services, and the second also includes gardens and playgrounds in the street margins. The methodology finds the construction elements that must be controlled in each project from the perspective of three indicators: carbon, water footprints, and embodied energy. The main impacts found are due to only four construction units: concrete, aggregates, asphalt, and ceramic pipes for the sewer system, that represent 70% or more of the total impact in all indicators studied. The public developer can focus procurement on those few elements in order to exert a lower impact and to significantly reduce the environmental burden of urbanization projects.
