Fraternidad-Muprespa commits to electronic contracting

Fraternidad-Muprespa, has implemented electronic contracting in all of its tenders

The new Public Sector Contract Law(LCSP), which transposes the Community Directives on public procurement, establishes the mandatory nature of electronic procurement. This has been a novelty for both the Public Sector and the bidders themselves, who until March 2018 could still present their proposals in traditional sealed envelopes.

Fraternidad-Muprespa has assumed from day one the advantages that electronic contracting offers. To this end, it has promoted the use of the Public Sector Contracting Platform (https://contrataciondelestado.es/) developed by the Ministry of Finance and Public Function. This Web platform, whose use is completely free, provides an excellent service to entities that seek complete compliance with the new standard, as it includes all the functionalities required by the LCSP.

In the words of Maria Lopez Jareno, Director of Contracting at

Actions such as the publication of the specifications, the secure reception of offers in electronic format, the convocation of assistance bodies, the real-time validation of administrative documentation, the automatic generation and publication of session minutes, and above all, the transparency that is achieved thanks to the use of the Public Sector Contracting Platform, are advantages that Fraternidad-Muprespa has taken advantage of thanks to electronic contracting.

The rapid adaptation of procurement procedures is included in the objective “ Advance in Digital Transformation" of the Strategic Plan that Fraternidad-Muprespa remains in force during the years 2018 to 2020.
