How is the notification of administrative acts performed?

Basic Concepts

The roll of notifying administrative acts in public tenders is key. It's like the official administration WhatsApp: if you don't find out what they decide, you basically stay out of the game. All this is mounted to ensure that nobody gets mistakes and that the whole move is transparent. You know, so that they do not say that there is a tongo or favoritism.

And how is the thing going? Because there are a lot of norms (Law 39/2015 in Spain and the like in other countries) that leave everything tied and well tied. The idea is that the notification does reach the recipient, nothing "oh, I didn't know." So, if you have a company and want to catch a public, you have to control this process as if it were the bank's pin.

When they notify you something, it is not worth with a "hey, yes, that we have told you something." They have to send you the full text of the resolution, tell you if it is definitive and explain how you can claim or resort, in case you do not agree. And they tell you how long do you have to complain and where you have to go protest.

Today, almost everything goes by electronic means, especially if you are a company or an entity. But if you are a natural person (or gives you to ask for it), they can also do it to the old way, paper and all that.

The place where they send it to you, because it depends. If you have said "let me know here", then there it goes. If you have not specified anything, they try anywhere that makes sense. What do you hunt you either? Well, they pull home. And if neither for those, because they end up publishing it in the TEU or in the Official Gazette, and if you find out well, and if not ... well bad luck.

Eye, if you do badly the info for notifications, you can get into a good mess: from losing a business opportunity to end without being able to resort a decision that does not cool anything. So, nothing gets prayed with the data.

Summarizing and without flourishes: this notifications is the basis for not eating brown in public tenders. It is time to be attentive and have everything well placed to receive them, because then it is not worth crying.
