How are contracts in the education sector?

The contracts in the educational world, go theme. In the end, they are the backbone of schools and universities, it doesn't matter if they are public or private. Without these agreements - which almost always leave tenders - there are no slates, computers, or toilet paper in the bathrooms. Everything that makes it possible for a school to work through these contracts.

What kind of contracts are we talking about? Well, a bit, really. From the typical contract to raise a new building (which always seems that they end late, by the way), to those of buying computers, tablets, electronic blackboards, and even catering services for the dining room. Without forgetting the cleanliness, that to know how the halls would be without it, or school transport, because not everyone lives next to school.

The process to catch one of these contracts is nothing from the other world but it is not like asking for a pizza, eye. Everything begins with the publication of a call, where the list of requirements and conditions is released. Interested companies fight - fundamentally - mandating their proposals, and then the institution starts reviewing everything: who has a better price, who offers more quality, how much experience they have, that roll.

In many countries, this is not the wild west: there are laws that regulate everything. For example, in Spain we have the Public Sector Contracts Law, which basically says how things should be done so that nobody goes ready. They talk about terms, criteria, rights, obligations ... the typical. And yes, a lot of small print.

For companies that plan to get into the eggplant this of educational tenders, it must be clear: this sector has its own rules. Education is a fundamental right, so it is not worth selling a cat for hare. Everything that is hired has to be of quality and at a fair price, because it is not played with the education of the Peña.

And be careful, here is more magnifying glass than in other sectors. Because? Because public pasta is handled and nobody wants to see their money lying in nonsense. There are audits, controls, and if you, you fall a good one.

Now, if a company does well, a fixed hole can be done. Educational institutions always need things, so if you show that you are trustworthy, you can have a work for a while. Come on, it can be an open door to cool opportunities if you don't put the leg.
