What is the principle of transparency?

Let's see, the roll of transparency in public tenders is no nonsense. It is basically the starting point so that the whole process does not smell unclear or end up benefiting the usual. The idea? That anyone can see, understand and participate without having to decipher hieroglyphs or be quiet from the official on duty. Transparency is that everything is in sight, without trap or cardboard.

In practice, this means that the authorities have to put all the info on tenders in the silver tray: from the ad, the criteria to win, the limit dates, to the details that could make you think twice before throwing you. That is, nothing to hide the small print or change the rules in the middle of the game.

But the thing doesn't end there. When you have to evaluate and decide who takes the prize, transparency also means that they do not make the classic "I invite my compadre and you thank you for participating." They have to follow the rules that put from the beginning and, if you were left out, tell you exactly why. So if you want to claim, at least you have where to start.

And be careful that this principle does not walk alone. He goes hand in hand with other important ones: equality for all, zero discrimination and nothing to go from thread with conditions. Everything for the matter to be fair and not waste public wool in scams.

Legally, the theme is super supported. In Europe, for example, the 2014/24/24/24/that makes it clear. And most countries have their own laws so that no one gets mad.

If you are a company and you want to add to a public tender, you better be clear about this roll. That is, read the documents well, ask what you do not understand, send everything in time and without rare shortcuts, and play clean. If you see something crooked, you have the right to complain. It is not just for you, it is for all those who want to compete in good fight.
