What advertising obligations exist?

Ok, here is a less “manual of the good official” and more real talk:

Let's see, the issue of advertising in public tenders is not any nonsense. It is the ABC so that the whole process is clean, transparent and that anyone who wants to get into history has the same chance. It is not only because the law says (yes, he says), but because if not, this would be the distant west.

First, public entities have to warn, yes or yes, that there is a contest, and it is not enough to paste the poster at the door. They have to publish it in the Official Gazette, which touches the area. When? Well, with a decent time, not the day before, so that companies can prepare their proposal and do not know when it's too late. The announcement has to explain well what the matter is going: the project, how the winner, deadlines, where the offer is sent ... all that is going to be chosen.

But he doesn't stay there. They also have to hang (well, publish, but you already understand me) the tender papers: specifications, conditions, clauses ... what it touches. And it is not worth charging for looking at these documents, they have to be free and easy to catch, because if not, what is the use of so much transparency?

Then comes the part of evaluating the offers. Eye, here you have to be crystalline. No decisions in the shadow or rare favoritisms. They have to explain well why they chose to this or that company, and tell all who participated. Sometimes he even plays to publish the final contract and the reports of how the selection was, so that everything is clear and no one can say that there was Tongo.

And, surprise: the thing does not end when they already gave the contract. During all the time that the project lasts, they may have to continue publishing reports, invoices, advances ... so that the thread is not lost and everyone sees how the thing is going.

Ah, and not only public entities have duties. The companies that are presented also have to be careful: nothing to hide conflicts of interest, have to give correct data, and follow the rules of advertising and promotion that the contract says. If not, then the messes come.

Anyway, that all this roll of advertising in tenders is not by whim: it is for the process to be fair and nobody targets where it should not. So, if you want to enter this world, you better learn these rules well and do not jump, because here the one who does not run, flies.
