Parliament violates law in tender for auditing party finances, adapts criteria to certain companies

The Assembly's procurement office on 7 February has opened tenders for “auditing annual financial and financial declaration reports of the political subject campaign 2021”.

Parliament officials have placed discriminatory criteria in the tender file that favour certain companies, writes Periscopi.com.

Attempted to favour certain companies, or discriminated against other racers, has missed.

Determining Illegal criteria has observed Anti-Corruption Agency - The AAK, which has immediately directed an opinion with suggestions for improving the tender file and the contract announcement.

“The AKK has noted that in “technical and professional capacity”, the contractor authority has asked companies to provide evidence that they have successfully completed similar nature contracts in the past three years for the period until the release of the contract announcement, totaling no less than 45, 000 euros. And in the required documentary testimony: required as follows: A list that presents the contracts of similar nature concluded in the past three years for the period to publish the contract announcement, specifying the completed date, the kind of services involved, the acceptance of services, the total amount of contract worth no less than 45.000 euros. The written testimony (reference, certificates, reports, or other equivalent documents) issued by the recipient of the services for these completed contracts presented on the list, where the final value of the contract should also be marked in the testimony in total no less than 45.000. A hundred euros. Researching which the AKK considers to be incompatible with the Law provisions in force for public procurement, more precisely with Article 69”, the thuhs in the AKK opinion that Periscopi has seen.

Anti-corruption has considered that procurement of the Parliament has had no right to limit the number of contracts and references to the specified value. The key key to the contracting authority is to prove that economic operators meet the minimum value required by the contracting Authority, despite the number of contracts and references. And not as in the concrete case where the number of contracts and references at certain value” is required, it is further said in this opinion.

Also, Article 2 says: The contracting authority would not execute any aspect of procurement activity in a way that reduces competition among economic operators or discriminates to harm or benefit one or more economic operators. Therefore, anti-corruption has considered that demands such as in concrete cases limit free competition and discriminate against economic operators who have a capacity to enjoy economic, technical-professional satisfaction.

“The rulings of the Accounting Authority, we consider that they clash with Article 7, Equality in Treatment/No discrimination, Article 27 The tender file, below 69 technical/professional capacity of the Public Procurement Law. We consider that such violations should not be allowed in the procurement activity, so the Anti-Corruption Agency recommends that these violations be avoided, through standard reporting for additional information and for improving mistakes, by reporting to the operators who have withdrawn the tender file”, moved away in the AKK report.

As Periscope has seen, the Kuveden Procurement Office has accepted the AKK's opinion, and according to the KRPP website report, it appears that discrimination reports have been removed and standard form of improvement has been published. Despite this illegal process, it scared the companies. During yesterday, the procurement of the Parliament has announced in the KCPP that it has cancelled this procurement process to first tender. That is because no offer has been accepted even after the improved violations.

An open procedure was applied for this procurement activity, a contract for medium value services envisioned in the amount of 30,000 euros. A few days ago, political parties have sent reports of financial mirrors spent on the 2021 local elections election campaign to the CEC. / P ERISCOPIA
