Luis Bermejo denounces "the general practice that the City hire services through external subcontracting and, moreover, that outsourcing was not accompanied almost never a previous economic assessment of resources"

NOW MURCIA calls it mandatory that previous reports to the contract documents are made, providing a detailed and reasoned economic assessment of the estimated amount of the contract as well as the comparative study between the cost of providing the service with the City Council own resources or do it Through outsourcing to external suppliers.

The municipal formation presented at the next plenary a motion in this regard, given the evidence that these requirements are not being met "almost never."

Councilman Luis Bermejo said that "the assessment of the cost that would provide the service with municipal own resources should incorporate both the currently available resources as the cost of new resources in the event that the City does not have sufficient resources to ensure the service ".

Bermejo said that motion is justified by "the widespread practice that the City hire services through external subcontracting and, moreover, that outsourcing was not accompanied almost never a previous economic valuation of resources."

The mayor warns of "the clear political will of the PP to outsource services, which tends to lead to a deterioration in their quality and precarious working conditions for workers."

Therefore, the council asks that any dossier that does not have the economic valuation may not start, and that these proposals apply to all procurement records beginning on or after 1 January 2016. These resolutions, if approved, must be reported to the municipal services of the City Council and the Board of Trade.

According to Luis Bermejo, it is necessary for the procurement of services by outsourcing "is well justified, to check whether the administration may directly manage those services. And if outsourcing is deemed appropriate, the economic assessment must be made mandatory Prior. "

The councilor reminded that there is a draft Bill on Public Sector Contracts, of April 17, 2015, which includes the new Community guidelines relating to planned expenditure in the budget of the local authority for public contracts must follow the administrative procedure both in the design, tendering, evaluation and award of the contract and its execution and termination.

Moreover, the Court of Auditors carried out in the audit report of the Recruitment of Local Authorities of the Autonomous Region for fiscal year 2012 (last published report), on which no observations were issued, prior to processing records, statements of reasons for the mandatory services developers about the nature and extent of the needs they wanted covered by the proposed procurement, as well as the suitability of its purpose and content to meet them, so no need for convenience and justified these contracts and investment of the corresponding public funds affected. "The same report stated that" in addition, entities not accredited insufficient own personal media or materials of the City or the convenience of not expand for this purpose.

Neither the need to outsource the provision of services is justified. "A situation that, as recalled Luis Bermejo," must be reversed urgently. "
