Reformas a las compras públicas, en procesos de importación.

Abstract

The process of public procurement abroad allows contracting entities, through literal d, Art. 125 of the Organic Code of Production, Trade and Investment, COPCI; to be exempt from the payment of all taxes on foreign trade in imports made by entities of the Public Sector. For this reason, many institutions, with the aim of saving acquisition costs as there are no intermediaries, give the possibility of choosing the latest technology systems and equipment, provide direct manufacturer's guarantee, facilities to obtain high availabilit y of parts and components of the system for replacement in case of damages.By not having regulations governing the selection of the foreign supplier, it is imperative to regulate and dictate minimum parameters for the selection of foreign suppliers, and thus avoid that this form of contracting is a means to circumvent the regulations of the national system of public purchases.
