Portal “Public Procurement-Gatewik” suspended for an indefinite time – the guardian

The Institute of the Public Markets, real Estate and Construction, revealed that “the two audits conducted on the electronic platform of public procurement called “Public Procurement” (https://www.compraspublicas.com/) and that boasts the tag “Gatewit” — managed by the company Construlink — have revealed a serious breach and repeated nature of the provisions of Law in force that regulates the activity of the platforms, translated in the improper charging of services to economic operators that, by law, are free of charge,” informs in a statement.

THE IMPIC explained that the decision is a result of the audit to the electronic platforms of public procurement operating in Portugal.

In the statement, released today, the IMPIC said that, since the completion of the first audit (march 2016) until the second (October 2016) took place on the longer term for the company to proceed to the regularization of the discontinuities detected.

But, instead, he adds, the company Construlink created “new services subject to charge” illegal and restricted “the access to the platform by users, which is clearly demonstrative of the behavior recurring.”

On the platform “Public Procurement”, the Gatewit rejects skills to IMPIC to “interpret and apply national law, notably by declaring illegal”, stressing that this paper is of the Portuguese courts and are “not of the mere bodies and public services, inserted in the Public Administration without the powers of regulation over the electronic platforms”.

In the note, the IMPIC said that, in the quality of public entity licensing, monitoring and inspection of electronic platforms for public procurement — in conjunction with the Office for National Security (GNS) — it will provide to all contracting entities and economic operators, users of the platform “Public Purchasing — GATEWIT” technical support and clarifications, as needed.
