Green light to the new procurement code, with the primary objective of the simplification of legislation, the transparency and quality. This was stated by Minister of Infrastructure, Graziano Delrio, following the Council of Ministers, which approved the new text, “a substantial reform that aims to make the public works system finally live up to a big European country.” The new code incorporates the old and three European directives and passes by more than 600 articles and paragraphs 1.500 to 217 items. At the center of the new text also rules on project quality, which must guarantee the certainty of the work, its time and costs.
“Just the maximum downward races, the choice combines price and quality,” he stressed Delrio, illustrating the main novelties of the new procurement code. “The issue of licenses for the first time was regulated by law and that the operational risk must be borne by the private individual who should not be able to return in investments. The State is not obliged to re-balance by force. ” “It seems trivial – he added – but it is a revolution.”
In the code of contracts, “there is the choice to overcome the objective law: enough with the extraordinary procedures, apply the normal revolution” has yet sottolinato Minister. The measure “refers to a very good planning, the works are chosen on the basis of their usefulness, they are inserted on the basis of the programming tools. It is a very clear and strong choice, we are happy, “said the minister of Infrastructure.
Other important points of the decree will be a strong focus on planning of measures and the transparency of competitions also through computer procedures, the reduction the contracting authorities, the simplification of procedures, the new role Anac. The text must now gather the opinions of the parliamentary committees, the Council of State and the Joint Conference, to then have the final shipping Via by April 18 deadline to apply the instructions of Brussels.
The new code “is a small Copernican revolution in the system of procurement in our country,” the president said Anac, Raffaele Cantone, at the conference ‘risk management in the construction industry’ organized by the sector Aicq buildings. “Alone – continues Canton – a law is not able to solve problems and this law will not have a redeeming effect, but some news the door, even in trying to avoid one of the main risks of the contracts, the risk of corruption.”
Here are some of the main points of the code
DIRECTOR’S CABIN is the key national body for cooperation with the European Commission regarding the application of legislation on public procurement and concessions.
MOST ECONOMICALLY ADVANTAGEOUS: the new text will be moved out of maximum discount policy, will remain only for the lowest amount races, in favor economically most advantageous tender which also allows to evaluate the quality of ‘ offer and the guarantees offered in social and environmental terms.
dESIGN: plays a fundamental role and is divided into three levels: project feasibility, final design and executive project. This should limit the number of variants of projects and the increase of cost and time.
ROLE ANAC: Authority is given a central role in the reform of control, monitoring and even penalties capacity as well as adoption of guidance documents such as guidelines, notices and model contracts.
CONTROVERSIAL pOINTS: in drafts of the text there are some points that concern the social partners. The trade unions are indeed on a war footing for the rule limiting to 20% the assignments house for motorway concessions, saying that there is a risk of losing 2,000 jobs, and they have called a strike for 11 March . From the point of view of the associations rather the Reeds, through President Claudio De Albertis, shows how critical the lack of a single qualification by Soa mandatory for races over 150 thousand euro and not the million Euros, direct payment to sub-contractors, and the lack of an anti-disturbance system for the races below threshold. For engineers, the mouth of the President of Inarcassa Andrea Tomasi Foundation instead “the entralità of the project, specifically enhanced in the enabling law, has not found adequate development in the code.” While Oice, the association of architecture and engineering firm, invites you to be very careful “to the transitional provisions which, if misapplied, can clog the industry.”
