It is in the process of being hired for "supply of a double-cabin Pick-Up vehicle to the Department of Civil Protection and Emergencies" file 77/2017.
"As members of the contracting table, we have observed various circumstances that make us think that basic principles such as free competition and better offers for our local administration would be violated," says Antonio Mecca.
These circumstances are as follows:
The technical specifications contain aspects and requirements that would claim a particular brand "Toyota Hilux 2.4 D-4D VX" because it includes inconsequential requirements such as the length and width of the vehicle of little importance for the utility of the same.
The above mentioned point is confirmed by the fact that the different financiers involved in this procedure have offered the same vehicle Toyota Hilux 2.4 D-4D VX.
This coincidence so curious has been confirmed by the financial ones to our requirement on the reasons that have led them to offer this particular vehicle and the coincidence with the other companies of their competence with the phrase "has to be that by the technical prescriptions published"
The facts described coincide with complaints from other dealers who are excluded by these procedures and can not show up to offer their vehicles.
What is exposed in this letter was already cause of annulment at our request, the procedure of acquisition or renting of four vehicles 4x2 for the Municipal Police, because it is aimed at the purchase of a particular make and model.
It also coincides that the mercantile that manages the Toyota brand in Lorca is the same administrators as the one of Renault, Mr. López García, curiously those who have been bought four vehicles in 21 days with several allegedly irregular issues that have led us to ask reports of intervention and contracting services on these procedures.
The councilman observes "a presumed guidance or assessment of a particular brand that could cause economic damage to the City Council for the basic principle of the contracting agency that is to get the best offer at the lowest price, and we have requested the challenge and annulment of the file 77/2017 for the provision of a double-cabin Pick-Up vehicle for hire to the Department of Civil Protection and Emergencies and the technical and optional specifications for the award of this vehicle.
