Comments |
About the threshold on investigation: what the law says is, contracts “by public agents of the Spanish System of Science, Technology and Innovation, provided that they are not intended for general services and infrastructure of the contracting authority”.
There is other kind of contract: “caja fija”, something like fixed box. Contracts below 5000€, they don’t need to do a below threshold contract, only a ticket.
