With the entry into force of the Public Sector Contracts Law (9/2017), the obligation to use electronic means is incorporated in all administrative procurement procedures, including the submission of offers by bidding companies.

The Public Procurement Services Platform (PSCP) incorporates among its available functionalities , the electronic submission of offers for minor procurement, negotiated procedures without advertising, contracts based on framework agreements and the new simplified abbreviated procedure. In addition, to comply with that obligation and offer companies the possibility of electronic submission of their offers in procedures that require an envelope solution , the Technical Secretariat of the Administrative Procurement Advisory Board, together with the ICT area of the Department of Economy, has developed the “ Digital Envelope 2.0? , as a web tool integrated with the PSCP, whose application was approved by ORDER VEH/172/2017, of July 25, approving the applications of the Public Procurement Services Platform and the Digital Envelope.

The AOC, as it has been doing with other procurement services offered by the Generalitat, supports the implementation of the Digital Envelope in local and university areas. The aforementioned services are included with registration to the Public Procurement Services Platform, free of charge.
