Transparency of Red Flags in Public Procurement (PY0074)

Brief description of the commitment: Red flags allow the detection of risk areas within the public procurement system by identifying, within the universe of procedures, those that show signs of anomalies that could be investigated to rule out the possibility of corruption.

What is the problem that the engagement seeks to address? The aim is to provide a solution to the problem of the lack of detection of irregularities that affect the integrity and quality of public contracting.

What is the Commitment? It is to make available to the public new network flags on public procurement, which can be used for citizen monitoring, promoting transparency and integrity of procurement activities. Detect irregularities in bidding processes. Empower citizens on the analysis of procurement data through the implemented red flags. Improve citizen perception through greater access to tools that make the purchasing process more transparent. Create opportunities for citizen control of the public contracting system. Comply with the right to information and encourage citizen involvement in the exercise of control.

How will you contribute to solving the problem? Improve the detection of irregularities that affect the integrity and quality of public procurement, through greater citizen involvement in the monitoring of bids from the network flags developed by the DNCP.

Why is it relevant to OGP values? Through the publication of visualization boards of the network flags in the Strategic Information System, located in the Public Procurement Portal. Through the availability of network flags, with continuously updated data. The DNCP will share the new tool through news on the Portal and in all the institution's social networks.
