Nota informativa
Madrid, June 29, 2020.
Given the information that maintains that the Center for Sociological Research did not request four offers to carry out the contracting of the special barometers on the coronavirus for the months of April and May, the CIS confirms that four offers and budgets were certainly requested from the following demoscopic companies: INTERCAMPO, IMOP, GESOP and CIMOP. Projects and budgets that were delivered to the CIS, dated, sealed and authenticated, as can be verified in the complete copy of the four budgets that are attached with this note .
Emergency contracts do not require any prior formalization, they can even be verbal, in accordance with article 120 of Law 9/2017, of November 8, on Public Sector Contracts. In this sense, in accordance with the regulations, the request for offers from several companies does not need to be carried out or appear in the file, which is why only that of one of them (the successful bidder) was included in it. However, this did not prevent the CIS, due to relevance criteria, from deciding to request different offers as a matter of utmost urgency, to guarantee objectivity and transparency in its operation.
For these purposes, the real existence of the four projects that were requested, included as an annex to this explanatory press release, can be verified.
