At General State Administration level, the Central Administrative Tribunal of Contractual Appeals is responsible for considering and ruling on:
a) Special appeals in contractual matters brought in relation to the acts mentioned in article 310.2 of Law 30/2007, of 30 October, when referring to any of the contracts listed in section 1 of the same document.
Contracts which may be appealed
Contracts for building work, concession of public works, supply, collaboration services between the Public and Private Sectors, and framework agreements, subject to harmonised regulation.
Contracts for services included in categories 17 to 27 of Appendix II of this law with an estimated value of €193,000 or over.
- Management contracts for public services where the budget for expenditure of the first establishment, excluding the Value Added Tax, is over €500,000 and the time of duration exceeds five years.
Acts which may be appealed
Announcements of tenders, bidding conditions and contractual documents establishing the conditions for the contract.
Administrative acts adopted in the awarding process, as long as these are directly or indirectly decisive for the award, determine the impossibility of continuing the proceedings or produce lack of defence or irreparable harm to legitimate rights or interests. Administrative acts determining the impossibility of continuing the proceedings are considered to be the acts of the Contract Awarding Committee in which the exclusion of tenders is agreed.
- Adjudication agreements adopted by the adjudicating powers.
b) The question of nullity in the cases set out in article 37 of Law 30/2007, of 30 October, for contracts subject to harmonised regulation and those for services included in the categories 17 to 27 of Appendix II of this Law with an estimated value of €193,000 or over.
