Special administrative remedies in government procurement

Abstract

We analyze the special administrative remedies regime in government procurement. The first part concerns the evolution of administrative resources, marking the differences between these and the appeals, and then we refer to general systems of administrative remedies and the implementation of administrative remedies specialized for particular subjects. Afterward, we analyze a special administrative challenge system, in particular: the administrative remedies in public procurement. To do this, we place a comment on Spanish legislation, since this is the best example of a system like the one presented in this paper, examining the most relevant aspects of the current regulatory system of Spanish resources in the subjects, such as their application field, the standing and the acts that can be challenged. It also deals with the study of the main characteristics of the organ responsible for hearing and resolving these resources and adopts all measures necessary to ensure the effectiveness of the remedy.
