Since August 1, the National Public Procurement Directorate (DNCP) began a restructuring process and implemented the use of digital signatures and standardization of documentation to issue resolutions in order to avoid the use of paper and increase the transparency of the process.
With these measures, the institution seeks to facilitate the drafting of documents, as well as their comprehension by DNCP users. In addition, the digital signature guarantees the integrity of the document itself through the encryption of its contents. In the case of modifications made after the digital signature, the document issues a warning.
It is also possible to verify the authenticity of digitally signed resolutions by logging on to https://bit.ly/2Yk6vow to access the guides provided by eFirma, the certifying entity.
This first stage includes resolutions of summary proceedings, settlements, investigations, reconsiderations and protests. There are plans to extend this restructuring to regulatory resolutions and circulars, among others.
