The video surveillance market also denounced by the territorial chamber of accounts

0

In its observation report on the management of the COM between the years 2007 and 2014, the Territorial Chamber of Accounts (CTC) denounces the lack of irregularities in certain public contracts and the conditions under which they were awarded. That of video surveillance services launched in 2010 is one of them.

On the one hand, the CTC points out that the market does not respect certain articles of law (civil and monetary codes). On the other hand, it criticizes the community in its methodology. While this divides a market into several (principle of allotment), it has not done so for this market. However, it should have been "allocated in three lots: acquisition and installation of urban video surveillance equipment, annual maintenance and site surveillance". This division would have allowed "more competition" and therefore "an optimization of the price by the community".

Two offers were ultimately presented and analyzed by the tender committee. One in the amount of 5,99 million euros, the other in the amount of 3,5 million euros. The most expensive offer was selected. After revision. Indeed, the contract was awarded for an amount of 4,28 million euros. And the CTC reminds that negotiation is prohibited in the open tendering procedure. "Lowering prices is illegal," she notes.

The territorial chamber of accounts also notes an irregularity in one of the selection criteria as well as its subjectivity. "It is not consistent with the logic of defining needs which must be prior to the award of the contract", explains the CTC for which, "the comparison of offers shows that the market should have been declared unsuccessful and restarted in batches" .

"The attribution to the service provider is unjustified" (Source: www.soualigapost.com)
