Purchasing portal

The Purchasing Portal is the internet platform that Aeroporti di Roma S.p.A (ADR) uses for tenders for contracts for goods, services and works below the community thresholds.

The use of e-procurement systems is now widely established and encouraged by the laws in force in terms of contracts.

The "Code of Contracts" (D.Lgs 163/2006), introduced by directives 2004/17/CE and 2004/18/CE, give the new technologies a fundamental role in supporting new institutes developed by the Directives and the traditional procedures at the choice of the contractor.

Other than the opportunity offered by the legal context, the adoption by ADR of a Purchasing Portal (within which it is possible to enter a List of Suppliers) greatly ensures the principles of economy, efficacy, time saving, honesty, free competition, equality of treatment, non discrimination, transparency, and proportionality.

The use of the Portal in the choice of contractors ensures suppliers concrete advantages including:

• transparency and equal opportunity of award in the procedures chosen by the contractor: all suppliers invited to a negotiation have the same information and share the same "rules" of tender;
• reduction of the time necessary for the preparation and sending of offers: interface guides the process;
• increase in efficiency and efficacy in interaction with ADR: thanks to the automation and standardisation of the communication protocols that speed up the processes;
• regard for the privacy requisites, authenticity and integrity in the exchange of data.

The procedures chosen by the contractor in the ADR Portal will be carried out in respect of the relevant laws in force and the "Public transparency regulations for the award of contracts for amounts less than the community threshold".
