Context
The Montevideo Police Department is the agency responsible for public security in the department of Montevideo.
The rule it puts in play
No regulation is breached by concentrating spending in one month. What the jump raises is a question about the chosen procedure: the amount of the contract determines which procedure is appropriate, and an atypical month usually contains the largest purchase of the year.
What is missing to say more
It cannot be determined whether the spending concentrated in one month responds to a specific need or a contracting strategy. It is also not possible to know if the appropriate purchasing procedure was chosen for the awarded amount.
Who should answer
The Montevideo Police Department must explain the contracting procedure used and the justification for the spending concentrated in the last month.
