Context
The Faculty of Engineering is an academic unit of the University of the Republic. It is dedicated to the training of engineers and research in various areas of engineering.
The rule it puts in play
No norm is breached by concentrating spending in one month. What the jump opens up 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
Information is needed about the type of contracting procedure used for this month's awards. This would allow an evaluation of whether the concentrated amount corresponds to an exceptional purchase or a recurring practice.
Who should answer
The Faculty of Engineering must explain the contracting procedure used to justify the spending peak.
