Context
The Salto Intendancy is the departmental government of Salto, Uruguay. It is responsible for the administration and development of the department.
The rule it puts in play
No regulations are breached by concentrating spending in one month. What the jump opens 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 on the details of the 5 awards is needed to understand if the spending concentrated in the last month corresponds to an exceptional purchase or a trend. The press mentions a trust fund of $ 60 million, but it is not directly linked to the awards registered in the period.
Who should answer
The Salto Intendancy must explain the reason for the concentration of spending in the last month and the details of the awards.
