Context
The Central Governing Council (CODICEN) is the highest body of the National Public Education Administration (ANEP) in Uruguay. It is responsible for the general direction and management of public education in the country.
The rule it puts in play
No regulation 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 on the details of the 66 awards made in the last month would be needed to understand the composition of this spending. The comparison with the median of the previous 24 months is an indicator, but it does not explain whether the increase is due to a single large purchase or a generalized increase in contracting.
Who should answer
The Central Governing Council must explain the composition of the US$ 184.3 million spending awarded in the last month.
