The purpose of this work is to define and specify the meaning of the term transparency applied to public procurement and to clear the doubts posed by the system of sources with an impact on the subject (the law of public sector contracts, the transparency legislation of 2013 and common administrative procedure law), proposing an integrated interpretation of it.
The concept of transparency in the field of public procurement came from its configuration in the law of the European Union as an abstract principle that benefits good governance and citizen participation, and which aims to achieve the single market. But its internal expression in several norms with the rank of law requires clarification of the obligations that it entails and its control regime, avoiding confusion of normative articulation.
