Analysis and Challenges: Administrative Contracts

The occasion of the tenth anniversary of the entry into force of the Public Sector Administrative Contracting Law and its Regulations is a very opportune moment to make a legal-practical feedback between the achievements obtained and the goals for the future of public contracting in Nicaragua. Both regulations have brought about advances that have significantly strengthened transparency in state management, and at the same time have brought about a series of difficulties that may be due to contradictions or gaps in the regulations as well as inconsistencies between their provisions and the practical day-to-day reality. The purpose of this article is to contribute to this feedback process by presenting an analysis of the practical application of these regulations over the last ten years, and by proposing challenges for the future. We will comment on the main regulatory provisions, highlight their successes, discuss their shortcomings and propose aspects that we believe could be taken into account in the event of possible reforms.
