| Miêu tả: | The objective of this research, in which qualitative and quantitative research methods were used, as well as qualitative methods of analysis, was to determine the causes as to why it was not possible, through Public Tender No. 2014LN-000016-0CV00 MR-I: Routine Maintenance without Specialized Machinery of the National Paved Road Network, to hire only small and medium-sized enterprises(SMEs) for the cleaning of weeds and other waste from the national road network of Costa Rica, as intended by the Chinchilla Miranda administration (2010-2014). The purpose of the spirit of the tender was partially achieved, while large companies, within the framework of legality of the country and taking advantage of its infrastructure, participated in the contest, monopolizing part of the road maintenance contract without specialized machinery of the 22 areas in which the country is composed, for conservation and maintenance purposes. The main causes of this were an institutional framework that did not facilitate the contracting of the SMEs and the tender lost its sponsor in the Executive Branch. With the change of government, the bureaucracy in charge of the final execution of the contract was not motivated to carry out the tender and the micro, small and medium entrepreneurs did not have the knowledge or the adequate infrastructure to participate in the public tender (tender), coupled with their scarce financial resources; in addition, the workers who provide the service directly (laborers) were made invisible from the whole process. |
