Automatic summary, not yet reviewed

  1. The proposal explains that public administrations increasingly avoid contracting with special employment centers, because they believe such contracts conflict with the Public Sector Contracts Law. According to the text, this discriminates against those centers and goes against Articles 49 and 35 of the Constitution.
  2. Current law gives preference to companies with disabled workers only if they match the best bid, and the text argues this is not enough to guarantee real equality for special employment centers.
  3. The bill would amend the sixth additional provision of the Contracts Law so that administrations could directly hire, with no spending limits, public special employment centers that employ people with special difficulties entering the labor market.

Who it affects

  • Disabled workers employed in special employment centers.: It would make it easier for them to get and keep jobs in the public sector.
  • Contracting public administrations.: They could directly hire public special employment centers with no spending limit.
  • Publicly owned special employment centers that employ people with special difficulties entering the labor market.: They could receive direct awards of public contracts.
