A contract worth 50 million has been awarded for 18 attention centers for women victims of gender violence in Madrid
The Administrative Court for Public Procurement has ordered the City Council of the capital to restart a project that was supposed to be ready next January.
The Madrid Administrative Court of Public Procurement has annulled a 50.7 million euro contract awarded by the Madrid City Council to manage 18 centers for women victims of gender violence. The court's decision, dated October 8, was made after workers' unions filed a complaint against the bidding terms, citing concerns that the new model would undermine the service.
The court deemed several clauses related to the right to strike and staff restrictions as illegal, and the City Council will have to launch a new bidding process. Fourteen companies had already submitted offers for the original contract, which aimed to have the centers operational by January.
