Following a report in which several points are set out, the Office focuses on examining the presumed irregular performance of a municipal worker who, for a period of time, was awarded a service for a municipal facility and, subsequently, had political responsibilities. During the course of the investigations, employment contracts signed between the worker and the local entity were detected that could be void and must be subject to ex officio review because the selection procedures were not convened in accordance with the principles of equality, merit, capacity and publicity. Regarding the exercise of the person referred to as a service concessionaire, the economic amount was assessed as low, to rule out possible legal consequences, but, nevertheless, the fact was recorded so that, in public tenders for minor contracts, periodic services and recurring acquisitions, specific protocols are established to prevent possible conflicts of interest and the assumptions of prohibitions on contracting are applied. At the same time, the position of municipal technical architect was examined and it was found that it was necessary to convene again, given that the functions related to this professional profile were exercised externally, through a service contract.
