R055: Competitive thresholds

[jpmckinney]

Similar to open-contracting/bi.open-contracting.org#121, I need to know competitive thresholds to calculate the indicator.

Ah, spreadsheet says "no" for "Incluir".

[jpmckinney]

Actually, I need to know this for R055.

[Camilamila]

Will ask Sercop!

@Camilamila Any news from SERCOP on what the competitive thresholds are?

[Camilamila]

No, will reach out to SERCOP and get back to you!

In Ecuador the thresholds depend on the procurement category (standardized and not standardized goods and services, works and consulting) and the procurement method. Here is the detail and in xlsx format
Montos-de-contratación-2024_vf.xlsx

In the OCDs dataset there are the following open methods, using tender/procurementMethodDetails:

method	Procurement method details	procurement category	threshold
open	Concurso publico	these methods are exclusive for consulting	> 499452,3
open	Cotización	goods and services	> 66593,64 and < 499452,3
open	Cotización	works	> 499452,3
open	Licitación	goods and services	> 233077,74 and < 998904,6
open	Licitación	works	> 998904,6

There is also Licitacion de Seguros, however this does not have a specific threshold. I will also ask SERCOP for the list of standardized goods and services that are available in Catalogo electrónico.

For R055 the methodology is to raise the flag if the sum of the directly awarded amounts for the same buyer and supplier is higher than the "threshold for open procedures", but there are different thresholds depending on the procurement method. We agreed with @Camilamila that we can use the lower threshold.
