Abstract

This paper demonstrates how the care model promoted by the European Union is gradually being implemented in our country, with public procurement procedures not remaining outside the so-called deinstitutionalization process. The award of care service contracts based on the best quality-price ratio presents several challenges, especially regarding the definition and assessment of qualitative criteria. Consequently, the objective of this article is to formulate a series of recommendations aimed at ensuring that the application of this new care model does not undermine the legal validity of the contracting authority’s actions. These recommendations are derived, in part, from the analysis of the recent Resolution No. 343/2025 of the Central Administrative Court for Contractual Appeals.
