The paradox is that the tender is halted not by a technical problem, but by the withdrawal of funding for a service that the Executive has had to extend to avoid a protection gap.<\/p>\n<h2>The tribunal returned the contract to Telef\u00f3nica before the suspension<\/h2>\n<p>The paralysis comes after several twists in the award process. The Central Administrative Court of Contractual Appeals first annulled the award to a temporary union of companies formed by Orange, TRC, and Mnemo after upholding an appeal by Telef\u00f3nica for non-compliance with equality plan requirements.<\/p>\n<p>Later, the Contracting Board excluded Telef\u00f3nica again. The operator filed a new appeal, and the same tribunal ruled in its favor again, with a resolution ordering its reinstatement as the awardee of the lot.<\/p>\n<p>With that background, the file had been channeled legally, but not economically. The suspension now agreed by the Contracting Board puts the formalization of the contract on hold until sufficient credit is available again.<\/p>\n<h2>The Government extended the service to avoid a protection gap<\/h2>\n<p>Given this scenario, the Executive approved a temporary extension of the cybersecurity services already provided by Telef\u00f3nica and Indra through a negotiated procedure. The measure seeks to maintain coverage while the main tender remains blocked.<\/p>\n<p>The suspended tender is part of CORA III, a contract of 340 million euros designed to concentrate telecommunications and communications services of the General State Administration and dozens of public&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.apd.cat\/en\/data-protection\/the-executive-resorts-to-cybersecurity-extensions-after-halting-the-tender-that-was-to-protect-85-organizations-due-to-lack-of-budget_14460_102.html\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Executive resorts to cybersecurity extensions after halting the tender that was to protect 85&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[15],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-262751","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-cybersecurity"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/262751"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=262751"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/262751\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=262751"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=262751"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=262751"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
