In point 13.2.8_Procedures adopted with regard to the
acquisition of goods and services, it is mentioned the
procedures adopted with regard to the acquisition of
goods and services that incorporate the guidelines
stipulated in Order no. 438/2010 – SETF, of 10 May,
transmitted by means of Official Circular no. 6132, of
6 August 2010.
The pre-contractual procedures to which the Group is
bound by legal or regulatory requirements have been
adopted for the contracting of works contracts and the
acquisition of goods and services.
According to the purpose and/or value of the contract-
ing in question (national and international) tenders are
issued or diverse entities are consulted, in compliance
with the applicable norms and ensuring competition
and transparency in such contracting.
In exceptional cases, duly justified under the terms of
the applicable norms, only one entity is consulted, in
situations in which there are no alternatives, keeping
in mind the specific particularities of the object that is
to be contracted for or considering the need for the
occasional acquisition of special and technically com-
plex equipment or systems that need to be compatible
with other equipment and systems that have been
acquired in the past.
It must be noted that under the terms of the Code
for Public Contracts, which stipulates the diverse pre-
contract procedures to be adopted, ANA, S.A.
contracting is carried out by means of an electronic
platform. Currently, at ANA, S.A. all categories of
goods, services and works contracts can be transacted
on the electronic platform.
This instrument was made available to the companies
in the Group, ANAM, S.A. and Portway, S.A. for some
purchase categories, in conformity with the Public
Contracts Code and Directive 2005/18/CE, applied to
the traditional sectors.

cedures adopted for the acquisition of goods and ser-
vices, we also point out that, in 2010, ANA, S.A. joined
the National Public Procurement System. This system
offers full transparency and openness in such
processes. The company makes use of this system,
whenever it is advantageous to do so, in terms of the
provisioning of goods and services.
