BERRIO DE LA PUENTE, Luis Alfredo  y  GUTIERREZ-IBANEZ, Fernando. Influence of the legal instruments of the Agencia Nacional de Contratación Pública - Colombia Compra Eficiente (National Public Procurement Agency - Colombia Efficient Purchase). Rev. Fac. Derecho Cienc. Polit. - Univ. Pontif. Bolivar. [online]. 2020, vol.50, n.133, pp.340-355.  Epub 02-Mar-2021. ISSN 0120-3886.  https://doi.org/10.18566/rfdcp.v50n133.a05.

The Decreto Ley 4170 de 2011 (Law-Decree 4170 of 2011) established, among other functions of the Agencia Nacional de Contratación Pública - Colombia Compra Eficiente, the mandate to build tools aimed at the organization and coordination of the participants of purchase procedures and public procurement, with the aim of achieving higher efficiency, transparency, and optimization of State resources.

While carrying out its functions, the agency has developed legal instruments which elucidate specific and transversal regulatory matters within public procurement; nevertheless, these lack the natural powers of common law rules, which is why this paper analyses the impact of those instruments during public procurement procedures.

Palabras clave : Public procurement; administration; national agency; legal instruments.
