With regard to public services, the Italian legislation
highlights many administrative and technical difficulties
for developing appropriate capitulated of competition
aimed at the achievement of specific objectives,
among which, in presence of vector-transmitted diseases
“Plans to put public health emergencies” management
it is introduced, and it could give back indispensable
to improve the epidemiological surveillance and
entomological, especially in the speed even through the
activation of a pest control service.
Furthermore, in public health facilities, if to the lack of
legislative clarity we add a shortage of trained in a complex
and constantly evolving business sector technicians
and managers, we are aware of the urgency of filling
this “professional vacuum” indispensable for the
standardization of operating procedure for interventions,
planned gradual response to depending on the
level of risk in respect of public health and the environment.
The Legislative Decree on April 12, 2006, n. 163
“Code of contracts related to public works, services
and supplies in implementing Directives 2004/17/CE
and 2004/18/CE”, establishes rules for the proper
application of rules for the award by the government,
procurement whose estimated value of the service,
excluding IVA, is equal to or greater than the equivalent
euro 200.000,00. This amount, however, is rarely
made available to the contracting stations, especially
for disinfection services; so most procurement sector
escapes to the D.Lgs. dictates, with obvious difficulties

in the formulation of notices and application of procedures
for the award.
In this way the contracting station is not only unable to
secure a service whose requirements really match the
quality criteria, but it is not even able to ensure the performance
accuracy and timeliness. In practice, if we
consider the quality as “all service characteristics that
meets requirements customer (expressed or implied)”,
in the current public procurement management services
for the control of communicable diseases from
potential carriers don’t ensure “a priori” the economic
quality and appropriateness of the service to offer.
Indeed, it is important to underline that transparency
and credibility, in the relationship between public and
private are on the subject of contracts, elements of
administrative fairness.
Likewise, the recruitment by Companies as a quality
system, circumscribed and limited to the application of
ISO 9001 (UNI EN 9001), can not constitute guarantee
element of technical-professional capacity of
Companies, but is simply an “organization indicator”,
whose value in the award can not constitute evidence
of preference.
Now, the Community legislature through Directives
2004/17/CE and 2004/18/CE, wanted dictate to the
Member States “guidelines” to be used in the public
services procurement, in order to promote, through an
inner market growth, developing appropriate operational
protocols to document in the race, testifying the
consolidated technical capacity of Company which conferred
the health reclamations provided by the “Plans
to put public health emergencies”. The legislative, regulatory
act which by its nature is capable of directing
the gradual harmonization of national laws giving to
each state full autonomy on the form and means to be
taken. Therefore, if the Community directives objectives
were properly received and interpreted, the regulation
of disinfestation Companies would be more
adapted to the needs of domestic market.
