El Principio de Neutralidad Tecnológica el Sistema Electrónico de Compras Públicas- Secop II: Seguridad Jurídica y Digital

Abstract

The purpose of this research article is to highlight the importance of the principle of technological neutrality in state contracting activities, specifically in the context of the Colombian public procurement system, known through various platforms such as Secop I, Secop II, and the State Virtual Store. The analysis of this principle is crucial for the functionality of the Secop II application, as it is considered a fundamental element for the efficient management of resources and processes in the virtual realm. To achieve this, generic elements of technology, such as electronic signatures and data messages, provided by the Colombian government, are used. These definitions are framed within a digital interaction environment and are governed by regulatory standards that establish the technical and technological foundations necessary for the execution of electronic contracts. The central issue addressed by this research is the following: How is the principle of technological neutrality applied in the Secop II public procurement system?
