Abstract: Subcontracting represents the facility granted by law to tenderers to fulfill part of the obligations that are assumed by the public procurement contract or a part of the project, through a third party called “subcontractor†, if the offer will be declared as winner by the contracting authority. In practice, on the one hand, it is noted the tendency of the contracting authorities to meet the subcontractors, which is justified by the desire of the contracting authorities to protect their own interests and which corresponds to a higher degree of transparency; subcontracting is to be recommended to the contracting authorities when the public procurement is carried out on their own establishment or on establishments which they have under surveillance. On the other hand, it is also noted the tendency of the tenderers and subcontractors to circumvent this transparency and to disguise subcontracting in the form of relative simulations of various types, precisely so as not to inform the contracting authorities and so that the tenderers obtain certain benefits. In this respect, some doctrinal opinions, some cases of jurisprudence and comparative law references are relevant. In the light of those mentioned above, we have expressed some proposals de lege ferenda.
