Spanish term
subcontrata
En los casos bien definidos de obras y servicios de X, podemos, dejando el mes, contratar a subcontratados mediante contratos por obra y servicio (se da por hecho que nos referimos a obras diferentes entre X y la subcontrata).
This text is about contracts and the rights of company X to employ people who have worked at X previously through a recruitment agency or on a temporary contract.
I don't understand what is meant by "subcontrata" above.
Do they mean the subcontract itself, or the subcontractor / subcontracting company (subcontratista) or the person subcontracted to do the work (subcontradado)? Obviously, it doesn't say subcontratado or subcontratista but there are mistakes throughout this text!
Thanks in advance for any help!

subcontractor / subcontracted party
Since you point out, there are mistakes. This appears to be one of them.
"...entre X y la subcontrata" = between X [a company] and the subcontractor/subcontracted party

Comment: "Thank you Marcelo and everyone for your help. After the various answers given to my query, I took it back to the agency, who confirmed that this was one of many mistakes in the text, and that the author meant subcontratista - contractor."
