direct contractor
Explanation:
It just means that the subcontracting chain ends there. A direct contractor does the work, it is not further subcontracted out to others.

neutral  bonafide1313: my understanding is that a tenderer always parcitipates in a "gara"?RPLY: I am still very sure that tenderers parcitipate in tenders:)

  -> not necessarily:"tenderer" means more or less "holder".Gara participants are not tenderers: they are AFTER the tenders that gara presents."Tenderer" is the holder of trust-in sum a trustee, hence affidatario.

neutral  Michael Korovkin: thought about d.c. too bt 4 ex:a)I have transportation dept.,& a contractor carries my stuff in his truks.b)I have no trasportation office:all's done by a tenderer's offices who find transportation company as THEIR contractor. T is more plenipotentiary.

agree  bonafide1313: I agree it's a direct contractor, but "affidatario diretto" is additionally also a (capital)related party to "affidante". Does "direct contractor" always imply that it is a "subsidiary" of the principal (appaltatore, affidante)?
1 day 18 hrs
  -> That would be obvious from the context, "contracting company" followed by " direct contractor". One contracts and the other is contracted to do the work (not to sub contract).

in-house provider


Explanation:
"in-house provider" in terms of the awarded provider being an "in - house" structure of the awarding entity (majority owned by the awarding entity)

La Corte di giustizia fissa un importante principio, relativo alla discussa questione del cosiddetto “in house providing”, cioè dell’affidamento diretto e senza gara di un servizio pubblico rientrante nel campo di applicazione della Direttiva 92/50, ad una società di capitali legalmente distinta dall’amministrazione aggiudicatrice, ma da quest’ultima partecipata a maggioranza e soggetta alla sua influenza dominante.

La Corte di giustizia stabilisce quindi che ove il soggetto affidatario diretto del servizio sia partecipato da un privato, ancorché per una quota minoritaria, è categoricamente escluso che possa ritenersi integrata la condizione dell’esistenza nei confronti di tale soggetto di un controllo analogo a quello dell’amministrazione aggiudicatrice sui propri servizi. Dunque, in tal caso, l’affidamento diretto e senza gara del servizio pubblico deve ritenersi illegittimo.
