Information on the new obligation to hold a credit licence
According to Article 27, Paragraph 1 of Legislative Decree 81/2008, which outlines the new qualification system for companies and self-employed workers operating at temporary or mobile construction sites, Autostrade per l'Italia informs all current and prospective operators that it has updated the Supplier Register. An additional mandatory requirement for qualification is now the possession of a ‘points (or credits) license’ or an equivalent document. This requirement applies to all product categories impacted by the new regulation.
Economic operators who already hold a qualification in the categories impacted by the new Decree will need to update their relevant qualification questionnaires through the portal. This update should specifically confirm their possession of the legally required license.
The Autostrade Group's Register of Suppliers is set up in compliance with the Code of Ethics, the Anti-Bribery Policy and the Public Procurement Code with the aim of making the process of registering economic operators to be involved in public and private tendering procedures more accessible and transparent. The register is managed through the Autostrade Group's Vendor Management Portal based on the provisions contained in the "Autostrade Group's Vendor Register Regulations".
The Register is the same throughout the country and is used by the following companies: Autostrade per l'Italia, Movyon, Ad Moving, Essediesse, Free-To-X, Giove Clear.
Enrolment in the Register is free of charge.
The Register is organised into product categories: ranges of amounts are defined for each product category, on the basis of which each company will be qualified in accordance with the requirements indicated and requested by the Regulation.
