You obviously do not understand tenders and also have a bad faith in addressing this message towards me (García-Ripoll) and Artur.

First of all, this tender only received one application. There could have been other applicants as it happened in Galicia's quantum computer tender, but there were none.

Second, this application was done by a collective of companies of which Qilimanjaro is only one more participant, responsible for calibration and integration.

Third, my role as scientist in this evaluation was only to certify that the specifications of the tender proposal follow the scientific requirements of the call, and whether any parameter is below or above the requested standards. That is tickboxing essentially and with only one applicant this does not influence the outcome.

So I am asking you to retract these accusations as I am concerned, or follow suit if you have so much evidence of wrongdoing.

YOU obviously don't understand tenders. You can not create your own company inside a public company and then give then money by running a procurement.

1. They knew about the tender before it was public (illegal) 2. Conditions for procurement were adjusted for this company (illegal) 3. Qilimanjaro needs experience and at least 3 contracts of the same nature fullfilled correctly. (Irregular) 4. They did NOT go in UTE (temporary union of companies) and the subcontracting was NOT declared (illegal)

I have more and more points

I have nothing to do with this fight, other than being Spanish myself. But it deeply bores me that it has occurred.

I don't care who is right, truly. What bothers me is that this isn't the appropriate forum, the unbearable idealism of the accusation, the unnecessary defense, the veiled threats, etc.

What really burns me is that we are always like this… Me tuvo que tocar un país de patio de colegio.
