Spanish to English Law/Patents Law: Contract(s) Bid Specifications for a Public Call for Tenders
I’m translating the Bid Specifications for a Public Call for Tenders from El Salvador. This section is talking about the Contractor’s Rights.

I’m a bit thrown by this term, as it’s vague, to say the least. The only thing I can imagine it meaning is, perhaps, communications services, as in leasing DSL lines from the ISPs there... but Google isn’t really confirming that for me.

The only other thing I can think of is signage services, as in office signs (no entry, reception, toilets, etc), but am really not too sure about that one.

CONTEXT:

“4. El concesionario podrá subcontratar únicamente las prestaciones accesorias o complementarias de la prestación del servicio descrito en su oferta, previa autorización por escrito del XXXX.

Se entenderá por prestaciones accesorias o complementarías, aquellas que tienen por objeto asegurar el cumplimiento de las obligaciones principales del contrato, de manera que estas no puedan realizarse sin ellas, tales como: subcontrataciones de instalaciones o locales para el funcionamiento de los centro de servicio, mantenimiento de software y hardware, seguridad o vigilancia física y electrónica, servicios de limpieza de instalaciones, mantenimiento de locales o centros de servicios, servicios de señal, entre otros.”

Any ideas? Many thanks in advance.

James Just seen Victoria's entry! Looks like that could be it - may be broadband transmission service.

OK Better have another think then!

Contract to provide National Identity Cards (NICs) Thanks for your suggestion Kittilina, unfortunately it's nothing to do with FX services. The contract being awarded is to provide services related to the NIC Registration, Issuance and Delivery System.

Many thanks.

Signal services

Apart from the two ideas you have already, this is the only other thing I can think of. Not too sure exactly what your contract bid relates to exactly, but signal services usually have to to with FX services or telecommunications, so may be relevant, maybe not.
