A company formerly known as ITHG, now operating as UTAM, has won a bid to provide transportation services for ASSE, Uruguay’s public health provider. The contract, which involved competition from taxi services, has sparked criticism from the Broad Front political party. Concerns center around the awarding of the contract during the administration of Leonardo Cipriani, who previously oversaw the public provider. The Broad Front is questioning the circumstances surrounding the selection of UTAM. Supporters of the decision highlight significant cost savings achieved through the contract. Details regarding the specific amount of savings have been reported, but remain a point of contention. The situation is prompting scrutiny of procurement processes within the public health system.
