Resumen
Con motivo de la aprobación por las Cortes de la Ley de Contratos del Sector Público, se pretende analizar en este trabajo hasta dónde se ha llegado en la aplicación del Derecho administrativo a la actividad de contratación del sector público; en concreto, cuál es el papel del Derecho administrativo en la regulación del fondo de los contratos públicos, sobre el que la nueva Ley mantiene una línea plenamente continuista, y cómo la extensión de los procedimientos reglados de selección de contratistas se ha conseguido a costa de incrementar la flexibilidad y la discrecionalidad en su aplicación. Se estudian, además, las claves sobre las que se ha construido la nueva Ley, con especial atención a su ámbito subjetivo de
aplicación, para terminar analizando el nuevo recurso especial en materia de contratación.

Abstract
The law on public-sector contracts has recently been approved by parliament. This article
analyses how far it has gone in applying administrative law to the activity of public-sector
contracts. Specifically, it looks into the role of administrative law in regulating the bases of
public contracts, an area in which the new law continues along the same lines as the
previous legislation. It also considers how regulated procedures for selection of contractors
have been extended at the cost of increasing the flexibility and discretionality of their
application. It studies the keys to the new law, with special attention to its subjective scope
of application and finally analyses the new special appeal mechanism regarding contracts.
