Pursuant to the provisions of Article 7 of Decree No. 111/2022/ND-CP stipulating as follows:
Power to conclude contracts for holding administrative support positions in Vietnam
1. For administrative bodies: heads of administrative bodies that are assigned human resources and funding to act as focal points have power over conclusion of contracts and decision on the number of contracts or are able to decentralize or authorize heads of affiliated agencies and units in writing.
2. For public service providers: Heads of public service providers have power to conclude contracts. If they do not directly conclude contracts, they are able to authorize heads of affiliated units. The authorization must be granted in writing.
Thus, for administrative bodies, it is possible to authorize the signing of contracts to perform support and service work, but for public service providers, when the head of public service providers does not directly sign a contract can authorize the head of the unit under or under it to perform. The authorization must be granted in writing.
