Explanation:
En contraposición a los convenios y a las encomiendas de gestión interadministrativa (art. 11 LRJSP), que son sistemas de cooperación horizontal (art. 31.1.b) LCSP), la utilización de medios propios personificados (también denominado contratación “in house providing” o contratación doméstica) permite que el encargo pueda tener por objeto prestaciones propias de los contratos que la LCSP regula:

This legal definition makes it clear that the contracted party is controlled by the public sector entity but has its own corporate structure ("personificado") and can therefore be considered as an "in-house" service provider. There is no private sector involvement.

medio propio personificado
Adm. Condición que cabe atribuir, respecto de una entidad concreta del sector público, a una persona jurídica pública o privada que esté controlada por aquella, que disponga de medios personales y materiales adecuados para cumplir el encargo que se le haga, que haya recabado autorización de la entidad de la que dependa, que no tenga participación de una empresa privada y que no pueda realizar libremente en el mercado más de un 20% de su actividad.

Entrustment of management tasks to (the) “own resources”


Explanation:
This is Spanish administrative legalese, no wonder that you could not find anything about it. This type of obscure “language” is even difficult to grasp for Spanish civil servants themselves.

Suggested translation: Entrustment of management tasks to (the) “own resources”. To understand the meaning what is meant by “own resources”, please read this first reference underneath.

“Medios propios” should be written in quotation marks, since it is actually used in a figurative way (again, most Spanish “funcionarios” do not know what is meant by this cryptic expression).

https://repositorio.gobiernolocal.es/xmlui/bitstream/handle/...
Encomiendas de gestión, encargos y convenios en la Ley 40/2015, de 1 de octubre, de Régimen Jurídico del Sector Público*

Entrustment of management tasks, entrustment of management tasks to the “own resources” and administrative agreements in Law 40/2015, of 1 October, of the legal framework of the Public Sector Abstract

commissioning of own resources


Explanation:
Los encargos a medios propios es la fórmula a través de la cual las administraciones públicas, entre otros, pueden encargar la ejecución de las prestaciones propias de los contratos de obras, suministros, servicios, concesión de obras y concesión de servicios a otra persona jurídica diferente a ellos, siempre que esta tenga la calificación jurídica de medio propio personificado respecto de ellas.

(public-sector) internally funded projects outsourced on subcontract


Explanation:
The first weblink suggests this is insourcing, but the first Discussion Entry points to an outsourcing, directly rather than independently subcontracted scenario.



Example sentence(s):
  • Direct subcontractor means a person who has entered into an agreement with a contractor to provide services or perform work required pursuant to a contract with a city agency.
  • no resulta aceptable que los ***medios propios*** utilizados en virtud de esta autoprovisión tenga(n) que recurrir *a la subcontratación de la mayor parte de la obra encargada* para cumplir la Encomienda de Gestión

direct contracting/commissioning


Explanation:
https://www.gobierto.es/blog/medio-propio-personificado#:~:t...

My previous suggestion of "in-house" referred to the decision to award contracts not to their execution, but could have been misunderstood, so I think this is clearer. It means that a public body can award contracts to other public/approved bodies without having to go through a tendering process.

self-resourced service providers


Explanation:
Here's the document Timothy is translating, or one very like it:

http://sedeelectronica.baztan.eus/transparencia/informacion-...

It's a list of a local council's collaboration agreements with other bodies.

The last line says:
Encargos
Declaración de la sociedad ANIMSA como ente instrumental.

If you click on the declaration, it says that ANIMSA is a publicly owned company established to provide IT services to local councils.

I suggest 'self-resourced' to mean that the company uses its own resources to provide the services. 'Self-funded' or 'independent' might be good approximations too.

Encargo literally means 'order'
https://www.ingles.com/traductor/encargo
Here, it means a role contracted out to a service provider.

disagree  Toni Castano: "Encargos" does not mean "providers". This is about "encargos", not "encargados".
