ISFAS tenders healthcare assistance for its mutualists for the year 2027

The Social Institute of the Armed Forces (ISFAS) has opened the bidding process for the agreement that will ensure the provision of healthcare within the national territory for its holders and other beneficiaries during 2027. The announcement, issued by the Ministry of Defense, is published in the Official State Gazette on Monday, October 5, 2026, and sets the deadline for the receipt of bids as 23:59 hours on October 25, 2026. The case file is 2026/IS092/00000259E and the official reference of the announcement is BOE-B-2026-32225.

The contract is processed via an accelerated open procedure, and its purpose is to ensure the healthcare of mutualists who choose to receive it through insurance entities rather than the public network. The contracting authority is ISFAS itself, with NIF Q2861003H, address at calle Huesca 31 in Madrid, and NUTS code ES300, which coincides with the main place of execution. The announcement was signed in Madrid on September 30, 2026, by the Head of the Contracting Body, Luis Carlos Ayala Olivares.

The published announcement does not detail the bidding amount or the estimated value of the agreement; therefore, the economic amount of the contract does not appear in the official text disseminated by the Official State Gazette.

Procedure and deadlines

ISFAS justifies the accelerated nature of the procedure on the grounds that the current healthcare agreement ends on December 31, 2026, and that, until recent dates, the organization was unaware of the budget availability for healthcare for 2027. This circumstance compresses the administrative calendar.

• Procedure type: accelerated open.
• Deadline for submission of bids or requests to participate: until 23:59 hours on October 25, 2026.
• Date of signing of the announcement: September 30, 2026.

Background of the agreement

The ISFAS agreement system is based on Article 14 of the revised text of the Law on Social Security for the Armed Forces, approved by Royal Legislative Decree 1/2000, of June 9, and Article 61 of its General Regulation, approved by Royal Decree 1726/2007, of December 21. The concerted collaboration with Military Health is regulated by Ministerial Order 52/2004, of March 18, and there is also an agreement with the National Social Security Institute (INSS) for those who opt for public health services.

The immediately preceding agreement, corresponding to the years 2025 and 2026, was published via Resolution 4B0/38060/2025, of February 19, with reference BOE-A-2025-3596, and was signed with ASISA and Segurcaixa Adeslas. Its tender had been announced on October 18, 2024, under reference BOE-B-2024-37393 and file 2024/IS092/00000400E, also through an accelerated open procedure and with the same budgetary argument.

Impact for mutualists

The agreement determines which insurance companies provide care to the holders and beneficiaries of ISFAS who choose an insurance entity, a group that includes military and Administration personnel entitled to health coverage under the Special Social Security Regime for the Armed Forces. The resolution publishing the signed agreements will subsequently establish the awarded entities and the annual period during which mutualists may change their care modality, as occurred in previous calls. Until then, the schedule is tight: barely twenty days separate the publication of the announcement and the closing of the bidding period.
