The Rubén Darío National Theatre tenders the improvement of its perimeter security

The Rubén Darío National Theater called for Public Tender No. 001-2026 to execute the works for the “Improvement of the perimeter security of the Rubén Darío National Theater,” as stated in the call published in La Gaceta, Official Gazette No. 209 of Friday, November 13, 2026 (Reg. 2026-01105). The awarding entity operates under the selective bidding modality, supported by the Administrative Initiation Resolution No. DG-TNRD-LP-001-2026, issued by the Highest Authority on November 10, 2026. Bids will be received until 10:00 AM on Friday, November 27, and will be opened five minutes later.

Legal Framework and Financing

The procedure is based on Law No. 1238, “State Administrative Procurement Law,” and Decree No. 07-2025, the “General Regulation” of said law. The contracting of the works is financed with funds from the National Treasury. The call is addressed to natural or legal persons registered in the Providers Registry managed by the General Directorate of State Procurement of the Ministry of Finance and Public Credit.

The physical scope is precisely delimited: the works must be executed in the exterior area of the theater’s main building, within a period of one hundred and twenty (120) calendar days starting from the signing of the corresponding contract.

Calendar and Requirements for Bidders

The bidding terms and conditions may be obtained in Spanish at the Single Procurement Portal (www.nicaraguacompra.gob.ni). Those who require a physical copy must request it at the theater’s Treasury Unit, with a non-refundable payment of C$ 300.00 net córdobas. The key dates are:

• November 16, 2026, from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM: delivery of the physical bidding documents at the Treasury Unit.
• November 17, 2026, 9:00 AM: visit to the site of execution of the works, which is mandatory and a requirement to submit a bid.
• November 17, 2026, 10:00 AM: harmonization meeting to discuss the bidding documents, in the lobby of the theater’s Main Hall.
• November 27, 2026, 10:00 AM: deadline for the submission of bids in the lobby of the Main Hall.
• November 27, 2026, 10:05 AM: opening of bids before the representatives designated by the entity, the bidders or their legal representatives, and any interested party.

Guarantees, Currency, and Bid Conditions

The bid must be submitted in the Spanish language and express prices in national currency. It must include a bid bond equivalent to two percent (2%) of the total value of the bid, taxes included. Bids delivered after the designated time will be declared late and returned unopened; none may be withdrawn, modified, or corrected once the deadline has expired, under penalty of execution of the bond, pursuant to Article 67 of Law No. 1238 and Article 61, literal m, of Decree No. 07-2025.

The call for bids is signed by Francisco Ramón Rodríguez Sobalvarro, Managing Director of the Rubén Darío National Theater, and is published on page 11670 of the bulletin, within the Summary of Section I.

Impact for the construction sector

The call is of direct interest to construction companies and contractors registered in the Providers Registry, who have less than two weeks to collect the bidding documents, attend the mandatory visit, and prepare the 2% bond. Since this is a project funded with resources from the National Treasury and executed in a functioning heritage and cultural property, the process requires strict compliance with the schedule and the conditions of the bidding documents, the failure of which disqualifies the bid.
