Procedural Background

The call had already been disclosed in La Gaceta No. 172 on September 11, 2026, page 145, with reference IN202601126086, where the receipt of bids was initially set for October 2, 2026, and the site visit for September 25, 2026. The new notice moves the receipt to October 9 and schedules the visit for October 25, without modifying the contractual object or the planned group of works.

The publication also recalls that the procedure is governed by the public procurement rules applicable to the administrative boards of educational centers; therefore, interested companies must submit their bids within the indicated timeframe and at the location designated for the opening ceremony.

The tender is important to local readers because it defines the schedule for executing the expansion of the Liceo Rural Jak Ksari, which includes new classrooms, a library, a dining hall, and sanitary facilities, in addition to an extensive package of complementary works. Construction companies and local suppliers have until October 9, 2026, to submit bids, and the public opening on that same day will reveal how many bidders are competing for the project.
