Publication and scope

The call for proposals will be published on the website www.comprar.gob.ar (COMPR.AR) and will be communicated to the embassies or consulates of BCIE partner countries with representation in the Argentine Republic. The expenditure will be charged to the corresponding specific budget line. The measure bears the signature of the National Director, Sebastian Pablo Seoane, and was published in the edition of the Official Gazette of August 14, 2026 (e. 14/08/2026 No. 56882/26).

The call opens a concrete opportunity for technology suppliers, domestic and international: as it is financed by a multilateral loan, it does not commit the agency’s ordinary budget and allows undertaking a comprehensive software development with deadlines and standards defined by BCIE. For citizens, the modernization promises faster and safer immigration procedures, with integrated information and fewer errors in collection management.
