Civil Registry tenders technical inspection of its Pozo Almonte office

The Civil Registry and Identification Service of Tarapacá has issued a public tender to contract technical work inspection consultancy services for the replacement project of its office in Pozo Almonte. The call, identified by ID No. 2591-172-LE26, was published in the Official Gazette of the Republic of Chile on Monday, September 28, 2026, under official reference CVE 2876939, and sets the deadline for the receipt of bids for October 12, 2026, at 3:00 PM.

The notice appears in Section IV of the bulletin, dedicated to tenders, competitions, summons, and lost documents, and bears the signature of the Ministry of Justice and Human Rights, upon which the convening service depends. This is a contract for technical consultancy, not for the execution of the work, meaning the interested parties are consultancies and professionals qualified for the technical inspection of construction projects.

Regional Financing and Contracting Modality

The process is financed by the National Fund for Regional Development (FNDR) - Traditional of the Tarapacá Regional Government, which links the replacement of the office to regional investment resources rather than the service’s current budget.

• Financing: FNDR - Traditional of the Tarapacá Regional Government.

Submission of Bids and Possible Changes

Bids may only be submitted through the portal www.mercadopublico.cl, as specified in the notice, which thus rules out in-person submission or other channels.

The document further warns that the indicated dates are subject to modification via clarification, which will be published in the attachments of the tender file. That is, the final calendar is subject to what is published in that electronic file, so interested parties must review it before preparing their documentation.

The replacement of the Pozo Almonte office aims to improve service delivery in the Tamarugal province, one of the areas furthest from regional administrative centers. For construction companies, consultancies, and technical work inspection professionals in Tarapacá, the call for bids represents a concrete work opportunity in the second semester, with tight deadlines: only a few days remain to submit questions and less than two weeks to present the offer.
