The Superior Court of Electoral Justice (TSJE) awarded for G. 10,624 million the Call for Tenders 405,439 called “Hiring of Printing Services in the Framework of the National and Departmental Elections – Pluriannual 2022/2023”. For this tender, offers began to be received on Tuesday, April 26, 2022.
In the tender that is within the category “Technical Services” and eight companies were benefited. The procedure implemented to carry out the call for bids was a National Public Bidding (LPN).
STRIKING ASPECTS
One of the striking aspects is that in 2017, the Electoral Justice made a call for impressions for G. 19 billion. This occurred, as now, in the months before the presidential elections. The amount is almost double the current call. We communicated with Olavo Heikel, director of communications of the TSJE to have more details about this difference in amounts. He referred us to Christian Gamarra, director of political financing. This in turn, replied that he does not handle the issue. We tried to communicate with the director of the TSJE’s Procurement Operations Unit, but we were unable to find him through the low line either.
Compared to the last similar call, there were five companies that were awarded again. These are Frigon SA, Servipress, Graphic Arts Zamphiropolos SA, Agr. SA Graphic Services and Just in Time.
