June 6, 2019.- The Financial Market Commission (CMF) informs that it will start a new consultancy hiring process for the design and implementation of the so-called Phase II, of administrative integration, after the incorporation of the Superintendence of Banks and Financial Institutions (SBIF) to the CMF on June 1.
As a reminder, the procurement process started with the market consultation carried out by the Commission at the beginning of this year – in January and February – and continued in April with a call for public tender which closed on May 14, 2019 with the submission of four bids.

However, given the urgent need to hire the consultancy, the following procedure was defined in accordance with article 10, number 7, letter L), of the Public Procurement Law. This procedure aims to raise the standard, safeguard efficiency, transparency, publicity, equality, and arbitrary non-discrimination for the hiring of a consultancy firm that strictly attends the same requirements and conditions established in the bidding.
