Municipalidad de Doñihue opened a gift-card procurement with an estimated budget of CLP 42,145,093 on September 23, seeking to deliver student assistance through spending choices rather than a fixed package of supplies. The Chilean municipality’s education unit said the cards would support pupils covered by its 2026 school-retention programme. [S01]
The official record describes the objective as helping students remain in education and complete their schooling, while allowing each recipient to decide which material needs to address. It does not establish that the cards have been delivered or that retention outcomes have improved. [S01]
The evaluation assigns 40% of the score to price and 30% to supplier experience. Distance from the municipality to the place where cards can be used accounts for 20%, with formal requirements making up the remaining 10%. These criteria put both supplier capacity and practical access to redemption into the purchase decision. The experience scale refers to cards previously supplied, not the number being bought in this tender. [S01]
