Evaluation weights describe the tender, without confirming an award. Photo: Gift Card News; source: Mercado Público / Municipalidad de Independencia Chile's [Municipalidad de Independencia](https://giftcard.news/organization/municipalidad-de-independencia/) has sought 700 gift cards for vulnerable residents to buy food, cleaning products and personal-hygiene items. Tender 584264-40-LE26 was published on September 22 through Mercado Público. [\[S01\]](#article-source-1) Each requested card has a nominal value of CLP50,000, giving the original 700-card requirement CLP35 million of base spending value. The intended recipients include households experiencing socioeconomic hardship or social emergencies. The subsequent award adds a supplier-funded bonus to each card. [\[S01\]](#article-source-1)[\[S02\]](#article-source-2) The competition places substantial weight on how much usable value and acceptance a supplier can provide. Bonuses per card carry 40% of the evaluation score and coverage accounts for 30%. Delivery time represents another 10%; other criteria address contractual performance, formal requirements and supplier characteristics.

The later October 16 award decree selects Sociedad de Confecciones Cler Limitada for CLP35 million, exempt from VAT, and specifies CLP50,000 plus a CLP3,000 bonus on each of the 700 cards. The competing offer was declared inadmissible because it omitted the required institutional artwork.
