The technical bases were published for download on Friday, January 30, and will be available until July 23 of this year.
According to the SJC this marks the start of the phase for preparing Technical and Economic Offers by those interested in applying for the operating licenses, in accordance with the technical bases, for which they have a period of 120 business days until the submission of these offers at the Technical and Economic Offer Presentation Hearing, which is scheduled for July 24, at 10:00 a.m., at the offices of the Superintendence of Gaming Casinos in Santiago.
