Chile – Chile to hold hearing on tender for new licences

By - 20 april 2016

As part of the preparation process ahead of the upcoming tender process for the municipal licences the Chilean Gaming Control Board (SJC) will hold a public hearing on Wednesday April 20 in order to respond to questions from those directly concerned.

The news comes after the SCJ published the requirements for the upcoming process via its website last month. According to a statement from head of the Board Daniel Garcia: “Under this new legal framework areas of discretion are reduced when awarding licences, so we hope to achieve objective, transparent processes and ensure greater revenue collection for the treasury, regions and communes,” he said.

The new tender process will be underpinned by the goals of ensuring greater revenue for the government as well as maximum transparency and objectivity when it comes to the granting of the licences. Members of the SJS’s technical team will be on hand to answer questions during the consultation.

Projects will be awarded points and judged on a wide number of different criteria by a number of different branches in the government including local and regional governments, the Tourist Board, the Ministry of Interior and Public Security and the SCJ. Points will be awarded on how the casino will fit in with local communities and into regional development strategy. The SCJ will also evaluate the project on how it will impact tourism, and will take into account the location, design and the quality of the proposed facilities.

The final decision will be made when a representative of the Executive Council of the Board opens the envelopes containing the financial offers of those applicants who have passed the minimum score established by law. The minimum score will be 600 points out of a total of 1,000. The licence will be awarded to the project which has submitted the highest bid.

De zeven nieuwe licenties zijn beschikbaar nadat president Michelle Bachelet nieuwe regelgeving heeft ondertekend, waardoor de licenties van de zeven gemeentelijke casino's worden uitgebreid. De nieuwe regels verlengen de licenties tot december 2017 in de districten Vina del Mar, Arica, Iquique, Puerto Varas, Coquimbo, Pucon en Puerto Natales, die allemaal op 31 december 2015 zijn verlopen. Zodra deze licenties verlopen, bepaalt de wet dat vanaf dat moment Vanaf dat moment zullen deze gemeenten in totaal drie perioden van telkens vijftien jaar de thuisbasis van een casino blijven en zullen de nieuwe casino's onder toezicht van de SJC komen te staan.
