Anticorruption Secretariat Bars Three Suppliers Over Bidding Irregularities

The move extends a broader enforcement drive that has sidelined at least 20 vendors this term.

Overview

  • Asociación Guardería Infantil San Nicolás, Just Implant and CISM were inhabilitated from federal contracting and their penalties were published in Mexico’s Official Gazette on December 22.
  • Guardería Infantil San Nicolás received a 134,664‑peso fine and a six‑month ban after the IMSS internal control office found it submitted false social‑security compliance information during a service contract.
  • Just Implant was fined 577,320 pesos and barred for one year for providing false information in a 2022 procurement for osteosynthesis materials and endoprostheses.
  • CISM was fined 144,330 pesos and banned for three months for failing to formalize two contracts it had been awarded in a national public tender for maintenance services.
  • The three firms were added to the Directory of Sanctioned Suppliers, cannot enter new federal contracts, and may seek injunctions, which the Secretariat says it will contest.
