Overview

  • The Boletín Oficial published Disposición 29/2025 on August 11, creating the “Privatizaciones Leyes Nros. 27.742 y 23.696” module within the CONTRAT.AR platform
  • Under Anexo I, the ONC requires external users to register with standardized Administrador Legitimado acts and sworn statements on contracting capacity, eligibility and beneficial ownership

  • The digital system will manage electronic tenders and public contests for asset sales, share placements, facility transfers, concessions, licenses and permissions for eight state companies
  • The Agencia de Transformación de Empresas Públicas and other agencies will deploy the module to advance valuations and bidding steps in line with fiscal targets and an IMF roadmap due later this year
