Overview
- International bid LA-05-613-005000999-T-2-2026 was ruled void after evaluators found no offer met all required technical, legal, and financial conditions.
- Two consortia participated: Cosmocolor with partners and Interconecta with Veridos and Giesecke+Devrient, with proposals reported near 3.97 and 4.27 billion pesos.
- Reporting cites disqualifications over a missing signature in a Cosmocolor partner’s paperwork and the Interconecta group adding non‑specified items, while the SRE described the outcome as compliance-driven.
- The award act was sent to the Secretaría Anticorrupción y Buen Gobierno for review before the formal ruling issued on December 26.
- SRE says service at passport offices and consulates will continue as it relaunches a process shaped by stricter security and data‑protection requirements following issues under the 2020 contract.
