Peru’s Midis Tightens Oversight for 2026 School Meals Procurement

The move prioritizes vetted suppliers to protect food safety for more than four million students.

Overview

  • Social Inclusion Minister Lesly Shica Seguil announced reinforced control and supervision measures for the next PAE purchasing cycle following a working meeting with OECE and Perú Compras leaders.
  • OECE will screen bidders through the National Supplier Registry to restrict participation to qualified companies.
  • Midis will conduct on-site inspections at food production centers and apply legal sanctions to providers that fail quality or safety standards.
  • The ministry said it will not accept companies created solely to access PAE contracts, targeting shell or short-lived firms.
  • Perú Compras will provide procurement tools, and Midis will engage Sanipes and industry guilds SNI and SNP, with operational details to be defined ahead of the 2026 acquisitions.
