Interested bidders for a operating license may download the technical bases—authorized by Exempt Resolutions No. 108, No. 109, No. 110, and No. 111, all dated January 23, 2026—as well as access the application system and its instruction manual, via the following link to the SCJ’s official website: https://www.scj.gob.cl/lista-de-otorgamiento-de-permisos/.

The technical bases were published for download on Friday, January 30, and will be available until July 23 of this year.
