Paraguay – Rejected bidders to take board to court over sports betting tender
By James - 5 Aralık 2022
The consortium made up of B-Gaming Paraguay and Gambling S.A, which was disqualified from the latest sports betting tender, announced that it would take the matter to court after the National Gaming Commission (Conajzar) awarded the single sports betting license to Daruma Sam (Apostala).
B-Gaming Paraguay and Gambling S.A. expressed their absolute rejection of the board’s decision saying that they would use all means at their disposal to reverse it.
The consortium had already filed a reconsideration appeal with Conajzar. In its proposal, the company stated that its offer should stand as it was in accordance with articles 1196 and 1199 of the constitution, for which reason the financial capacity and experience of the parent company should be recognized. However, Conajzar limited itself to referring to the terms and conditions, which only allowed for local companies with the financial capacity and specific experience in the local gambling market to take part.
Toplam altı şirket İhale Hüküm ve Koşullarını talep etti, ancak yalnızca üçü tekliflerini sundu. Tekliflerin resmi açılışı Conajzar genel merkezinde gerçekleşti.
The three companies that submitted bids were Daruma Sam S.A. (Apostala); the consortium B-Gaming Sucursal Paraguay and Gambling S.A. and a company owned by Luis Carlos Alder Benítez (under the name Playtech), whose legal representative is former Foreign Minister Rubén Melgarejo Lanzoni.
Ekonomik teklifler söz konusu olduğunda Daruma Sam SA %22'lik bir kanon teklif ederken, BGaming – Gambling SA konsorsiyumu %27 ve Playtech %23'lük bir teklif sundu.
When it came to the companies that did not meet the requirements Conajzar specified on a point by point basis why they were not awarded the contract. B-Gaming Sucursal Paraguay and Gambling S.A were disqualified due to lack of “legal, financial and experience,” the board said.
The financial part of the tender is only one aspect of the process as experience in the area was also taken into account. One of the criticisms aimed at the tender was that the process had within it a “catch 22” type clause whereby only a national company with experience in the field would be allowed to operate. Since there is only one the current licence holder this would disqualify other companies from competing.
Yerel şirket Daruma Sam'e, sonuncusundan önce spor bahisleri sunma münhasır hakkı verildi FIFA Dünya Kupası beş yıldır. Eylül ayında Conajzar, 01/2022 sayılı Kamu İhalesi çağrısını açarak sonraki beş ihaleye ilişkin süreci başlattı.
