The General Directorate of Public Procurement (DGCP) reported this Thursday that, during the year 2025, it managed to safeguard more than RD$6,500 million of public assets through its control, prevention, and supervision mechanisms of the National Public Procurement System (SNCP).
As part of these oversight actions, the institution annulled and redirected procurement processes that presented irregularities for an amount exceeding RD$984.4 million and, in its capacity as the governing body of the SNCP, issued 190 resolutions within the framework of investigations and administrative claims. Of that total, 26 decisions ordered the annulment of administrative acts, after verifying non-compliance with due process and violations of the current regulatory framework.
Specifically, as a result of these corrective actions, the DGCP reported that nine (9) procurement procedures were annulled, for an amount exceeding RD$984,438,624.00, which obliged the contracting institutions to carry out new processes in accordance with the law, guaranteeing legality, transparency and equal opportunities in access to the public market.
In addition to these actions are the results of preventive monitoring, through which the DGCP intervened in a timely manner before irregularities materialized, achieving the cancellation of 78 procurement processes, for an amount of RD$4,950,104,596.46, as well as the suspension of seven (7) processes, for an additional amount of RD$659,131,921.87.
In total, these preventive interventions allowed to redirect processes for a total amount of RD$6,593,675,142.33, strengthening the efficient and transparent use of public resources and reducing risks of damage to the treasury.

In addition, the DGCP was successful before the contentious-administrative jurisdiction, as 67 out of 84 decisions were confirmed in the competent courts, which shows that the actions of the governing body are carried out in strict adherence to the Constitution, the law and the guarantees of due process.
In line with this comprehensive control and prevention work, during the year 2025 the DGCP issued 35 disqualification decisions from the State Suppliers Registry (RPE), including temporary disqualifications for contractual breaches and permanent disqualifications for the presentation of false or adulterated documents.
In addition to these, there is the cancellation and official suspension of 91 records of suppliers of natural and legal persons convicted or prosecuted for corruption offenses. Likewise, 39 for being within the disqualification regime provided for in current regulations.

Parallel to this, the DGCP provided over 100 technical assistances and information supplies to the Public Ministry and different control bodies of the State, contributing to the strengthening of ongoing investigations and judicial processes.
“Our actions are not limited to correcting irregularities that have already occurred, but are increasingly focused on prevention and timely monitoring. The fact that our decisions have been upheld by the courts reaffirms that we are acting in accordance with the Constitution, the law, and due process, effectively protecting public resources,” said the General Director of Public Procurement, Carlos Pimentel.
