📋 Tender Overview
Basic School No. 04 in the Remansito neighborhood of Ciudad del Este will soon begin its comprehensive repair and expansion works. The project was summarized by its director, Alicia Benitez Martinez, with a forceful reflection: Today we build walls, tomorrow together we will build the future of San Francisco de Asis. The building intervention seeks to eliminate historical structural deficiencies after more than seven years of management. The improvements will directly benefit an enrollment of 650 students, from the initial level to the third cycle. These actions are part of the national program Weaving Support for Educational Excellence (TAPE), promoted by the Government of Paraguay through the Ministry of Public Works and Communications (MOPC) and the Ministry of Education and Sciences (MEC). At the departmental level, the institution is part of the priority package of 17 schools in Alto Parana corresponding to Group 1 of Call No. 90/2025 for the Hiring of Companies for the Construction, Repair and Maintenance of School Premises to be Enhanced (LEAP). The project includes fewer leaks on rainy days, more classrooms so that no child is left without a bench and adequate bathrooms. This will immediately translate into less absenteeism, better health, greater security and a better desire to attend and learn on the part of the students, Benitez explained. The teacher also highlighted the inclusion of ramps and toilets adapted for students with disabilities. Field tasks will begin within a month and will be executed through a strict contingency plan. The scheme includes the use of mobile classrooms on site to avoid the transfer of children outside their neighborhood. The global project requires an investment of G. 44,655,704,803, financed by the World Bank, under the BIRF Loan Contract 9517-PY and approved by Law No. 7433/2025. The works are in charge of the RE Civil Consortium, made up of Benito Roggio e Hijos S.A. and Constructora ECO S.A., under the supervision of the MOPC technical teams. Date: June 17, 2026
