Santiago, October 22, 2025 — Chile’s Fiscalía Nacional Económica (FNE) has recommended that waste management collective system ReSimple make additional adjustments to proposed modifications to its tender rules to safeguard fair competition and prevent the exchange of commercially sensitive information.
The FNE presented its position during a public hearing before the Tribunal de Defensa de la Libre Competencia (TDLC), as part of the non-contentious proceeding, initiated by ReSimple to seek approval of changes to the tender rules previously cleared.
While ReSimple incorporated most of the competition authority’s earlier recommendations, FNE Antitrust Division Coordinator Alejandro Domic told the tribunal that further amendments were still necessary to adequately protect competition.
Competition Safeguards
The FNE stressed that a well-designed tender framework is essential to mitigate competition risks, noting that ReSimple is the country’s main collective waste management system for packaging, both by the number of members and the volume of materials processed.
The agency warned that the proposed modifications could allow ReSimple to access confidential commercial information from bidders or introduce unnecessary restrictions that might discourage participation in the tender process.
