Mercado Público and your company

The agency runs the tender. Your company runs its participation.

Mercado Público provides search, recommendations, bidding and tracking of official actions. Masnet connects demand to your company’s catalog and criteria, and links market review to internal decisions, owners, documents and commitments. This management supports its own control and governance.

Evaluate Masnet through the work you need to do

Discover and evaluate an opportunity

Start with filters and Predictivas. Open the lines, read the terms and ask KIM questions. Check the references before deciding.

Coordinate and prepare a bid

Record the decision, assign tasks and request specific approvals. Reuse products and files, review prices and signatures, and submit through the extension and your valid session.

Maintain follow-up after an award

Review the result and its evidence. Link the contract and purchase orders, record milestones and obligations, and track guarantees and expiry dates.

Stages, modules and features: how they relate

The five stages describe work, not five modules. Tenders brings together search, participation and Ofertar (bid preparation). Drive, Portfolio, KIM, Guarantees and Contracts provide specialized areas, while Calendar and Reminders help track dates.

For example: Portfolio is a module, Product catalog is a submodule, and editing a product or simulating its price are features.

Cross-cutting tool

Across stages · Portfolio

Portfolio and catalog

What do we sell, to whom, and who is responsible for each line?

Your company’s catalog is the basis of Predictivas and of the line-by-line bid. The portfolio adds the agencies that buy from you and the business lines with their members.

What it does

  • Catalog with internal code, brand, attributes, UNSPSC category and regions
  • Hierarchical product groups
  • Price rules by product, buyer, tender type and territory, with validity dates and a simulator
  • Contextual quotes per line: can fill a line without a price if an applicable quote exists in its currency. Your team reviews the breakdown and confirms the final amount
  • A record for each buying agency, with segment, tags and notes
  • Buyer groups
  • Business lines with members and owners

Across stages · Document management

Documents and Drive

Where is the latest version of the annex?

Terms and annexes are read inside the tender, with comments and tasks on the document itself. The Drive brings together the files of the company, the chat and email.

What it does

  • Anchors, comments and tasks with an owner on the document
  • Viewer for PDF, Word, Excel, images and text
  • Versions and activity of each file
  • Text layers, marks and fields on pages, with PDF composition. Does not edit Word’s internal content
  • Simple electronic signature (FES), with additional identity verification. Check whether the terms accept that signature type. It is not an advanced electronic signature (FEA)
  • Drive with folders, trash and files from chat and email
  • Controlled permissions and links for sharing

Evaluation

KIM Tenders

What exactly do the terms require?

KIM answers about a tender backed by evidence: it offers references and excerpts to review the support for its answers, with document and page where available. When the question calls for it, it checks against the Public Procurement Law, its regulations and the CENABAST and ISP guidelines. Conversations stay in the tender, for you and your team.

What it does

  • Supporting references and excerpts, with document and page where available
  • Public procurement regulations and CENABAST and ISP guidelines, with validity checked Partial. Selected corpus. It does not cover all sector regulations.
  • Questions in natural language about the tender and its documents
  • Consultation limited to one document when you choose it
  • Conversations saved per tender, with favorites and export
  • Guided questions: question sets the AI applies to each tender, one by one
  • Requirements of the terms ordered by consequence, with available references Partial. In Mercado Público attachments, and not yet covering every family of requirements.

Management

Participation and team

Who decided to go, why, and who does what?

Each tender has its decision, its next action and its conversation. Approvals are requested and answered right there. Accepting a request does not sign a document or universally block submission.

What it does

  • Participate, decline or defer (GO, NO-GO or Defer), with reasoning, risks, expected margin and history
  • Next action with owners and due date
  • Private or shared task lists
  • Discussion per tender, with replies, mentions and attachments
  • Approvals with reviewers, a one, any or all policy, and a deadline, with notice by email or Telegram
  • Internal chat, email with templates and personal notes
  • Audio recording and transcription in notes, documents, discussions and chat
  • Tender activity with author and date: reconstruct recorded events and retrieve the reasoning behind decisions

Cross-cutting · Ideas and context

Notes and voice

How do I retrieve an idea and where it came from?

Use floating personal notes or keep an observation beside a tender, document or saved KIM answer. Voice can also accompany work: review its transcript without losing the original audio.

What it does

  • Floating personal notes you can retrieve through Notes
  • Contextual notes linked to tenders, documents and saved KIM answers
  • Audio recording and reviewable transcription in supported notes
  • Audio and transcription also in supported chat, Discussion and document comments
  • Notes are private. Use Discussion, tasks or decisions to share an agreement

Preparation and submission

Bids

Was the bid submitted?

The bid is prepared in the tender and submitted with your company’s Mercado Público session, through Masnet’s Chrome extension and a valid session. Afterwards, Masnet compares what was published with what you prepared.

What it does

  • Submission with your own Mercado Público session, with recovery points
  • Operational validation: lines with prices, document changes, legal representative and duplicates. Does not fully check the terms, tasks or every approval
  • Economic bid per line, with products from your catalog
  • Attached documents and sworn statement
  • Verification against the portal and Masnet PDF backup with sealed annexes. Masnet’s backup is not issued by ChileCompra
  • Withdrawal and new submission while the process is open

Preparation and follow-up

Guarantees

Which guarantees do we have in force, and when do they expire?

Manage bid guarantees during preparation and performance guarantees during follow-up. Distinguish the requirement from the instrument covering it. The instrument portfolio brings together issuers, credit lines, exposure and expiry dates across the company.

What it does

  • Guarantee required by Mercado Público, separate from what your company records
  • Instruments with issuer, amount, currency, validity, document and history
  • Issuers, credit lines and concentration
  • Exposure with premium and collateral. An amount that cannot be valued is shown as unknown, not as zero
  • Called guarantees, refunds and reversals

Follow-up

Contracts

What were we awarded, and what is still to be delivered?

Masnet identifies potential awards linked to your company’s verified RUT. Review the evidence and create the contract in the permitted state. An indirect purchase order reference requires confirmation before activating the contract.

What it does

  • Awards recognized by your company’s verified tax ID
  • Contract with execution model, amounts and validity
  • Awarded lines with quantity and price
  • Confirmed purchase orders, with amounts separated by currency
  • Record and track signing, delivery, acceptance, invoicing and payment milestones, with dates, states and documents provided. Recording a milestone does not prove financial execution or a collected amount
  • Obligations, amendments, incidents, fines and claims
Shared foundation

Access and shared foundation

Who can see and change what?

Every area shares the same people, permissions and records of your company.

What it does

  • Company members, invitations, roles and permissions
  • Company signatories before Mercado Público
  • Sign-in with passkeys or TOTP
  • Team changes visible without reloading the page
  • Drafts and views kept when you reload
  • The company’s use of AI: models, budgets and policies
Scope

What Masnet does not do

So you know what to expect before you sign up.

  • It does not calculate the probability of winning a tender.
  • It does not certify that a bid meets the terms: KIM helps you read them and the review is your team’s.
  • It does not submit bids on its own: they are submitted with your Mercado Público session.
  • It does not submit bids from temporary supplier consortia.
  • It does not issue guarantees: the bank or the insurer issues them.
  • It does not offer advanced electronic signature. The signature available is simple.
  • It does not replace Mercado Público: the official process and its acts remain there.
  • It does not invoice, keep accounts or collect payments: it is not an ERP.
