Rio Grande do Sul, through the Secretariat for Partnerships and Concessions (Separ), published last Friday (9), in the Official Gazette, a Public Notice of Expression of Interest Procedure (PMI), to evaluate the possibility of creating a state lottery.
The PMI is an instrument used by the public administration to receive preliminary studies and projects that may eventually be contracted in the future.
The State's intention is to seek partners in the private sector for the implementation of a Rio Grande do Sul lottery.
“An action like this opens up new possibilities of resources for various social policies, in addition to boosting the economy as a whole, from the emergence of new businesses related to the provision of lottery services,” observes the head of Separ, Pedro Capeluppi.
According to the announcement, companies have 30 days to express interest and 120 days to deliver the studies. Then, the documents will be analyzed by government technicians.
Before the final publication of the concession, scheduled for the first half of 2024, Separ will carry out a public consultation and hearing.
The PMI Notice can be obtained here (available in Portuguese).
