Boyacá regional administration legal and procurement issues
Overview
The Boyacá administration has faced legal challenges regarding its financial management and procurement processes. The Administrative Tribunal of Boyacá nullified Ordinance 026, which had authorized a 230 billion peso loan for road infrastructure—the largest in the department’s history. The ruling, prompted by allegations of procedural failures regarding timelines and public participation, was met with an intent to appeal by Governor Carlos Amaya, who defended the funds as essential for rural and urban improvements.
Concurrently, the Governorate has engaged in extensive direct contracting through the SECOP II system. In late October 2026, the administration announced multiple rounds of direct contracts totaling over 1.2 billion pesos. These include 43 processes valued at approximately 931 million pesos, primarily for professional services and one urgent contract for firefighting helicopter services, followed by an additional 37 processes valued at roughly 325 million pesos for management support and technical coordination.
