Additionally, the Comptroller General of Accounts is proposing that the direct purchase process should be done with a bidding stage. Carlos Menco, head of the Comptroller's Office, told the Periódico of Guatemala that "the proposal is for a bid to be published on the website for such acquisitions, but the competition should not go through the same terms as a tender."

Among the amendments to the Act, it is also established that "the purchases that exceed 10 thousand Quetzals ($ 1233) must be published in the Guatecompras portal."
