Gaming Operations Advisory Services

The Puerto Rico Bureau of Casinos and Lottery Control (BCLC) is seeking Gaming Operations Advisory Services through a Request for Specialized Qualifications (RFSQ) to identify industry-leading advisors for supporting various gaming operations. The procurement aims to engage specialized consultants across four distinct categories: iGaming Operations, Brick-and-Mortar Casino Operations, Sports Betting Operations, and Brick-and-Mortar Lottery Operations. Advisors will be evaluated on their expertise in areas including gaming operations strategy, regulatory compliance, business planning, and operational optimization. The BCLC's primary objective is to enhance operational agility and player experience by maintaining a roster of qualified experts who can be engaged on an as-required and as-requested basis. Respondents must demonstrate specialized and practical expertise in their chosen category or categories, with successful candidates meeting minimum evaluation thresholds being invited to enter into an agreement for inclusion on the roster. The procurement was posted on August 25, 2025, with proposals due by October 1, 2025, providing potential advisors approximately five weeks to prepare and submit their qualifications.

The RFSQ does not explicitly mention specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. No incumbent vendors or current contractors are identified in the provided documentation. The solicitation appears open to industry experts and consulting firms with proven track records in gaming operations across the specified categories. While specific budget ranges or award values are not detailed, the procurement suggests a flexible engagement model where advisors will be selected for potential future consulting assignments based on their demonstrated capabilities. The roster approach indicates that multiple advisors may be selected, with actual engagements and compensation to be determined on a case-by-case basis depending on BCLC's specific operational needs and the selected advisors' expertise. The comprehensive nature of the RFSQ suggests a strategic approach to building a pool of high-caliber gaming operations consultants who can provide targeted support across various gaming sector segments.
