The State Agency BOE convenes a specific contest for the provision of job positions that begins on 29 October 2026. The Resolution of 23 October 2026 activates a process that directly affects career civil servants of the General State Administration, with particular relevance for those in provisional assignment or awaiting posting: for them, participation is not optional.
The contest is governed by Law 30/1984 and Royal Decree 364/1995, the usual framework for position provision in the GSA. Applications are processed exclusively through electronic means via the Funciona Portal, with digital certificate.
What does this regulation establish?
The resolution convenes a specific contest—a modality that allows assessment of particular merits adapted to the profile of each position—to fill vacancies in the State Agency BOE. The key aspects of the procedure are:
| Aspect | Detail |
|---|---|
| Type of contest | Specific contest for the provision of job positions |
| Who can participate | Career civil servants in any administrative situation, except current firm suspension |
| Minimum tenure | 2 years in current permanent post |
| Exceptions to tenure | Civil servants in provisional assignment or forced leave |
| Mandatory participation | Civil servants in provisional assignment or awaiting posting, if their position is called |
| Application submission | Electronically through the Funciona Portal with digital certificate |
| Deadline | 15 business days from publication (29/10/2026) |
| Gender equality | The contest incorporates the principle of equality in accordance with the GSA's IV Equality Plan |
A distinguishing element of this contest is the mandatory participation for certain groups. Civil servants in provisional assignment or awaiting posting cannot abstain if a position that corresponds to them is called: they must submit an application within the established deadline.
Economic and operational impact
This contest does not generate direct costs for private companies, but has relevant operational implications for public bodies and the civil servants affected:
- For civil servants with provisional assignment: non-participation may have consequences for their administrative situation. Participation is mandatory if their position is called.
- For the State Agency BOE: the resolution of this contest allows filling structural vacancies and normalizing provisional situations, improving human resources planning.
- For civil servants in forced leave: they are exempt from the minimum two-year tenure requirement, which facilitates their access to the contest.
- For the GSA as a whole: the process is framed within the GSA's IV Equality Plan, which means that assessment criteria must respect the principle of gender equality.
The deadline of 15 business days is tight. From publication on 29 October 2026, interested civil servants must act quickly to gather the necessary documentation and process the application through the Funciona Portal.
Who does it affect?
- Career civil servants of the GSA in active service who have been in their current permanent post for at least 2 years and wish to apply for a position in the State Agency BOE.
- Civil servants in provisional assignment whose position is called: mandatory participation.
- Civil servants awaiting posting whose position is called: mandatory participation.
- Civil servants in forced leave: may participate without needing to meet the minimum 2-year tenure requirement.
- Civil servants in any other administrative situation (except current firm suspension): may participate if they meet the requirements of the called position.
- Civil servants with current firm suspension: excluded from the contest.
Practical example
A career civil servant of the GSA who has been in their current permanent post in another body for 3 years wishes to apply for a position in the State Agency BOE. By exceeding the minimum 2-year tenure requirement, they can voluntarily submit their application through the Funciona Portal with their digital certificate, within 15 business days from 29 October 2026.
In contrast, a civil servant in provisional assignment in the State Agency BOE whose position is included in the call cannot abstain: they are required to participate. If they do not submit an application within the deadline, their administrative situation may be negatively affected. Furthermore, being in provisional assignment, the 2-year minimum tenure requirement does not apply to them, which facilitates their participation.
What should civil servants do now?
- Verify if you are in a mandatory participation situation: if you have provisional assignment or are awaiting posting, check if your position is included in the call. If it is, participation is mandatory.
- Check compliance with the tenure requirement: make sure you have been in your current permanent post for at least 2 years. If you are in forced leave or provisional assignment, this requirement does not apply to you.
- Prepare your digital certificate: the application is submitted exclusively through the Funciona Portal with a digital certificate. Verify that yours is valid before the deadline expires.
- Submit the application within 15 business days: the deadline begins on 29 October 2026. Do not wait until the last moment: electronic systems may become overloaded in the final days.
- Review the specific requirements for each called position: the contest is of a specific type, which means each position may have its own assessment criteria. Consult the contest bases in the BOE.
