Economic and operational impact
This contest does not generate direct costs for private companies, as it is limited to the public service sector. However, it has relevant operational consequences for the affected organizations and units:
- Personnel rotation in the Directorate General of the Civil Guard: the resolution of vacant positions implies personnel movements that may affect the operability of specific units during the incorporation process.
- Human resources management in the AGE: HR departments must manage applications, verify compliance with the minimum tenure requirement of 2 years and process adaptations for people with disabilities.
- Mandatory use of the Funciona Portal: exclusively online submission requires civil servants to have a valid electronic certificate before the deadline closes.
- Replacement planning: units that lose staff due to the contest must anticipate coverage of positions that remain vacant during the process.
Who does it affect?
- Career civil servants of the AGE in any administrative situation (active service, special services, leave of absence, etc.), except those permanently suspended.
- HR managers of General State Administration organizations who must manage applications, verify requirements and process adaptations.
- Units and departments of the Directorate General of the Civil Guard with vacant positions called.
- Civil servants with recognized disability who may request adaptations in the process.
Practical example
A career civil servant of the AGE who currently holds a permanent position since August 15, 2024 could not participate in this contest, as on the date the deadline closes (approximately mid-October 2026) they would not have completed the 2 years of minimum tenure required in their current position.
On the other hand, a civil servant who has been in their permanent position since before September 1, 2024 would meet the tenure requirement and could submit their application online through the Funciona Portal with their electronic certificate, always before the expiration of the 15 business days from publication.
If that civil servant has a recognized disability, they can also request the adaptations provided in the call to ensure their participation on equal terms.
What should civil servants do now?
- Verify compliance with the tenure requirement: check that you have been in your current permanent position for at least 2 years on the date the application deadline closes.
- Confirm your administrative situation: make sure you are not in a situation of permanent suspension, which is the only express cause of exclusion included in the call.
- Have a valid electronic certificate: the application is exclusively online through the Funciona Portal; without an electronic certificate it is not possible to submit it.
- Submit the application within the deadline: the 15 business days from September 1, 2026 go quickly; do not wait until the last moment to avoid technical problems.
- Request adaptations if applicable: civil servants with recognized disability must indicate it in the application to benefit from the adaptations provided in the call.
- Consult the complete call in the BOE: review the full text of the resolution to know the specific positions called, the valuable merits and the resolution procedure.
