The Regional Government has extended the deadline for defining standard values in the cooperation model between the ISSM and social sector institutions due to the process's technical complexity.
Ordinance no. 142/2026, from the Regional Secretariat for Inclusion, Labour and Youth, introduces the second amendment to Ordinance no. 720/2023, extending to 42 months the deadline for defining social responses and their respective standard values within the scope of cooperation between the Madeira Social Security Institute (ISSM, IP-RAM) and social and solidarity sector institutions.
The decision is justified by the need for methodological deepening and progressive validation of technical benchmarks, aiming to avoid misaligned values that could compromise the financial sustainability of the institutions. Until this process is concluded, the current funding regimes remain in force.
Five employees have been hired on permanent contracts to clean buildings and maintain facilities at the Regional Secretariat for Equipment and Infrastructure. The contracts take effect on 1 October 2026 and include a 90-day probationary period.
Gustavo José Correia Góis has been hired on a permanent contract as a senior officer at the Regional Directorate of Energy. The contract takes effect on 6 October and includes a 180-day probationary period.
The draft list of candidates admitted to and excluded from the Madeira Social Security Institute competition for three senior officer posts has been published. Interested parties have 10 working days to submit representations in a prior hearing.
