The municipality of San Bartolomé de Tirajana is preparing for the replacement of its major cleaning contract, a twelve-year agreement valued at nearly €130 million for services in Maspalomas and southern Gran Canaria, which is set to expire in 2027.
The upcoming public tender for street cleaning, waste collection, and beach maintenance in one of Europe's most prominent tourist destinations will feature new, more complex technical specifications. The current agreement's expiration initiates this process, attracting local and international service providers to a significant bidding process that will shape the region's public works for the next decade.
What We Know So Far
- The comprehensive contract for street cleaning, waste collection, and beach maintenance in southern Gran Canaria will conclude in 2027, according to a report from maspalomas24h.uk.
- The current service is managed by a joint venture (UTE) composed of FCC, Lopesan, and Bitumex, which will reach its twelve-year operational limit upon the contract's expiration.
- The total value of the current contract is €129.5 million, calculated from an annual fee of €10.7 million stipulated in the agreement.
- Forthcoming technical specifications for the new tender are expected to introduce a higher level of complexity, focusing on energy efficiency, fuel savings, and waste management integration.
- Local businesses are reportedly forming engineering teams to create alliances with larger European groups to compete for the new contract.
