Ten calendar days and mandatory electronic submission

The deadline for submitting offers is 10 calendar days counting from the publication of the announcement in the Official Gazette of the Province of Teruel, that is, from this November 13, 2026. Proposals shall be submitted through the electronic office of the Albarracín City Council (https://albarracin.sedelectronica.es/info.0), in the modality detailed in the specifications.

The contact details and those of the contracting authority are as follows:

• File number: 497/2026.
• Address: Plaza Mayor nº 1, 44100 Albarracín (Teruel).

The opening of the offers will be held at Plaza Mayor 1 in Albarracín; the date and time will be announced on the municipal electronic office, as the announcement does not set a specific day.

A day of intense municipal activity

The hunting call shares a page and plenary session with other municipal decisions published on the same day. The Plenary of Albarracín, meeting in an extraordinary session on November 10, 2026, provisionally approved the fee for the early childhood education school cafeteria service (announcement 2026-3398) and the modification of the Fiscal Ordinance regulating the Real Estate Tax (2026-3400), both with a thirty-day public information period.

In the same session, the public interest of the eventual H24 helipad, intended exclusively for health emergencies, was declared, with the initial approval of the special authorization file on non-developable land (announcement 2026-3401, property with cadastral reference 44009A00200264000RG, polygon 2 plot 264) and a 20-day hearing process. The 2026-2027 economic-financial plan (2026-3405) was also publicized.

Game reserves and 70-hectare areas at stake

The announcement does not identify the current holders of the exploitations nor the number of seasons of validity, data that must be consulted in the specifications. It does specify the framework of the operation: forests classified as of public utility within the municipality of Albarracín, whose hunting management corresponds to the city council through the Mayor’s Office.

Furthermore, the auction takes place within a context of municipal fiscal adjustment, with the modification of the IBI (Real Estate Tax) and the economic-financial plan approved in the same plenary session, which reinforces the council’s interest in monetizing its forestry exploitations.

The ten-calendar-day deadline is the decisive element for interested parties: game reserve holders, hunting societies, and hunting companies from the region must prepare the documentation and register it electronically before the deadline expires, as the call does not provide for an extension and the opening of bids will be communicated solely through the municipal electronic office.
