Alcalalí tenders the installation of vending machines in the municipal sports center

The Alcalalí City Council has announced, through a competitive bidding process, the administrative concession for the private use of a public domain asset intended for the installation and operation of cold beverage vending machines—including snacks and solid products—within the municipal facilities of the Alcalalí Sports Center. The call was approved by Mayoral resolution on November 2, 2026, and published in the Official Gazette of the Province of Alicante (BOP) no. 209, dated November 3, 2026, within section III, Local Administration, under official reference 8449/2026. The deadline for submitting bids is thirty days starting from the day following the publication of the announcement.

The announcement, written in Valencian and signed by the Mayor-President Yolanda Molina Tolsma, opens a competitive procedure for a specific municipal space: the property located at Carrer dels Tarongers, 12, in the town, postal code 03728. The call is limited to ordering the tender; the economic and technical content of the concession—fee, duration, and award criteria—is not detailed in the published text, which expressly refers to the specifications document.

Object and Location of the Operation

The concession enables the private use of a public domain asset for the installation and operation of vending machines for cold beverage products, including snacks and solids, in the municipal facilities of the Alcalalí Sports Center, at Carrer dels Tarongers, 12 (03728 Alcalalí).

• Address: Carrer Major, 10.
• Town and postal code: 03728 Alcalalí.
• Contact email address: secretaria@alcalali.es.

Opening of Proposals and Access to Specifications

The bid opening act will be held on December 17, 2026, at 12:00 PM at the Alcalalí City Council. The specifications document is available to interested parties at the municipal Secretariat and on the council’s electronic office, https://alcalali.sedelectronica.es, where it can be consulted before preparing the proposal.

The announcement is inserted in section III of the provincial bulletin, dedicated to Local Administration, and bears order number 8449 in the issue’s summary, with the reference 8449/2026 in the footer of each page.

A business niche for vending operators

The call for tenders is of interest to vending companies and small regional operators, as it involves a concession for public space in a municipal sports facility, with a steady flow of users and no need for one’s own commercial premises. The condition of competitive bidding prevents direct award: any interested party may apply provided they collect the specifications from the Secretariat or download them from the electronic office and formally submit their bid in person at the municipal registry before the deadline. The public opening on December 17, 2026, will mark the award calendar, and the result will depend on the economic conditions set in the specifications, which are not published in the announcement. For operators in the Marina Alta, the appeal is twofold: it adds a point of sale in a sports venue and opens the door to future similar concessions in other departments of the same city council.
