Callosa de Segura opens the competition for two positions at the municipal market

The City Council of Callosa de Segura has approved the regulatory bases and the call for the administrative concession for the private use of public domain assets for the joint operation of stalls no. 6 and no. 7 of the municipal food market. The agreement corresponds to the Local Government Board, adopted on September 23, 2026, and is published in the Official Gazette of the Province of Alicante (BOP) no. 192, dated October 8, 2026, under reference 7346/2026. Interested parties have a period of 20 business days to submit their proposals.

An open procedure and competitive bidding process

The call is processed as an administrative concession for the private use of public domain assets, the figure provided for the occupation and operation of municipal-owned spaces such as food market stalls. The announcement specifies that the award will be resolved through an open procedure and competitive bidding, so that any operator who meets the requirements of the bases can compete on equal terms.

The file affects stalls no. 6 and no. 7 jointly; that is, their operation is tendered as a single unit and not separately. The agreement of the Local Government Board of September 23, 2026, includes both the approval of the regulatory bases and the call itself for the submission of proposals.

20-business-day deadline and consultation of the bases

The deadline for submitting proposals is 20 business days, counted from the day following the publication of the announcement in the Official Gazette of the Province of Alicante. The terms and means of submission are those established by the regulatory bases themselves.

The documentation can be consulted at the following points:

• The municipal electronic office, at the address https://callosadesegura.sedelectronica.es/board.
• The other locations indicated in the regulatory bases themselves.
• The bases are identified by the Document Validation Code (CVD) 76TH7J35A52J2DSTEZXPPRRJN, which allows for the verification of their authenticity.

The announcement appears in section III, Local Administration, of the provincial gazette, on page 1 of the document, and is electronically signed by the Mayor-President, Juan Antonio Franco Amorós.

The municipal food market, a proximity service

The municipal food market is a proximity facility whose operation depends on its stalls being occupied and active. The competitive bidding for two adjacent stalls seeks to reactivate a commercial area that remains unexploited and return it to the ordinary circuit of the market.

The concession is part of the habitual practice of city councils, which tender the occupation of public domain assets when stalls become vacant or the previous authorization expires. In the case of Callosa de Segura, the procedure is resolved through a public tender, with publication in the official bulletin and a fixed deadline for receiving offers.

Impact for local merchants

The call for applications opens a direct opportunity for merchants and small operators from the town and the region who wish to set up in the municipal market, as the joint operation of stalls no. 6 and no. 7 allows for a larger surface area than a single stall. The period of 20 business days is the key piece of information for those interested: the submission of proposals must comply with the rules and be carried out through the means established therein. The resolution of the tender will determine who assumes the operation and, with it, the reactivation of two stalls in the food market of Callosa de Segura.
