Ciguera puts a home up for tender for seven years starting from 450 euros

The Ciguera Neighborhood Council (León) has opened a public tender for the seven-year lease of the property located at number 18 Cimera Street in the town, with a bidding price of 450 euros per month and a period of 15 calendar days to submit offers. The approval agreement for the specific terms and conditions was adopted on November 1, 2026, and the announcement is published in the Official Gazette of the Province of León number 214, corresponding to Wednesday, November 11, 2026, with the reference BOP-LE-2026-214025.

An open tender with the rental as the object

The contract is identified by file number 02/2026 and is processed by the Presidency of the Neighborhood Council, the department that also provides documentation and information regarding the procedure until the end of the submission period, with the telephone number 619182796 as a contact.

The procedure is open, follows ordinary processing, and takes the form of a competition; the property is identified by the cadastral reference 5090201UN2559S0001UW. The bidding price is 450.00 euros per month and is set as an upward bid, meaning that economic proposals compete to exceed that base rent.

Primary residence carries more weight than price

The award criteria are distributed over a total score of 100 points, with a weight clearly favoring the residential use of the property over the economic bid:

• Higher economic offer: up to 45 points.
• Commitment to designate the home as a primary residence, for oneself and, if applicable, one’s family, with permanent residence therein: up to 55 points.

The bidder must prove this commitment through a sworn statement, which is included among the documents in the documentation envelope.

Guarantees, requirements, and submission format

Applicants must meet two conditions: have full legal capacity to act and not be subject to any incompatibility or prohibition from contracting with the public sector, and have no debts with the tendering entity. The required guarantees are as follows:

• Provisional: 3% of the bidding price, deposited into the Neighborhood Council’s account at Unicaja.
• Definitive: 5% of the award amount over the total duration of the contract.

Proposals are submitted to the Ciguera Neighborhood Council, from 9:00 to 14:00 hours, and only one offer per bidder is permitted. The documentation is organized into two envelopes inside an outer envelope labeled “CONCURSO ARRENDAMIENTO DE VIVIENDA” (HOUSING LEASE TENDER):

• Envelope A, “Documentation”: receipt of the provisional guarantee, documents proving legal personality—or ID/DNI in the case of a natural person—and a sworn statement of primary and permanent residence.
• Envelope B, “Economic Proposal”: a single monthly rent offer signed by the bidder or their representative.

The submission period is 15 calendar days starting from the day following the publication of the announcement in the Official Gazette of the Province of León, which sets the closing date on November 26, 2026. The opening of the economic bids will take place at 6:00 PM on the first Saturday following the lapse of 10 calendar days from the end of that period, at the village hall or the Neighborhood Council premises determined by the Presidency. The costs of publishing official announcements shall be borne by the successful bidder.

A neighborhood heritage seeking neighbors

The announcement is signed by the president of the Neighborhood Council, Alfredo F. Valbuena Pérez, in Ciguera, on November 8, 2026, and is published on pages 50 and 51 of the provincial gazette.

The operation converts a neighborhood-owned dwelling into a long-term lease agreement, seven years, with a starting rent that is modest for the Leonese rural environment. The scoring design reveals the objective: more than half of the points reward those who establish their habitual and permanent residence in the house, prioritizing them over those who only offer to pay more. For the residents of Ciguera, the competition is a way to recover a stable population and to make use of a property belonging to the minor local entity, whose full terms can be consulted in the specifications document.
