The Coreses City Council has opened a public tender for the lease of six municipally-owned dryland rural plots, with a combined area of 8.2340 hectares. The Local Government Board, in a session on November 3, 2026, approved the file and set a deadline of fifteen calendar days to submit offers from the publication of the announcement. The procedure is published in the Official Gazette of the Province of Zamora No. 133, dated November 13, 2026, with the official reference R-202602647.

A file processed by the Municipal Secretariat

The tender announcement, signed by the mayor in Coreses on November 10, 2026, details that the contracting body is the Local Government Board and that the processing and handling of inquiries correspond to the municipal Secretariat. The file is identified by number 80/2026 and the modality is an open procedure, with award by tender to the most economically advantageous offer according to several criteria.

The deadlines and conditions are summarized as follows:

Submission deadline: fifteen calendar days from the day following the publication of the announcement, until 2:00 PM on the final day.
Lease duration: five non-renewable years, with a maximum date of December 31, 2031.
Annual base fee: 35 euros per hectare; offers below this figure will not be accepted.
Provisional guarantee: 50 euros for each plot applied for.
Definitive guarantee: one annual payment of the offered fee.

Six estates from polygon 1 with names and cadastral references

The plots subject to the contract are the following, all from polygon 1 of the municipal district:

Gavia el Cepo (plot 79): 1.5260 hectares, estate 7934 of the inventory.
Los Sotos (plot 318): 0.4410 hectares, estate 7939.
La Portilla (plot 430): 2.8590 hectares, estate 7943.
Teso de la Cabaña (plot 498): 1.1540 hectares, estate 7944.
El Plantío (plot 574): 1.2420 hectares, estate 7946.
El Magre (plot 629): 1.0120 hectares, estate 7947.

The City Council warns that the area listed in the Cadastre differs from that of the Municipal Asset Inventory for plots 79, 318, 430, and 498. The lease is formalized as a “cuerpo cierto” (as-is), meaning that differences in size relative to any measurement, including SIGPAC, will not entitle the lessee to a reduction in the fee or to the termination of the contract. The admissible area for the purposes of Common Agricultural Policy subsidies is also not guaranteed.

Two valuation criteria and prohibition of subletting

The award is decided based on a scale of 100 points. The economic criterion, which is mandatory, provides 85 points and is calculated based on the improvement of the annual base fee per hectare. The environmental criterion, which is optional, distributes the remaining 15 points according to the distance traveled by the tractor and machinery from its starting point to the farm:

Less than 3 kilometers, both included: 15 points.
Between 3 and 8 kilometers, both included: 7.5 points.
More than 8 kilometers: 0 points.

Natural and legal persons considered farmers in accordance with Law 1/2014, of March 19, the agrarian law of Castilla y León, and the specifications may apply. The common burden of all farms requires the land to be used for purposes that benefit the general farming community of the area. The successful bidders must cultivate the land annually, with sowing and harvesting, and operate it personally or with workers from their own agricultural holding. Subleasing or assignment to third parties without prior municipal authorization is prohibited, and the business is exempt from VAT.

Submission of bids and opening of envelopes

Proposals are submitted in two envelopes: Envelope A shall contain Annex I of the responsible declaration and proof of the provisional guarantee; Envelope B shall contain Annex II with the offered fee and the documentation for the environmental criterion. In-person registration is at the Town Hall, at calle San Roque no. 19 in Coreses, Monday to Friday from 09:05 to 14:00 hours, and Envelope A may also be sent electronically through the municipal headquarters.

Once the deadline has closed, the contracting board will open Envelope A within three business days; this act will be private and its result will be published in the contractor’s profile. The opening of Envelope B will be held in a public act announced on the notice board. Any bidder who includes Annex II in Envelope A will be excluded without further procedure. Notary fees, registration, non-free advertisements (up to 50 euros), and the verification of powers of attorney (20 euros) shall be borne by the successful bidder.

The lease is relevant for the farmers and livestock breeders of the Toro region because it incorporates up to eight hectares of publicly owned dryland into the market with a moderate starting fee and a term of five years, although the calendar is tight: fifteen calendar days from the publication of the announcement in the Official Gazette of the Province of Zamora, which sets the deadline for November 28, 2026, at 14:00 hours, transferable to the first following business day if that date is a non-working day.
