Provincial Council awards the work for Hortas Reais street in Baiona

The Governing Board of the Provincial Council of Pontevedra has awarded the simplified open procedure convened for the contracting of the work “Adecuación e posta en valor da rúa Hortas Reais” (Adaptation and enhancement of Hortas Reais street), in the municipality of Baiona, according to agreement number 20 of the ordinary session held on November 6, 2026. The extract of the agreements is published in the Official Gazette of the Province of Pontevedra (BOPPO) number 218, corresponding to November 11, 2026, within the Local Administration section, with the official reference 2026078198.

The session was ordinary, presided over by Luís López Diéguez, and all agreements were adopted unanimously, as stated in the extract itself. The issuing body is the Provincial Council of Pontevedra, acting as the contracting entity and as the administration that processes work files of provincial and regional interest.

The awarded procedure is a works contract processed via the simplified open route, the contracting itinerary provided for in the public sector contracts regulations for contracts with an estimated value below the thresholds that require the ordinary open procedure. The administrative file is 2026004327.

Three approved work projects in the same board meeting

Along with the award for Hortas Reais, the Governing Board gave the green light to three other work files affecting municipalities in the province:

• Lalín: approval of the execution project for the work “Mellora da mobilidade peonil na E.P. 6001 Lalín-Botos-Gresande, do P.Q. 1+000 ao P.Q. 1+948” (Improvement of pedestrian mobility on E.P. 6001 Lalín-Botos-Gresande, from P.Q. 1+000 to P.Q. 1+948), a linear action of nearly one kilometer on the provincial road, with file 2026059513.
• Baiona: approval of the work project for the installation of a traffic control system in the urban center and access control in the historic center, within the scope of the PAI Val Miñor, financed through the financial path of the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) 2021-2027, with file 2026004374.
• Pontevedra: approval of the execution project for the works of “Restauración paisaxística e acondicionamento funcional dos xardíns de Santa Clara” (Landscape restoration and functional conditioning of the Santa Clara gardens), with file 2026060098.

In all three cases, these are project approvals—that is, the technical step prior to tendering or material execution—and not contract awards.

What the extract does not detail

The extract published in BOPPO number 218 limits the Hortas Reais agreement to the formula “the simplified open procedure is awarded” and does not include in the reproduced text the award amount, the identity of the contracting company, nor the execution or formalization period. These data must be consulted in the documentation of file 2026004327 and in the tender and formalization announcements that the Provincial Council of Pontevedra publishes on its electronic headquarters.

Impact for companies and residents

For the construction sector, the award to Hortas Reais closes a previously convened simplified procedure and opens the way to the formalization and execution of the work in the urban center of Baiona, while the projects approved in Lalín, Baiona and Pontevedra anticipate new tenders in the coming months. For residents, the three approved actions affect pedestrian mobility, access to the historic center, and an urban green space, while the award to Hortas Reais directly impacts a street in the core of Baiona.
