Estivella authorizes the granting of private use of its municipal public domain

The Estivella City Council has opened the procedure to award the public domain concession for private use of municipal public property under a competitive bidding process. The call is published in the Official Gazette of the Province of Valencia (BOP) number 199, dated October 16, 2026, with the official reference 2026/12335. The announcement appears in the municipal announcements section of the gazette, on page 3.

What is being tendered and under what regime

The object of the call is a public domain concession for private use: the authorization for an operator to exclusively occupy a space owned by the municipal public sector and designate it for private use during the term set by the concession. Compared to simple occupation authorizations, the public domain concession grants a more stable right of use, subject to the conditions of the specifications and municipal control.

The award is planned under a competitive regime, meaning through an open procedure in which several candidacies may be submitted and the award is resolved by comparing offers according to the criteria established in the call. The announcement identifies the file with the reference 2026/12335, which is the identifier that interested parties must use in their inquiries and submissions to the council.

The publication framework

The BOP is the official means of publicity for the acts of the city councils in the province and is edited by the Provincial Council of Valencia. The issue in which this call appears is number 199 of year CXCIV, dated October 16, 2026, and in it, municipal announcements are ordered alphabetically by the name of the city council.

Publication in the provincial gazette is the procedure that provides official publicity to the call and activates the information and bid submission deadlines detailed in the call itself and the governing specifications. The announcement from Estivella shares a number with other municipal communications from the same day, including those from Náquera —regarding the change in the method of providing the cleaning service for municipal buildings through indirect management— and Tavernes de la Valldigna —regarding the direct management of the municipal indoor pool—, reflecting the usual activity of city councils regarding service management and utilization.

Who is interested

The call opens a business opportunity for local operators interested in exploiting a municipal public domain space on a private basis. Potential recipients are companies and freelancers from the municipality and its surrounding regional area whose activity fits the intended use of the public domain asset subject to the concession.

For the city council, the concession entails organizing the use of a public asset and subjecting it to the conditions of the specifications, in addition to incorporating the considerations established by the concession itself into the municipal heritage. For the residents, the procedure determines what use will be given to a publicly owned space and under what conditions its private exploitation is authorized.

Closing

The Estivella tender is one of the methods by which city councils add value to their public domain: instead of leaving the asset without regulated use, it is opened to competition and awarded to the party that best fits the established conditions. Interested parties must consult the full text of the call and the applicable specifications, available through the Estivella City Council and the Official Gazette of the Province of Valencia, and verify the requirements, the requested documentation, and the exact deadlines therein before submitting an offer.
