La Bajadilla: Puertos de Andalucía notifies the award resolutions

The Public Ports Agency of Andalusia has arranged for the notification via publication of the resolutions issued in the award procedure for the public works concession contract titled “Expansion of the port of Marbella, La Bajadilla.” The announcement, dated November 4, 2026, is published in the Official Gazette of the Government of Andalusia (BOJA) number 219, corresponding to Thursday, November 12, 2026, under text no. 14726.

The announcement is inserted in section 5.2, “Other official announcements,” within the block of the Ministry of Public Works and Mobility, upon which the port policy of the Government of Andalusia depends. The text occupies a single page of the gazette, which in this issue corresponds to Year XLVIII of the publication and maintains the legal deposit SE-410/1979 and ISSN 2253-802X.

Notification through the official gazette

The Public Ports Agency of Andalusia utilizes the method of notification via publication; that is, it conveys the content of its resolutions to the interested parties through the BOJA itself instead of individual communication. The announcement thus serves to notify the decisions adopted in the award procedure to those affected by them.

The notified object is not an isolated resolution: the text refers in the plural to “the resolutions issued” in the procedure, indicating that the award file has generated more than one administrative act. All of them refer to the same contract, identified by its official designation as a public works concession.

The contract: expansion of the port of Marbella

The contract subject to the notification is the public works concession for the expansion of the port of Marbella, known as La Bajadilla, a nautical facility on the coast of the Malaga municipality, in the heart of the Costa del Sol. The chosen legal formula is the public works concession, a model in which the awardee assumes the execution of the infrastructure and its operation during the term fixed in the contract.

The action is framed within the activity of the Public Ports Agency of Andalusia as the managing entity of the ports owned by the autonomous community, among which the Marbella facility is included. The official designation of the contract and the name of the convening body are the only two identifying elements that the announcement details explicitly.

Scope of the publication

The announcement published in BOJA no. 219 is limited to ordering the notification by publication and identifying the contract and the procedure. It does not include in this issue the award amount, the identity of the awardee, the term of the concession, nor the details of the technical specifications.

The text also does not establish deadlines for allegations or appeals within the body of the announcement. Anyone requiring the full content of the resolutions must refer to the administrative file processed by the Agencia Pública de Puertos de Andalucía, the entity in charge of the award procedure.

A long-standing urban planning file

The expansion of the port of La Bajadilla is one of the most significant port actions planned for the Malaga coastline, due to its impact on the seafront of Marbella and on the nautical and tourist activity of the municipality. The publication of the award resolutions places the file in its final phase, following the processing of the procurement procedure.

Notification by publication is, furthermore, the step that allows for the closing of the administrative route of the award and opens the possibility of challenge by the parties interested in the procedure.

Impact for readers

The decision directly affects the nautical and tourist sector of the Costa del Sol and the operators who bid for the concession, who from now on have a formal channel to learn about the resolutions and, if applicable, appeal them. The announcement makes the BOJA of November 12, 2026, the official reference for following the outcome of a project with a strong economic and urban impact in Marbella.
