Negotiated procedure without publicity

The contract is processed as a private advertising sponsorship contract through a negotiated procedure without publicity with ordinary processing. It is, therefore, an award that does not go through an open market call, but rather by direct invitation to the designated operator, in this case, the Lleida basketball club.

The sponsorship is framed within the territorial brand “Gust de Lleida,” which the Diputació uses as an instrument for territorial promotion. In this case, the advertising consideration is associated with the club’s sporting activity and the dissemination of the provincial brand within the environment of its matches and events.

On the same day, 50,820 euros for Pirineus TV

The session included a second sponsorship contract from the same brand, in this case with Pirineus TV for the production and broadcasting of special programs linked to gastronomic events in the Lleida region (Exp. 2026/135-5615). The amounts are significantly lower:

• Base tender budget: 42,000.00 euros plus 8,820.00 euros VAT, for a total of 50,820.00 euros.
• Estimated value: 84,000.00 euros.
• Budgetary application: 011 922 2260201 Advertising and propaganda services Diputació, operation number 2269000303, charged to the year 2027.
• Invited company: Pirineus TV - CADENA PIRENAICA DE RÀDIO I TELEVISIÓ, S.L (B25527201), with a maximum term of 10 calendar days from the receipt of the invitation.

In this file, the Diputació approved early processing under article 117.2 and the third additional provision, section 2, of the LCSP, with the start of material execution planned during the 2027 financial year.

Quorum in second call

The session was validated in a second call with three of the seven deputies who make up the Governing Board. It was attended by president Joan Talarn Gilabert, fourth vice-president Rosa Pujol Esteve, deputy Cristina Morón Molina, and general secretary Aránzazu Casals Roldán. Absence was excused for first vice-president Agustí Jiménez Pérez, second vice-president Sandra Castro Bayona, deputy Estefania Rufach Fontova, and third vice-president Juan Antonio Serrano Iglesias. The document is electronically signed on October 14, 2026.

The 400,000 euro sponsorship is the largest advertising expense approved by the Diputació in this session and commits budget until 2028, thus conditioning the corporation’s institutional promotion capacity for three financial years. For Força Lleida, the agreement represents a stable and multi-year income linked to its activity, while for the city’s sports sector, it confirms the club’s role as the main showcase for the provincial brand.
