The Provincial Council of Albacete opens the signage of its road network for public consultation

The Provincial Council of Albacete has opened the public information process for the signaling and safety barrier works project on the Provincial Road Network and other communication routes, with a total budget of €202,156.65 including VAT. The announcement is signed by the Planning, Cooperation, and Contracting Service of the provincial institution and is published in the Official Gazette of the Province of Albacete number 128, corresponding to Wednesday, November 4, 2026, in the Third Section: Local Administration, page 7. The associated administrative file is 1663249T.

The process is based on Article 93 of the revised text of the legal provisions in force regarding the Local Regime, approved by Royal Legislative Decree 781/86, of April 18, which requires certain local entity works projects to be submitted for public exhibition before their award. During this period, any interested person or entity may examine the project and submit any claims they deem appropriate.

A 202,156.65 euro project for the entire province

The object of the contract is the execution of the works detailed in the project drafted by the Provincial Architect, Ms. María Paz Pérez Carrión. This is an action involving signaling and the installation of safety barriers on the provincially-owned road network and other communication routes within its jurisdiction.

The identifying data appearing in the official announcement are as follows:

• Entity: 02000-Provincial Council of Albacete.
• File code: 1663249T.
• Object: works to be carried out for the signaling and safety barrier project on the Provincial Road Network and other communication routes.
• Project author: the Provincial Architect, María Paz Pérez Carrión.
• Total budget: €202,156.65, including VAT.
• Claims period: 20 business days.

The announcement does not detail the budget breakdown by year, the specific list of affected sections or roads, nor the VAT amount corresponding to the taxable base. These details must be consulted in the project documentation deposited at the managing service.

Twenty business days to submit claims

The public exhibition takes place at the Planning, Cooperation, and Contracting Service of the Provincial Council, which is the body to which both the file consultation and the allegations must be addressed. The enabled period is 20 business days for the purpose of claims, counted from the publication of the announcement in the provincial gazette.

The invoked regulation, Article 93 of the revised text of the Local Government Act, is the standard channel for local works that require this prior procedure. Its function is to allow citizen and institutional oversight of the project before the file proceeds to contracting, so that objections submitted within the deadline can be assessed by the Administration.

Impact for drivers in the province

The action is directed at vertical and horizontal signage and containment elements—safety barriers—of the roads managed by the Provincial Council of Albacete, meaning its result affects users of virtually the entire provincial communications network. The amount, exceeding 200,000 euros, places the work at the threshold that requires publicity and competitive bidding in local public sector contracting.

The announcement can be consulted in the Third Section of the Official Gazette of the Province of Albacete dated November 4, 2026, under reference 299688. Any interested party has the established 20 business days to review the project and, if applicable, file a claim before the procedure continues.
