The Provincial Council of Albacete extends Sedipualba to the insular public sector of Tenerife

The Provincial Council of Albacete and the Island Council of Tenerife have formalized the first modification addendum to the agreement that makes all applications and tools of the Sedipualba platform available to the Island Council, in order to extend its use beyond the small municipalities of the island. The agreement was finalized upon its signing on October 6, 2026, and is published in the Official Gazette of the Province of Albacete no. 130, dated November 9, 2026, Third Section. Local Administration, with official reference 29.482.

The publication is ordered in accordance with article 48.8 of Law 40/2015, of October 1, on the Legal Regime of the Public Sector. The master agreement was signed on September 12, 2025, and limited the service to the island’s municipalities with a population of fewer than 20,000 inhabitants that so decided, with the support of the Island Council through its own resources. The now-published addendum responds to the request of the Island Council itself, which recognizes “the need and convenience” of extending the shared solution to island entities of smaller organizational size with limited capacity to sustain an integrated electronic administration platform on their own.

From small municipalities to island entities

The new text modifies the explanatory section and the first clause, regarding the object, to expand the subjective scope of the agreement. In addition to the municipalities already provided for, entities of the Insular Public Sector that meet these conditions may be incorporated:

• Their own legal personality, linked to or dependent on the Island Council of Tenerife.
• Fewer than 50 employees.
• Operating as public administrations.

The addendum also adjusts the clauses regarding communication, planning, training, support, and the incorporation regime. The adhesion of these entities will be carried out through a specific regime approved by the Island Council, “in analogous terms” to the municipal one but differentiated in the necessary organizational and procedural aspects. For city councils, the procedure of article 22 of the Regulation of Comprehensive Assistance to Municipalities, approved by the Plenary on March 1, 2021, and published in the BOP of Santa Cruz de Tenerife no. 46, of April 16, 2021, remains in effect.

Six tools and permanent service

The third clause lists the fully operational tools that make up Sedipualba:

• SEGEX, electronic file management system.
• SEFYCU, signing and custody of documents, notifications, and publications.
• SERES, electronic registry interoperable with SIR, pending connection with the SARA Network.
• SEGRA, electronic management of administrative resolutions.
• SECOIN, internal control.
• SEPADRON, population register.

The set can be complemented with the SEFACE electronic invoice processing system, through adaptation by the accounting provider of the assigning entity. The Provincial Council commits to offering the applications with 24-hour-a-day and 365-day-a-year availability, interruption notices, a User Support Center, and a joint annual evaluation of consumed capacity.

Cost assumed by the Cabildo and monitoring commission

The fourth clause establishes that the implementation cost in the municipalities and in the incorporated entities of the Insular Public Sector “shall be paid by the Cabildo Insular de Tenerife” in accordance with the seventh and eighth clauses, without direct economic repercussion for said entities for ordinary incorporation and use activities. The Joint Monitoring Commission, with two representatives from each party, assumes the monitoring of incorporations, the validation of the deployment planning, and the analysis of available capacity. For reasons of efficiency and under the protection of article 11 of Law 40/2015, the Provincial Council will manage, by entrustment, the domains of the electronic offices, the seals and secure verification codes, the Registry Interconnection System, and the notifications in the citizen folder of the AGE.

Fit within the insular modernization strategy

The text links the expansion to the Cabildo’s Modernization Strategy and the progressive organization of the Insular Public Sector. It cites project P25.2E of the 2025 Municipal Modernization Plan, relating to the electronic administration platform service based on Sedipualba, as well as projects P.2.4, for the creation of the Insular Public Sector Office, and P.2.5, for the definition of a corporate strategy for said sector, both from the 2024-2028 Action Plan.

The signature corresponds to Santiago Cabañero Masip, president of the Provincial Council of Albacete (CIF P0200000H), in compliance with the plenary agreement of September 2, 2026, and to Rosa Elena Dávila Mamely, president of the Cabildo Insular de Tenerife by extraordinary plenary agreement of July 3, 2023. Francisco Suay Ojalvo, secretary of the Provincial Council, acted as the certifying officer.

The move consolidates the Provincial Council of Albacete as an external technological provider for another insular administration and demonstrates the viability of exporting a shared electronic administration model born for the municipalities of Albacete. For the smaller town halls and entities of Tenerife, the agreement avoids fragmented solutions and gives them access to infrastructure, support, and regulatory updates that they could not afford separately.
