The Provincial Council presents the new fiber optics of the Provincial Palace to the public

The Provincial Council of Albacete has opened for public review the project for the replacement of fiber optics and network switches at the Provincial Palace, with a total budget of 122,193.53 euros, VAT included. The announcement is signed by the institution’s Planning, Cooperation, and Contracting Service and is published in the Official Gazette of the Province of Albacete (BOP) number 124, corresponding to Friday, October 23, 2026, in the Third Section: Local Administration, with official reference 28.591.

The procedure complies with Article 93 of the revised text of the legal provisions currently in force regarding the Local Regime, approved by Royal Legislative Decree 781/86, of April 18. This provision requires that local entity construction projects be submitted for public exhibition prior to their award, so that any interested party may examine them and file claims.

A file with its own code and a budget of 122,193.53 euros

The announcement identifies the project through two administrative identifiers that allow for its tracking:

• Entity code: 02000-Diputación de Albacete.
• File code: 1655031E.
• Project name: replacement of fiber optics and network switches in the Provincial Palace.
• Total budget including VAT: 122,193.53 euros.

The action is part of the renovation of the communications infrastructure of the provincial institution’s headquarters, a building that concentrates administrative services and public attention. The objective declared in the announcement is limited to fiber optic cabling and network switches, without the published text detailing other technical characteristics, execution deadlines, or the planned award procedure.

Twenty business days to file claims

The public exhibition period is 20 business days and is calculated from the publication of the announcement in the provincial gazette. During this period, the file remains available to interested parties at the Planning, Cooperation, and Contracting Service of the Provincial Council, which is the unit expressly designated in the announcement as the point of consultation.

The procedure opens the door for ICT sector companies, professional associations, trade unions, and any natural or legal person affected by the work to submit allegations to the project before the Council continues with the processing of the contract. Public exhibition is, therefore, the final phase prior to tendering in this type of local construction action.

Two technical project drafters

The project was drafted by technicians Luis María García Guerrero and María Dolores Navarro Pedrosa, as expressly stated in the official announcement. The mention of the document’s authors is part of the minimum content required in the publication of this type of files, along with the name of the work and its amount.

The announcement does not include references to European funding, contributions from other administrations, or an execution schedule, details which do not appear in the text published in the bulletin.

Impact on the provincial technological fabric

The publication is of direct interest to telecommunications and computer network installation companies in the province, which have twenty business days to review the project and, if applicable, file an objection. For the Provincial Council, the replacement of the cabling and switches at the Provincial Palace means modernizing the network of a key administrative headquarters, with an amount exceeding 122,000 euros, processed through the ordinary procedure for local works.
