The agreement, adopted in an extraordinary session with the aim of streamlining the procedure, is published in the Official Gazette of the Province of Huesca No. 198, dated Thursday, October 15, 2026, under reference BOPH-2026-198014. The action is financed through the POS 2026.

The Plenary agreement and its scope

The announcement, processed by the municipal Secretariat and titled “Delegation to the Mayor’s Office of the contracting powers for the work ‘Drinking water storage pond in Linás de Marcuello’”, occupies a single page within the Local Administration section, under the City Councils heading, and bears announcement number 4539.

The text specifies that the delegation refers to the exercise of powers as the contracting body for the works contract for the execution of the pond, and that the measure responds to the desire to streamline the procedure. The agreement is signed by the Mayor-President, Roberto Orós Constante, and dated in Loarre on October 14, 2026, the same day as the plenary session.

• Delegating body: the Plenary of the Loarre City Council.
• Body assuming the power: the Mayor’s Office.
• Object: the contracting of the construction of the drinking water storage pond.
• Location: nucleus of Linás de Marcuello, municipality of Loarre (Huesca).
• Date of agreement: October 14, 2026, in an extraordinary session.
• Publication: Official Gazette of the Province of Huesca No. 198, dated October 15, 2026.

Financing through the POS 2026

The work is financed through the POS 2026, the Provincial Plan for Economic Cooperation for Works and Services of municipal competence of the Provincial Council of Huesca. This plan was definitively approved and published in the Official Gazette of the Province of Huesca No. 60, dated March 30, 2026, as stated in other announcements from the provincial corporation included in the same gazette.

The Loarre announcement does not detail the amount of the subsidy nor the bidding budget for the pond, details which do not appear in the published text. Nor are the execution period or the technical characteristics of the infrastructure specified.

Delegating to streamline processing

The delegation of contracting powers from municipal plenaries to mayors’ offices is a common formula among the province’s city councils to shorten administrative times. Similar announcements published in the same bulletin are based on Article 9.3 of Law 40/2015, of October 1, on the Legal Regime of the Public Sector, and Article 22.4 of Law 7/1985, of April 2, Regulating the Bases of the Local Regime.

In the case of Loarre, the plenary agreement is limited to transferring the status of contracting body for the works contract to the Mayor’s Office, with the stated aim of accelerating the procedures. The publication in the official bulletin reports the agreement and makes it public.

Impact on supply and construction companies

The action directly affects the supply of the nucleus of Linás de Marcuello, within the municipality of Loarre, and opens the door to the bidding of a public works contract that interested construction companies may attend to.

The publication of the agreement in the Official Gazette of the Province of Huesca turns the file into a matter of monitoring for the residents of Linás de Marcuello, who are awaiting a drinking water storage infrastructure, and for the province’s construction business fabric, which already knows the body that will process the contract: the Mayor’s Office of Loarre.
