Narón delegates the contracting of municipal nursery schools to the Mayor's Office

The Plenary of the Narón City Council has delegated to the Mayor’s Office-Presidency the contracting competencies for the file regarding the management service of municipal nursery schools, a preliminary step before the tendering of the service. The agreement was adopted as agreement number 2 of the ordinary session on November 3, 2026, and is published in the Official Gazette of the Province of A Coruña (BOP) number 215, dated November 10, 2026, with the official reference 2026/7266, in the Local Administration section.

The published text is an announcement of “Publication of the delegation of competence in contracting matters in the service management file of the municipal nursery schools (EIMs) of the Narón City Council,” signed in Narón on November 5, 2026, by the mayor-president, Marián Ferreiro Díaz. The publication is made for general knowledge, in accordance with article 9.3 of Law 40/2015, of October 1, on the legal regime of the public sector, in relation to article 51.2 of Royal Decree 2568/1986, of November 28, which approves the Regulation on the organization, functioning, and legal regime of Local Entities.

The same Plenary that delegates approved the initiation of the file in the same session, as stated in the agreement. This means that the administrative processing of the contract is now in the hands of the Mayor’s Office, while the collegiate body retains the final decision on who provides the service.

What is delegated and what remains excluded

• Delegating body: Plenary of the Narón City Council.
• Date of the delegation agreement: November 3, 2026, agreement number 2 of the ordinary session.
• Delegated competencies: powers in contracting matters in the file named “Management service of the municipal nursery schools (EIMs) of the Narón City Council.”
• Delegated body: Mayor’s Office of the Narón City Council.
• Exceptions: the act of award and the allocation of expenses in favor of the awarded company.

The two exceptions are relevant: the Mayor’s Office assumes the management and processing of the procedure, but the award of the contract and the authorization of the expenditure corresponding to the selected company remain with the Plenary. This is, therefore, a delegation limited to the promotion and instruction of the file.

The economic weight of the service

The management service of the municipal nursery schools generates a monthly billing for the user families, documented in the tax registers that the City Council has been publishing in the BOP throughout 2026:

• October 2026: 210 taxpayers and 6,347.04 euros, approved by the Local Government Board in the session of October 15, 2026 (BOP number 201, of October 21, reference 2026/6699).
• September 2026: 5,368.86 euros, by resolution of the Mayor’s Office of September 9, 2026 (BOP number 175, of September 14, reference 2026/5910).
• August 2026: 15 taxpayers and 1,474.15 euros, by resolution of the Mayor’s Office of August 11, 2026 (BOP number 155, of August 17, reference 2026/5354).

These registers correspond to the fees for services provided in municipal nursery schools and are open to the public for 15 days following their publication, with a period of one month for an appeal for reversal and two months for a contentious-administrative appeal before the Contentious-Administrative Court of Ferrol.

The tender will be published in the contractor profile

The agreement establishes that the full text will be published in the City Council’s contractor profile, hosted on the Public Sector Procurement Platform, at the time of the tender call. That is to say, the delegation does not yet open the period for submitting bids, but rather determines who directs the procedure when it is called.

Until that moment, the BOP does not include the publication date of the call, the tender budget, the duration of the contract, nor the award criteria, data which must appear in the tender announcement in the contractor profile. The official reference of this delegation in the provincial bulletin is 2026/7266, corresponding to number 215 of November 10, 2026.

The relevance of the news is that the management service of municipal nursery schools directly affects hundreds of families with children aged 0 to 3: it determines places, schedules, and complementary services, and is the basis for the monthly fees collected by the City Council. With the delegation to the Mayor’s Office, the processing of the contract is concentrated in a single body, which reduces administrative steps before tendering a service that is provided continuously throughout the year.
