Sant Martí de Centelles puts out to tender the concession of the Restaurant de l'Oller

The Plenary of the Sant Martí de Centelles City Council, in the session of November 2, 2026, initially approved the project for the public domain concession for private use of the Restaurant de l’Oller and its linked spaces and equipment, as well as the specifications for economic, administrative, and technical clauses and their annexes. The agreement is published in the Official Gazette of the Province of Barcelona on November 11, 2026 (reference 4011297, CVE 202610165240) and opens a public information process of thirty business days. The minimum fee set is 4,500 euros per year, with an initial duration of fifteen years and two possible extensions of five years each.

The procedure is framed within article 66.1 of Decree 336/1988, of October 17, which approves the Regulations on the assets of local entities, which requires the project and specifications to be submitted for public exhibition before the award. The administrative file is 563/2026 and the complete documentation can be consulted at the municipal offices and on the City Council’s Transparency Portal. The announcement is signed by the mayor, Núria Roca Carrasco, dated November 3, 2026.

A package of uses that goes beyond the restaurant

The concession is not limited to the gastronomic operation of the property: the specifications incorporate a set of obligations and assignments of use that the concessionaire must assume.

• Operation of the Restaurant de l’Oller and its linked spaces and equipment.
• Obligations linked to the Municipal Tourist Information Point.
• Use of the Barraca.
• Actions regarding the Lime Kiln (Forn de Calç).
• Mandatory expansion of the kitchen and the dining room, at the expense of the concessionaire.

This set of services turns the tender into a hybrid contract, where the economic performance of the restaurant is conditioned by tourist information services and the conservation of the municipality’s heritage elements.

Fifteen years in duration and a minimum fee of 4,500 euros

The economic and temporal terms are fixed in the approved documentation:

• Minimum fee: 4,500 euros per year.
• Initial duration: fifteen years.
• Extensions: two, of five years each.
• Maximum temporal ceiling: twenty-five years of operation.

The mandatory investment in the expansion of the kitchen and dining room falls entirely on the awardee, an element that the specifications include as a condition of the concession and not as an optional improvement.

Thirty business days to submit allegations

The project and specifications are submitted for public information for thirty business days counted from the day after the publication of the announcement in the provincial gazette, that is, starting from November 12, 2026, with simultaneous exhibition on the municipal notice board.

• Interested parties may examine the documentation at the municipal offices and on the Transparency Portal.
• Claims and allegations shall be submitted to the municipal registry through legally admitted means.
• If none are filed, the project and specifications will be definitively approved without the need for a new plenary agreement.
• If any are submitted, they must be resolved before continuing the procedure.

The Plenary also approved the call for the public tender, but the tender announcement is postponed until the public information process is completed, in accordance with article 66.2 of the same regulation and under the terms of the plenary agreement.

The decision directly affects the tourism and restaurant fabric of Sant Martí de Centelles: it fixes the operation of a reference facility for a quarter of a century, imposes private investments in the kitchen and dining room, and links the gastronomic business to the operation of the municipal tourist information point. Sector operators now have thirty business days to influence the terms before the tender is published.
