A patrimonial asset with mandatory commercial purpose

The property, with cadastral reference 2357126TJ4525N0001YE, has the legal classification of a patrimonial asset as it is not assigned to any municipal public use or service. The contract is classified as private in accordance with Article 9.2 of Law 9/2017, of November 8, on Public Sector Contracts, and is therefore excluded from the scope of said regulation.

The legal framework is completed, in order of precedence, by Law 7/1985, of April 2, Regulating the Bases of the Local Regime; the consolidated text approved by Royal Legislative Decree 781/1986, of April 18; the Regulation of Assets of Local Entities (Royal Decree 1372/1986, of June 13); and, subsidiarily, Law 33/2003, on the Heritage of Public Administrations. The preparation and award are administrative in nature, while its effects and termination are governed by private law.

The purpose is exclusive: the operation of a retail business that guarantees the supply of basic necessity products to the population of the municipality. The contracting body is the Mayor’s Office-Presidency, assisted by the municipal Secretariat-Intervention.

The Mayor’s Office-Presidency will resolve within five days from the evaluation proposal.

Obligations of the successful bidder and deadlines

The lessee must keep the premises open to the public for a minimum of five hours daily from Monday to Saturday, permanently have basic necessity products available (milk, bread, eggs, sugar, and analogues), and supply fresh meat and fish at least two days per week.

If the tender remains vacant, the City Council may award directly due to limited demand in accordance with article 107.1 of Law 33/2003. An optional appeal for reversal may be filed against the specifications and the award within one month, or a contentious-administrative appeal within two months.

The operation seeks to guarantee a basic service in a small municipality, where the continuity of local commerce affects the daily lives of the residents. The minimum rent of 2,400 euros per year and the requirement for minimum hours and assortment set the conditions that the future lessee must meet.
