Santa Susanna opens the Social Club bar for public information

The Santa Susanna City Council has approved the Specific Administrative Clauses Document that shall govern the granting of the public domain concession for private use of the municipal premises intended for a bar-cafeteria at the municipality’s Social Center. The agreement was reached by the City Council Plenary in the session of October 27, 2026, and the announcement is published in the Official Gazette of the Province of Barcelona on October 30, 2026, with the official reference CVE 202610160228 on page 1-1. The text, signed by the mayor, Joan Campolier Montsant, submits the clauses and all documentation of the file to the public information process.

The operation is a public domain concession for private use: the City Council grants the operation of a municipally-owned space, not the ownership, and does so under a set of clauses that establish the conditions of the service. The announcement is part of the series of local administration announcements in the provincial gazette corresponding to October 30, 2026, and is the document through which the council formally activates the procedure.

Ten-year duration and a single five-year extension

The approved clauses establish the rules of the operating contract. According to the announcement, the regime includes:

• An initial duration of ten years.
• A possible single extension of five years, which would be added to the initial period.
• A risk and venture regime borne by the concessionaire, meaning the economic operation of the activity assumes its own result.
• The corresponding fee for the use of the municipal premises.
• The conditions for the operation of the activity, which are detailed in the clauses and must be complied with by the bidder.

The announcement does not specify the amount of the fee or other economic figures in these lines, which appear in the clauses and the documentation of the file submitted for consultation. The total possible duration therefore reaches fifteen years if the extension is exercised.

Thirty days to submit claims and allegations

The public information process is opened by agreement of the Plenary and is carried out through two simultaneous channels:

• The display of the clauses and the file on the City Council notice board.
• The publication of the corresponding announcement in the Official Gazette of the Province of Barcelona.

The deadline is thirty days and is intended to allow interested parties to submit any claims and allegations they deem appropriate during this period. The announcement is dated October 30, 2026, and was signed in Santa Susanna on October 27, 2026, by the mayor, Joan Campolier Montsant.

A municipal facility with granted private use

The premises subject to the concession are municipally owned and are intended for use as a bar-cafeteria within the Local Social, a key facility for neighborhood and associative activity in the municipality. The chosen formula allows for the maintenance of public ownership of the space while transferring its operation to a private operator for a long period, with a fee as consideration.

The specific evaluation criteria, the required administrative and technical documentation, and the details of the fee are not reproduced in the announcement, but are part of the specifications and the file, which remain available for consultation by anyone interested during the exhibition period.

The relevance of the news is twofold: for restaurateurs and entrepreneurs in the region, it is an opportunity to operate a municipal space with a ten-year extendable horizon; for the residents of Santa Susanna, the process opens the door to deciding who manages the bar of the town’s main social facility, with a thirty-day window to make contributions before the procedure continues.
