Valverde puts the bar-cafeteria of the La Virgen del Camino swimming pools out to tender

The Valverde de la Virgen City Council has opened the tender for the private use public domain concession linked to the operation of the bar-cafeteria facilities located at the municipal swimming pools of La Virgen del Camino. The tender was approved by agreement of the Local Government Board on November 5, 2026, which gave the green light to file 1744/2026, and is published in the Official Gazette of the Province of León number 215, dated November 12, 2026, with official reference BOP-LE-2026-215014. The starting fee is set at 6,000 euros, and interested parties will have 15 days to submit their offers.

The call is processed by the municipal Secretariat and follows the formula of a private use public domain concession: the successful bidder does not receive a service contract, but rather the right to operate a municipal public domain space—the bar-cafeteria of the swimming pool complex—in exchange for a periodic fee. The bidding amount is established at 6,000 euros, an amount which, according to the announcement, “may be improved upwards,” meaning that companies can compete by offering a higher rent for the occupancy.

Object, fee, and guarantees

The object of the contract is the operation of the bar-cafeteria service located at the municipal swimming pools of La Virgen del Camino, a district of the municipality of Valverde de la Virgen. The economic and legal conditions of the operation are detailed in the specifications governing the call, and specifically in the Particular Administrative Clauses Specifications.

The highlighted economic aspects of the announcement are as follows:

• Base bidding fee: 6,000 euros, improvable upwards.
• Required guarantee: 5% of the final offered fee, in accordance with the Particular Administrative Clauses Specifications.
• Call requirements: those determined in the governing specifications.
• Documentation to be submitted: that referred to in the administrative clauses specifications.

Fifteen days to submit offers

The deadline for submitting offers and requests for participation is 15 days from the publication of the announcement in the Official Gazette of the Province of León, meaning the count begins on November 13, 2026. Proposals must be submitted at the offices of the Valverde de la Virgen City Council, at Avenida Camino de Santiago number 110, postal code 24391.

Information and documentation for the file can be obtained at the municipal Secretariat itself, during public office hours from 9:00 to 14:00, via the email info@aytovalverdedelavirgen.es and at the electronic office https://aytovalverdedelavirgen.sedelectronica.es.

A service linked to the swimming pool complex

The bar-cafeteria is part of the facilities of the municipal swimming pools of La Virgen del Camino, the most populous town in the municipality and the de facto headquarters for a large part of the municipal services. The concession is framed by the seasonal sports facilities calendar and transfers the responsibility of maintaining the venue’s catering service to the successful bidder.

The announcement is signed by the mayor, David Fernández Blanco, and is included in the first section of the provincial bulletin, among announcements from other town halls in the province. The published text does not detail the duration of the concession nor a mandatory investment amount, details which are referred to the specifications.

The tender is relevant for small businesses and the hospitality sector of the Alfoz Leonés region, which thus gain access to an operational space in a high-traffic summer environment with a limited initial outlay, but with the requirement to pay an annual fee to the city council and to assume the daily operation of the service during the swimming season.
