The Local Government of Torrevieja has awarded a substantial new contract for the maintenance of green spaces and public areas, amounting to one hundred eleven million and forty-three thousand euros, including taxes. The contract has been granted to ACTÚA SERVICIOS MEDIOAMBIENTE S.L., which delivered a bid that undercuts the initial proposed budget by two million nine hundred eleven thousand seven hundred forty-six euros.

This contract is divided into two main sections: the maintenance of green spaces, which encompasses parks, gardens, and ornamental fountains, representing a budget of one hundred two million eight hundred fifteen thousand forty-four euros and a duration of fifteen years; and the execution of improvements to green areas, amounting to eight million two hundred twenty-seven thousand nine hundred seventy euros over four years.

The new agreement will expand service coverage to over two million square metres of green spaces, including parks, squares, sports areas, and children’s play areas, marking an increase of eight hundred thousand square metres compared to the current service area. Additional responsibilities will include managing irrigation systems and ornamental fountains while excluding public lighting from the contract’s purview.

The increase in resources will significantly enhance service delivery, doubling the number of personnel from fifty-nine to one hundred thirteen and increasing the fleet of vehicles from twenty-five to sixty-eight. The introduction of real-time monitoring and advanced management technologies will focus on sustainability and efficiency, resulting in improved experiences for the citizens of Torrevieja as they benefit from a healthier urban environment.
