The appeal by PreZero España has halted the €5.3 million waste collection contract tender in Los Montesinos, which aimed to introduce door-to-door rubbish collection and improve street cleaning. The contract, the largest ever put out to tender by the town council, would have covered household waste collection, street sweeping, and cleaning services.
PreZero claims that the staffing costs included in the tender documents do not match the actual costs of the employees the successful contractor would need to retain. The town council has suspended the bidding process while the Central Administrative Court of Contractual Appeals considers the case. This development delays the proposed service, which was expected to cost the council around €538,000 annually.
The appeal also leaves the municipality with significant investments already made towards the new collection model, including €527,000 for preparations using European funding.
