The City of Águilas has put out to public tender the service of surveillance and rescue on beaches for which the Consistory pays annually more than 265,000 euros.
A fact that, assured the mayor of Finance, Tomás Consentino, "responds solely and exclusively to a legal imperative: The new Public Sector Contracts Law, under the Ministry of Finance of the Government of Spain, which came into force last March. , as well as the pronouncements on this issue both the Court of Auditors and the Central Court for Contracting force the City to tender contracts that amount to as high as this, thus ensuring transparency and free competition "
In the same line, Consentino has remarked that this situation is not unique in our municipality and has stated that "municipalities like Mazarrón are also currently immersed in this process".
It should be noted that a total of two bidders have been submitted and are currently awaiting the report of the Contracting Committee.
