Torrevieja awards the contract for cleaning and maintaining beach restrooms for €947,286 for the next four years.

Torrevieja City Council has awarded the contract for the cleaning and maintenance of restrooms on the beaches within the municipality for a total of €947,286 (VAT included) for a four-year term, not including a possible one-year extension.

This contract, awarded to the company RECREATIVOS ACUÁTICOS HORADADA, which amounts to 236,821 euros per year and whose procedure has been opened and subject to harmonized regulation, aims to provide a comprehensive service that guarantees the cleaning, maintenance and repair of the fixed wooden toilets and the new self-cleaning toilets installed along the beaches and coastal areas of the municipality (Waldo Calero Square, Arturo Gómez Square (Juan Aparicio Promenade), Los Marineros Promenade next to the Tintero on Cura Beach and the Perfecta Rodríguez and Encarnación Puchol squares in La Mata).

The Councilor for Beaches, Antonio Vidal, emphasized that this contract improves the service currently being provided, as it increases the number of toilets to be maintained and cleaned, as well as their seasonality. They were currently in service during Easter and summer, and with the new contract, they will be in service year-round (365 days a year), from 9:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. Furthermore, the number of toilets on the beaches has increased from 9 to 22 across all units.

" We're talking about an essential project to maintain the level of quality our residents and tourists deserve in the busy beach areas. With this contract, we renew our commitment to the Torrevieja coastline and take a leap forward in quality," said Antonio Vidal.

The new service includes masonry, plumbing, carpentry, electrical, painting, and other corrective maintenance repairs, as well as an on-call service to address emergencies and situations that pose a risk to safety or health.

The Beaches Councilor stated that this new contract aims to move toward a more efficient and centralized management model, which will allow the City Council to respond quickly and effectively to any incident.

The contract was awarded based on the best value for money, assessing both the financial offer and technical improvements, including an increase in the minimum cleaning frequency to three times a day year-round and specific training for the staff responsible for the service.

" We want anyone who comes to enjoy our beaches to do so with full guarantees. This contract responds to the current reality of intensive use of the coastline and reinforces Torrevieja's image as a top-tier tourist destination," concluded Antonio Vidal.
