AGAMED has detected a downward trend in the last year in both the number of blockages and the amount of non-biodegradable waste collected in the sewage system.

The building will soon house the new iHub Torretech, a technological innovation service whose objective is to promote entrepreneurship, young talent, startup incubation and local economic development. The new building will have a coworking area, work areas for digital nomads, training classrooms and spaces for workshops and meetings, as well as a hospitality and service area that will be located in the courtyard.

The base tender price for the new contract is 872,147 euros (VAT included) per year, with a duration of 4 years plus a one-year extension, meaning the investment over the next 5 years will amount to 4,360,739 euros.

The works, which run along 1,247 linear meters of the cantilevered walkway, have an investment of 6,543,733 euros (VAT included).

The works include a photovoltaic installation on the building's roof, which will contribute to the complex's energy self-consumption, in line with the sustainability objectives set by the City Council.

The new building will have capacity for 430 students and 50 AGAMED workers, in two completely different spaces. The mayor has highlighted that the integration of the three universities in the University Headquarters of Torrevieja (UA, UMH and UNED) demonstrates that it is possible to collaborate together and open up to all of them to offer the best offer and services to the students of our city. It is expected that by the end of this year the entire building will be fully completed and during the first quarter of 2026, once it has been equipped, it will be opened.

The number of professionals assigned to the service will double, going from 59 to 113, while the number of vehicles and machinery will triple, from 25 to 68 units. The contract covers the maintenance of 362 public spaces, including parks, gardens, squares, sports areas and play areas, totaling more than 2 million square metres, which represents an increase of 800,000 square metres compared to the areas currently maintained, which amount to 1.2 million square metres.

The base budget for the project's tender amounts to 209,760 euros (VAT included), with the planned investment for the execution of the works to adapt and expand the IES Libertas amounting to 3,149,262 euros.
