Motril tenders at 65,234.60 euros the site of its BMX track, the one new tender in seven days

Two days for Ítrabo and twenty-three for Motril

Jump bikes now have a site set aside in Motril. On 9 October Motril town council published the preparation of the plot for a BMX track, a cycling discipline raced on a track with jumps and banked corners, on Ronda de Levante. It is a licitación, a public tender in which companies bid to carry out works or a service, and it is tendered at 65,234.60 euros excluding VAT, that is, before tax. It is only the first phase, the one for the site, and accepts bids until 4 November.
Two days remain to sell materials and hire out machinery to Ítrabo. Ítrabo town council accepts bids until Wednesday 14 October on the Plataforma de Contratación del Sector Público, the official portal where public bodies publish their tenders for works and services, for the supply of building materials and the hire of machinery. It is tendered at 31,372.59 euros excluding VAT and is a supply contract for builders' merchants and hire firms, not works.
What accepts bids today is a tiny share of the works being processed. The two tenders open in the Costa Tropical comarca add up to 96,607.19 euros excluding VAT. The seven works whose deadline has already closed, led by the Gualchos hall, were tendered at 3,668,345.23 euros. For every euro that can still be bid for there are 38 in works that no longer accept bids.

The contract combining design and works to replace the bridge over the river Guadalfeo, on the Barranco de las Viñas y las Madres track, tendered at 422,756.96 euros excluding VAT, closed its bidding period on 6 October. The Plataforma does not yet show which company will do it.

PRODEGRA OBRA CIVIL Y EDIFICACIÓN S.L. is listed on the study room in Calle Madrid in Motril, and DMA DRA CARPINTERIA Y DISEÑO SL on the pavements of Calle Antonio Machado in Salobreña.
Almuñécar and Gualchos account for three works with no known company.

In Gualchos, the multi-purpose municipal hall, tendered at 1,536,541.69 euros excluding VAT, is listed as concluded, that is, the tender is over and the contract has been closed. On its own it accounts for 42 of every 100 euros of the seven works.

The Junta issues two calls people can apply to from all 18 municipalities, one for almond trees and one for student travel

Two of the seven grant notices are open to applications

Anyone growing almond trees in the comarca now has an official notice. On 6 October the agriculture department (Consejería de Agricultura) of the Junta de Andalucía published in the BDNS, the Base de Datos Nacional de Subvenciones, the National Grants Database, the public register where every administration announces its grants, the call for grants to holders of almond farms, the notice that opens the window to apply for a grant. It is regional, applies to the whole comarca, and its official record says who can apply, how much and until when.
Students at teaching centres can apply for support with travel. On 7 October the Junta de Andalucía issued a call for travel grants for students doing the Formación en Centros de Trabajo, the workplace training module, in the 2025/26 academic year. The conditions are in the official record.
Five more Junta records complete the list. Three records of 9 October carry a title that does not make clear whether they accept applications, namely the one from the Agencia Andaluza de Instituciones Culturales for cultural activity in rural areas, another from the Instituto Andaluz de la Mujer and one from the culture and sport department (Consejería de Cultura y Deporte). The remaining two are subvenciones nominativas, named grants, money with a recipient already set, for a university and for a foundation.

From all 18 municipalities people may apply to both Junta calls, the agricultural one for almond trees plus the student travel grants one.
