Government of Cantabria technical project via MITECO, plan 3.0 dated November 2024; design intent, not as-built or progress evidence

The award confirms a three-company UTE and marine scope, including 12,880 cubic metres of dredging, 223 metres of pontoons, 18 piles and 86 berths, while contract and mobilisation remain unverified.

A live award converts a design record into a procurement watch

The award resolution controls the three-member UTE, value, offer count, duration trigger, price review and guarantee. The technical project controls planned quantities and method assumptions but is not progress evidence. UTE members are not subcontractors. No signed contract, setting-out act, plant mobilisation, downstream appointment, executed quantity or acceptance record is public as of 9 August 2026.

The UTE award leaves contract and mobilisation unconfirmed

Marine awards are often flattened into a single contractor field. Here, three companies jointly form the awardee, so none should be relabelled as a subcontractor. The delivery chain still has unresolved appointments across dredging plant, sediment transport and disposal, pontoon supply, piling, utilities and marine support. Those gaps become actionable only when contract, setting-out and mobilisation evidence appears.

Evidence conclusion

The evidence stops before contract execution

The 7 August resolution establishes award value, party and future contract terms. It explicitly leaves a standstill before formalization and ties the 24-month clock to a viable setting-out act. The November 2024 design quantifies dredging, pontoons, piles, berths, utilities and sediment routing. That specificity supports supply-chain monitoring, but it cannot identify actual plant, suppliers or subcontractors. The record therefore remains at award stage, with contract, setting-out, mobilisation and lower-tier evidence tracked as separate gates.

Outstanding evidence

  • Contract formalization and viable setting-out act
  • First dredging and piling mobilisation
  • Dredging plant, marine transport and disposal operators
  • Pontoon, finger, pile and service-pedestal suppliers
  • Harbour-operability and small-craft access controls
  • Measured quantities, monthly certifications and variations
  • Reception, guarantee commencement and final value
