Contract route
PLACSP expediente 4.1.82/25 records three offers and award on 6 August 2026. The tender baseline is EUR 3,025,717.93 excluding VAT and EUR 3,661,118.70 including VAT; the award is EUR 2,647,200.62 excluding VAT, EUR 555,912.13 VAT and EUR 3,203,112.75 including VAT. The award resolution was signed and published on 7 August. It states that formalization cannot occur until 15 business days after award notification and then must follow within five calendar days of the contracting body's request, so the award is not evidence of a signed contract.
Execution window
The award resolution sets 24 months from the day after a viable setting-out and feasibility-check act, applies price-review formula 332 for dredging except rock and provides a 12-month guarantee after positive reception. No signed contract, setting-out act, execution-clock start, monthly certification, reception record or guarantee commencement is public as of 9 August 2026.
Works package
The November 2024 technical project restores the shallow harbour basin and reorganizes the small-craft facility. It specifies approximately 12,880 cubic metres of dredging to restore about +1.00 metre relative to Port of Suances zero in internal channels and pontoon areas; two main rows providing 86 berths, including 38 for 6.5-metre boats and 48 for 8-metre boats; approximately 223 linear metres of 2-metre-wide aluminium 6005 floating pontoons with fingers and gangways; 18 guide piles of 500-millimetre diameter with 252 metres total pile length; about 2,325 square metres of intertidal cleaning and regrading; a 305-square-metre pedestrian area; a 1,465-square-metre concrete boat-handling, launch and recovery area; a 1,322-metre aerial and underground electrical connection; and 22 water-and-electricity service pedestals on the pontoons.
Marine interfaces
The design links dredging, navigation, temporary small-craft access, pontoon and pile installation, tidal working, electrical and water connections, boat handling and environmental control. The dredged sediment assessment routes approximately 12,880 cubic metres as non-hazardous material after marine dredging, transport, temporary dewatering or drying and delivery to an authorized onshore facility. A self-propelled hopper or scow and truck route appear in the design methodology, but they are tender-stage assumptions rather than evidence of the awardee's selected plant or logistics chain.
Commercial evidence boundary
EUR 2,647,200.62 is the excluding-VAT award value, EUR 555,912.13 is VAT and EUR 3,203,112.75 is the including-VAT total; none is a signed final account or certified spend. The three named companies are members of the awarded UTE, not disclosed subcontractors. Subcontracting is permitted under the procurement terms, but no downstream package allocation or supplier is evidenced.

Three-company UTE awarded the harbour upgrade

Cantabria selected SERANCO, ESTRUCTURAS CONDAL and CONSTRUCCIONES Y EXCAVACIONES ANIBAL at EUR 2,647,200.62 excluding VAT, while contract formalization and mobilisation remain unconfirmed.

Source

Works procurement notice published

Publication opened competition against a EUR 3,025,717.93 excluding-VAT baseline and a 24-month delivery framework before any awardee had been selected.

Source

Public-domain concession consultation opened

MITECO published the concession and technical-project material, establishing the harbour footprint and design evidence layer rather than construction progress.

Source

Integral harbour-upgrade design baseline dated

The technical project fixed the dredging, floating-harbour, piling, landside and utility design quantities; those quantities remain planned until measured execution is published.
