Today, installation of beach hammocks and sunshades began on Arenal-Bol beach after the Town Council awarded the contract to SEAWOLF TEAM, S.L. for an annual fee of 280,000 euros. This week, the areas where these services will be located are being marked out and will be operational on both beaches on 12 August. The installation of these beach services has been delayed by several administrative appeals filed by different bidding companies.
Following the resolution of the appeals for reconsideration filed by the various bidders in the award procedure, an initial award proposal was made. However, the bidder proposed as the successful tenderer did not provide the required documentation or the final guarantee, so it was understood that it was withdrawing its bid due to failure to prove its technical solvency, and the Contracting Department proposed a new successful tenderer, which is the one that will finally provide the service.
Seawolf Team will provide sunshade and sunbed services for four seasons. As a new feature, this company offers environmental education staff to carry out awareness campaigns on the beach.
In addition, this year the appearance of the services will change so that the sunbeds, a total of 900 units, will be sand-coloured, more in keeping with the environment, and the sunshades, a total of 700 units, will be made of natural fibre.
