What is odd about the tender?

The deadline for bids ends one day after the concert. According to Canarias7, firms can bid until 15:00 on 2 November 2026, but the performance is planned for Sunday, 1 November 2026, at 20:30 on the Plaza de San Rafael in Vecindario.

The tender for the production services has been on the Spanish contracting platform since Thursday evening, 22 October 2026. The council is looking for a firm to organise and commission all the necessary services. According to Canarias7, the concert is expected to last about 80 minutes.

The council chose a negotiated procedure without prior publication. The estimated contract budget is 31,565 euros including tax.

Who is behind the contract?

The Gerencia Municipal de Cultura y Deportes de Santa Lucía de Tirajana is awarding the contract. The concert is part of the Fiestas de San Rafael programme.

Canarias7 reports only on the published tender data.

What does this mean for visitors?

Visitors do not need to do anything for now. The available information gives no ticket price, no access restriction, no registration requirement and no special rules.

The source is also silent on road closures, changed opening times or restrictions on public transport. Visitors do not need to apply.

The deadline only affects firms that want to submit a bid. As things stand, anyone who wants to watch can simply turn up at the concert.

Why did the mess come about?

According to Canarias7, the background is a larger events contract for the San Rafael celebrations. The council had put it out to tender in August with a value of 350,000 euros.

The council proposed Out Now Productiones AIE for the award at 308,419.40 euros.

According to Canarias7, Out Now Productiones AIE turned down the contract for the San Rafael celebrations on 14 October 2026 because the required documents were not complete by the deadline. According to Canarias7, Out Now Productiones AIE said the reason for the rejection was that the contract could only have been formalised on 5 November 2026, after the end of the celebrations.

What remains open?

It is unclear whether the concert will go ahead as planned despite the late deadline. It is also not known who will win the contract.

The source does not say whether the council will correct, cancel or later adjust the process. There is no further binding date.

What should visitors do now?

Anyone who wants to attend the concert should check the actual arrangements shortly before 1 November 2026. The council has so far not announced any cancellation or change.

The source gives no information on parking or access routes.
