Ibermática (owned by Ayesa), an international provider of technological and engineering services, and Imesapi, owned by the French group Vinci and previously by Grupo ACS, those who are carrying out the work of the Chira Soria jump in the south of Gran Canaria, have forced to the state entity Red.es to modify the Maspalomas Smart Destination contract because the San Bartolomé city council is slow as a turtle when it comes to setting the execution conditions, valued at 3,9 million euros with European funds.
The UTE has asked to change the execution process due to "the delay by the City Council in contracting fiber access, fixed IP addresses and SIM cards necessary to provide connectivity to the equipment installed in certain locations, as well as the delay by of the City Council in the choice and adaptation of a valid location for the installation of the component, the Control Center, have caused the contractor to complete certain installations, while others depend on the circumstances indicated above", states the text that has authorized Red.es and to which Maspalomas24H has had access.
This plan went out to competition in 2021 with the objective of converting the municipality of San Bartolomé de Tirajana into a Smart Tourist Destination and implementing a tourism intelligence system, which allows intelligent, sustainable and inclusive growth, which offers useful information to the visitor to organize and enjoy your trip, inspiring you in the decision and guiding you throughout the process, generating information and knowledge at the service of companies, institutions and citizens. It was awarded in March 2022. The department of Rediris and Digital Public Services issued a report in 2024 requesting the modification of the contract, which was not provided for in the specifications.
This 2024 the state entity Red.es and the UTE formed by Ibermática (Ayesa) and Imesapi have had to change the rules of the contract because "in the execution phase of the contract, the existence of various supervening circumstances of different nature has become evident that make it difficult to comply with the established billing milestones "because the pace planned when the document was designed has not been executed." For all this, in order to "minimize the impact that these unforeseen circumstances" damage "the financial balance of the project" to speed up the implementation, "it is essential to carry out a contract modification that allows the adaptation of the billing milestones of the contract, making them more flexible to contemplate the billing of the installations carried out as they are accepted, adapting the billing to the real situation in which the project is being executed.
