The Cartagena City Council will soon initiate the gardening services contract in the West Coast area, awarded to STV company for 184,958.63 euros (including VAT), marking the completion of the tendering and award process that covers the maintenance of parks and gardens throughout the municipality. This strategic action, starting this Tuesday in the West Coast, reaffirms the local government’s commitment to the quality of life of citizens, environmental sustainability, and the improvement of green heritage.

This new contract is part of a management scheme that was divided into «four large zones» to ensure more efficient and specialized attention to each area of the municipality. The investment in these maintenance services, which together doubled the previous expenditure on green areas, from 5 to over 10 million euros, aims to guarantee a more well-kept and enjoyable urban environment for everyone.

The implementation of this comprehensive gardening maintenance contract throughout the municipal area is a demonstration of our effort to offer better environments to the residents of Cartagena, as it is a direct investment in their well-being and the beautification of Cartagena.»
