The Port Authority of the Balearic Islands (APB) has put out to tender the contract for the refurbishment of the first floor of Building A of the port of La Savina, situated in the Levante dock, between the Commercial and the fishing docks. After the refurbishment, the building will house the APB offices, which are currently located in the Casa del Mar building.

The offices of other public services that currently share the Casa del Mar building will also be moved to the new facilities. These include the Maritime Authority, the Social Marine Institute, the Marine Reserve des Freus and the Consell de Formentera.

The first floor of the new building will therefore house the offices, the control centre and changing rooms of the APB, offices for the Consell de Formentera, Maritime Authority and the Marine Reserve, a medical office, as well as a cafeteria, library, conference room, archive rooms, storage rooms and toilets.

The ground floor will continue to be used for commercial purposes. Work will also be carried out on the entrances in the central inner courtyard of the building, improving accessibility and the institutional image of the port offices and administrations.

Modernisation of the facilities

The aim of this move is to make a series of improvements to optimise space in the administrative offices, improve accessibility for users and workers, and renew and update the image and working environment of the public administrations.

The APB investment budget is €1,318,572 and the duration is 6 months from the start of the works. The deadline for receiving offers is 2 March 2021. Interested parties may submit their applications through the APB Electronic Bidding Portal.
