Key Points

  • General Council launches €969K tender for Casa de la Vall restoration phase two.
  • Tender covers phase-one completion, new needs, and exhibition spaces across all floors.
  • Mandatory site visit June 10; bids due July 3.
  • Project includes flooring renewal, accessibility ramps, and exterior restorations; 5-month completion timeline.

The General Council has launched a public tender in the BOPA for the second phase of Casa de la Vall restoration, with a base budget of €968,994.59 including VAT. Published this Wednesday, the national open procedure targets completion of first-phase outstanding work, new needs identified since, and preparation of exhibition spaces across all floors, from basement to attic. Bids are due by 3 July, but companies must first attend a mandatory site visit on 10 June at 3pm to qualify.

Architect Enric Dilmé's project details start in the basement, where a wall and door will seal the corridor linking to the General Council to block drafts, alongside a storage cabinet near reception. Ground-floor updates include a new ticket counter, extra lighting in the shop and hallway, lime mortar replastering in the Corts Tribunal room, removal of a public-area cabinet, and restoration of exterior-facing access doors, windows, and the main entrance portal with the coat of arms.

On the first floor, crews will finish the lift cabin, install audiovisual systems, replace water and electrical infrastructure, restore outer windows, and provide furniture for the Syndic's office. A major component—around a third of the budget—covers full flooring renewal throughout the building, including towers and attic, to strengthen the roof structure and prevent water leaks.

Additional measures encompass accessibility ramps, emergency doors, climate control systems, cabling upgrades, and pending plaster repairs, plus exterior restoration of doors and windows. The contract winner has five months from award to finish, though bid openings are not expected until early July.

Syndic Carles Ensenyat outlined the broader vision last December at the phase-one reopening, aiming for full completion by end-2026 while enhancing safety, sustainability, and authenticity by removing non-original elements. He had hoped for a February tender to stay on track, but the mid-May launch raises questions about meeting that timeline.

Detailed specifications and tender terms are available on the government's procurement platform.
