To all of you who were expectantly waiting for the award of a contract, and the building of a new bus station, and a fleet of shiny new electric buses, it isn't going to happen anytime soon - why? The Spanish court which decides on unfair contract terms has just ruled that the tender put out by Señor Dolon and compadres was anti-competitive, because it's requirement that the successful bidder buys twelve of the new buses from the ayumento (effectively an up-front payment of €19 million), discriminated in favour of larger companies, and against small to medium sized bidders. This is an incredibly stupid thing to have done. Dolon and co will not have been unaware of the anti-competitive nature of such contract terms, but one assumes they were banking on the fact that none of the bidders would challenge the them, but that is exactly what one of the companies did. In my opinion it looks as though Dolon and co just can't help themselves - their apparent avarice and dubious financial dealings in this instance (amongst others), has resulted in a disservice to the people of Torrevieja You can read more about this pathetic and sorry tale via the link veryhelfully posted by Badger below .
