Government changes funding for road cleaning in four regional lots
Ordinance No. 355/2026 amends and redistributes funding for verge maintenance services in four sections of the regional road network, with a total value exceeding 1.9 million euros.
The Regional Government has approved an amendment and redistribution of budgetary charges for a contract for cleaning and maintenance of regional roads. The measure covers four distinct lots and is formalised in Ordinance No. 355/2026.
The procedure in question is the "Acquisition of Verge Maintenance Services for Cleaning Roads, Verges, Ditches and Embankments on Various Sections of the Regional Road Network 2025/2028", originally approved by Ordinance No. 77/2026. The new values and their distribution by financial years are as follows:
- Lot 1 - 1st Section: Total value of €402,962.76. Distribution: 2026 (€55,967.05), 2027 (€134,320.92), 2028 (€134,320.92), 2029 (€78,353.87).
- Lot 2 - 2nd Section: Total value of €610,585.80. Distribution: 2026 (€84,803.58), 2027 (€203,528.60), 2028 (€203,528.60), 2029 (€118,725.02).
- Lot 3 - 3rd Section: Total value of €355,653.36. Distribution: 2026 (€49,396.30), 2027 (€118,551.12), 2028 (€118,551.12), 2029 (€69,154.82).

The total amount for the four lots amounts to €1,905,063.24. The ordinance establishes that the value for each year may be increased by the balance from the previous year and that VAT at the applicable legal rate applies to these values. The expenditure for 2026 has guaranteed budgetary coverage, with the funds for the following years being dependent on the respective budget proposals.
