ISSM is authorised to commit €142,053.48 between 2026 and 2029 to renew support for ADENORMA on Madeira's North Coast.
The Madeira Social Security Institute, IP-RAM (ISSM), is authorised to commit budgetary expenditure of €142,053.48 between 2026 and 2029 to renew funding for ADENORMA - Associação de Desenvolvimento da Costa Norte da Madeira, which pays a technical team of two professionals with higher education qualifications. The decision is set out in Portaria n.º 637/2026, published in the Jornal Oficial on 4 November 2026, signed by Regional Secretary for Finance Duarte Nuno Nunes de Freitas and Regional Secretary for Inclusion, Labour and Youth Paula Cristina Baptista Margarido.
The portaria renews Atypical Agreement n.º 7/2020, concluded between ISSM and ADENORMA. An atypical agreement is a funding agreement that does not follow one of the standard models provided for in the regulations. The support is intended to strengthen the social response of Social Reception/Support.
The original agreement took effect on 1 November 2020, with a four-year term, automatically renewable for equal periods unless terminated or denounced. The multi-year commitment for the period from 1 November 2023 to 31 October 2026 had already been authorised. The Regional Government now decides on a further renewal for three more years, justified by the value of the social activity carried out and the favourable assessment of the cooperation. The renewal takes effect on 1 November 2026.
The monthly contribution is currently set at €3,945.93. This amount already includes the updates made by Resolutions of the Regional Government Council n.ºs 1205/2021, 951/2022, 1364/2022, 1473/2023 and 1503/2023.
The total of €142,053.48 is distributed as follows:
Each year's commitments may not exceed these amounts, but they may be increased by the balance recorded in the previous year. Working the figures through, the amounts for 2027 and 2028 correspond to twelve times the current monthly contribution, that for 2026 to two months and that for 2029 to ten months. The portaria does not explain the reason for this difference.
ISSM is authorised to increase the annual amounts by updating the monthly contribution, without further formalities, provided budgetary coverage exists and without prejudice to Article 13 of Decree-Law n.º 127/2012. Updates will be set by future resolutions of the Regional Government Council.
The 2026 expenditure of €7,891.86 will be paid from budget line DA113003, economic classification D.04.07.03.01.99, using funds from the ISSM budget. The commitments and obligations were recorded in the Financial Information System (SIF), which supports budget execution, under numbers 2826013799 and 2926013678. The following years are recorded as future-year commitments, in the SIF under number 2926013682 and in the Central System for Multi-Year Commitments under number 0112026/2026. Funds for 2027, 2028 and 2029 must be entered in the respective budgets.
The portaria is an instrument of the Regional Government authorising expenditure. It relies on Decree-Law n.º 155/92, the regime organising the financial administration of the State, and the Law on Commitments and Late Payments (Law n.º 8/2012), as well as Legislative Decree of the Autonomous Region n.º 11/2015/M. Commitments extending over more than one economic year are termed multi-year. The portaria enters into force on the day after its publication.
Regional Government opens tender to hand management of the Santa Teresinha Establishment in Ponta do Sol to a social institution for 20 years.
