The contest of the Ferris wheel proposed for Corralejo is deserted.

The proposal received in the city council was discarded as it did not conform to the requirements of the specifications detailed in the tender

The tourist attraction project proposed by the City Council of La Oliva, municipality in which the tourist town of Corralejo is located, seems to have lost steam after the little interest shown by potential investors in it.



The tender, published at the beginning of March for the construction of a Ferris wheel more than 40 meters high from which the Natural Park of the dunes of Corralejo, the islet of Lobos and the neighboring Lanzarote would be seen, has been declared "deserted".



The majorero consistory received the offer of a single company, which was discarded because the documents provided did not conform to the requirements of the specifications detailed in the tender, in addition to not providing management and exploitation projects.



The budget of the tender was 640,000 euros and included the "administrative concession for the private use" of an area of land owned by the municipality for "the installation, operation and conservation of a Ferris wheel".



The project proposed the construction of a panoramic Ferris wheel between 40 and 55 meters high, with closed cabins and rigorous security and accessibility systems, as well as air conditioning.



According to the published bases, the attraction had to have a fixed part, but the structure had to be formed by removable or portable elements, constituted by modules, which would facilitate its removal if necessary.

The proposal for the panoramic Ferris wheel of Corralejo falls again.

The proposal for the second tender is deserted because Orion Global Hospitality again does not meet the minimum requirements

There will be no panoramic Ferris wheel in La Oliva, at least not in this second attempt, there could be a third attempt but the consistory has again decided to leave deserted the proposal aimed at allowing the installation of a large tourist Ferris wheel on a plot owned by the city council, advances the digital edition of Canarias 7.



The budget of the tender was 640,000 euros and included the "administrative concession for the private use" of an area of land owned by the municipality for "the installation, operation and conservation of a Ferris wheel".



The project proposed the construction of a panoramic Ferris wheel between 40 and 55 meters high, with closed cabins and rigorous safety and accessibility systems, as well as air conditioning.


In the first instance, the proposal includes the basic requirements requested by the northern Consistory. These include the operator's commitment to make an annual royalty payment of a minimum amount above €42,600.



The decision was taken on November 28 and is based on the fact that in the only proposal registered in time and form, there are relevant shortcomings, as it does not conform to the basic principles of the tender.



The evaluation of the approach made by the company Orion Global Hospitality does not give rise to any corrections. On this basis, the contracting committee, by unanimous vote of its members, decided that the tender was inadmissible and that the bidder was excluded.
