Ports de les Illes Balears (PortsIB), the public body under the Government of the Balearic Islands, has ensured the continuity of gardening and green area maintenance services at the directly managed ports of Menorca throughout 2025, safeguarding the proper upkeep of port facilities and landscaped areas.
To this end, PortsIB has approved the recognition and payment of gardening works carried out after the expiry of the previous contract, preventing any disruption to a service considered essential for maintaining the quality and appearance of port environments.
The works were carried out by the Illa de Menorca Foundation for Persons with Disabilities, which had been awarded the original contract signed on 21 June 2021 and extended until 31 December 2024. For reasons of public interest and with the contractor’s agreement, the service continued uninterrupted between 1 January and 13 November 2025, before the commencement of the new contract, signed on 14 November 2025.
