• Simón Casas and Nautalia, virtual winners of the Las Ventas contest by tripling their rivals in points in Miguel Abellán's report

The Contracting Committee has finally lit the white smoke after analyzing the offers of the three bidding companies: Grupo BMF (Baillères with Chopera), PLAZA VENTAS 237 (Matilla with Ramón Valencia) and Plaza 1 (Nautalia with Simón Casas).

The latter, which won the previous contest in 2017, will continue to lead.

A few days ago Zabala de la Serna advanced in EL MUNDO the advantage acquired in the contest by this company: "The score indicates that the joint venture of Simon Casas Production and Nautalia Viajes SL has tripled the score (30 points out of a total of 35) of their rivals."

Specifically, this report prepared by the Center for Bullfighting Affairs scored the programming of the season covered by 60 celebrations.

The Plaza 1 offer will recharge the summer and reduce the Autumn Fair, according to some sources.

The bidders have practically coincided in the economic section, formed by the rental canon and aid to schools.

Said limited canon and output is 975,000 euros per year that must enter the

Community of Madrid for the operation of the bullring

.

Plaza 1 will allocate 1.2 million to the José Cubero 'Yiyo' school and 202,000 to the rest of the schools in the Community of Madrid.

Nor have they stood out in the item dedicated to publicity and promotion of the party with a spending commitment of 5.5 million euros compared to the 5.2 offered by Matilla and the 6 million put on the table by the Mexican tycoon.

Taking into account the initially mentioned advantage and the 'draw' in the second part of the contest, the score has been as follows: Plaza 1 has achieved a total of 91.40 points compared to the 69.40 obtained by Baillères with Chopera and

at 64.28 achieved by Matilla

with Ramón Valencia.

Plaza 1 will continue to lead Las Ventas for the next four years with the possibility of two more through one-year extensions.

During these months, the procedure has been a continuous source of controversy, which ranged from the suspension of the presentation limit on March 15 -"due to a counting error", they said-, passing through its paralysis when knocking down, after three days,

the Administrative Court of Public Procurement

several points of the specifications through the admission of an appeal, until the drafting of a contract by the emergency route when the June 6 deadline was not reached or the complaint against Miguel Abellán for alleged administrative prevarication.

Precisely, since the report of the managing director of the Center for Bullfighting Affairs was not available, the meeting of the Contracting Committee had to be postponed sine die.

In that report has been the key to the contest.
