New security company for Ibercaja Estadio

According to Sport, security at the Ibercaja Estadio—the Real Zaragoza’s temporary home while La Romareda is rebuilt—will be handled by Compañía de Vigilancia Aragonesa SL. The company will begin from October and the contract will run for one year, with an option to extend it for a further six months if the conditions are met.

A change forced by circumstances

The switch comes after the previous provider, Security Services Kuo SL, went bankrupt, as the outlet reports, last July. That led Nueva Romareda to launch a new tender. The winning bid is 575,262.27 euros (VAT included), closely aligned with the base price used for the call, and it includes a pool of 51 security guards.

Urgency contracts and deadlines

The earlier agreement was worth 653,385.60 euros and covered two years, but after only the first year it was disrupted by the bankruptcy, so a new process was required. Following that, Nueva Romareda had to sign an emergency contract with Alerta y Soluciones de Seguridad SL, which has been in charge of Ibercaja Estadio since August 1. That emergency service, valued at over 117,000 euros, will continue until October 11.

In the tender, Alerta y Soluciones de Seguridad SL also bid for the new contract, competing only against Compañía de Vigilancia Aragonesa SL. However, its offer (around 441,000 euros) was rejected because it exceeded the maximum price in two sections, so the contract was awarded to Compañía de Vigilancia Aragonesa SL on Thursday, as reported by Sport.

The same source adds that La Romareda’s opening is planned for August 2027, while the modular field at Actur is set to cover the club’s needs until 2030.
