He Majorca Council announced its intention to open the Calvià ITV from January 2025, after the Central Administrative Court for Contractual Resources ruled in favor of the Consell de Mallorca the appeal filed against the allocation of the new ITV service.
The award was awarded last July to the company ITV Vega Baja for an amount of 33.7 million euros over two years. This resolution will mean that At the start of 2025, the measures provided for in the new contract to reduce waiting lists come into forceas indicated by the island institution in a press release.
The appeal was presented by the current concession company against the act of award to ITV Vega Baja due to discrepancies with the evaluations and technical solvency accreditations. The Contractual Court of Appeal has decided to paralyze the judgment process during the hearing of the appeal, which means that “Improvements to the ITV service failed to come into effect in October as planned”Cosnell added.
This court has now decided to dismiss the appeal, knowing that the appellant participated in the competition and thatThe contractual process carried out by the Consell de Mallorca was “totally transparent and compliant with the law”. Immediately afterwards, it lifts the suspension of the procedure and gives the Consell the power to undertake the new attribution of the service to ITV Vega Baja for two years.
The new successful bidder has the obligation to increase the number of annual inspections by 100,000, which means go from 402,000 annual technical inspections to 502,000. Likewise, the new contract provides for the opening of the new station in the Son Bugadelles industrial zone in Calvià, with 9,000 monthly inspections starting in January.
All this will be possible with an increase in staff. up to 55 new workers, including 30 for the new Calvià station and the rest will be distributed to the resorts of Palma, Inca and Manacor.
It is good to remember that Over the past year, the Consell de Mallorca has made great efforts to reduce the waiting list. Among other things, the contract for the Calvià mobile station, which was due to close in June 2023, was extended, which would have resulted in the cancellation of more than 4,000 monthly inspections.
Furthermore, has been open on Saturdays for several months to speed up inspections. Now, with the new contract, it is expected that the service will have many fewer days of waiting to pass the technical inspection of vehicles.

Another improvement of the new contract is the integration of the F-Brake braking evaluation system for commercial vehicles, buses and trucks at all five ITV stations. Until now, these types of vehicles had to pass inspection under load, to measure braking and now this will no longer be necessary. This will reduce inspection time and eliminate inconvenience for transport professionals.
