Answer

How can Mallorca stop unreliable companies from winning beach concessions?

Authorities can require stronger financial guarantees, better proof of solvency and more evidence of past experience. It also helps if tax and social security checks are linked more directly to tender decisions, so weak bidders are identified earlier. Clear penalties and a fast replacement process can also reduce the damage if a company fails.
