What Ajuntament del Prat de Llobregat does

Ajuntament del Prat de Llobregat is the municipal government of El Prat de Llobregat, a municipality in the Baix Llobregat comarca of Catalonia, Spain, serving 66,474 residents across 32.23 km² as of January 2025. The entity operates as a public administrative body governed by Mayor Alba Bou Jordà and a 25-member municipal plenary under a coalition agreement between El Prat en Comú Podem and PSC for the 2023-2027 term. Its functional mandate spans local public service delivery including water supply (Aigües del Prat), social housing (Prat Espais), municipal media (El Prat Comunicació), education, culture, sports, urban planning, environmental sustainability, social welfare, and citizen participation.

The technology platform centers on a digital administration stack comprising the Seu Electrònica electronic headquarters for 24/7 online administrative procedures, the OAC 360° omni-channel citizen attention system, and the Open Government Portal providing transparency, open data, and citizen participation. Supporting infrastructure includes the e.FACT-compliant electronic invoice system (Facturae XML, DIR3 directory coding), the App Amb tu, un Prat millor citizen collaboration mobile application, and the Participa311 El Prat participatory budgeting platform powered by the Diputació de Barcelona. External integrations include Telegram for instant notifications, Google Maps for facility location, Google Translate for multilingual web access (10 languages), and municipal media channels (elprat.radio 91.6 FM, elprat.tv, elprat.digital, Revista El Prat).

The business model is funded through three primary revenue streams: municipal tax revenue (IBI property tax, IAE economic activities tax, vehicle tax, other local levies), administrative fees and charges (licenses, permits, water consumption via Aigües del Prat), and state and regional transfers from the Generalitat de Catalunya and the central Spanish government. Pricing is structured as free-at-point-of-use for core citizen services funded by taxation, with transactional fees applied to specific administrative procedures and consumption-based water billing. Distribution is hybrid: physical citizen attention offices (Casa de la Vila, OIAC, distributed civic center network) combined with comprehensive digital channels enabling 24/7 self-service access. The municipality holds Top 10 recognition among Spanish cities with more than 50,000 inhabitants for Open Administration practices.
