Dynamic purchasing system for auxiliary materials for EMT Madrid
The input text concerns a public procurement procedure in Spain from the point of view of the contracting authority Empresa Municipal de Transportes de Madrid, S.A. (EMT Madrid).
It is an open procedure for a “Sistema dinámico de adquisición” (dynamic purchasing system, SDA) for the supply of auxiliary materials (not bus spare parts), subject to EU procurement rules under Directive 2014/25/EU.
The documentation is framed by Spanish procurement law (LCSP and RDL 3/2020) and uses the EU-wide Documento Europeo Único de Contratación (DEUC/ESPD), reflecting both Spanish and broader EU legal contexts.
Such as indicated in the “memoria justificativa” and announcement, bidders must participate via an open procedure using the DEUC/ESPD form.
The ESPD text shows that operators must declare their identity, representation, and whether they rely on other entities’ capacities, and provide information on insolvency, bankruptcy, agreements with creditors, suspension of activities, professional misconduct, environmental/social/labour law compliance, and tax/social security payments.
The documents explicitly state that the contract does not require special national “clasificación” of contractors (Spanish classification system) and that solvency (economic/financial and technical/professional) will be the standard required by LCSP articles 87.3 and 89.3, but the detailed turnover, references or insurance thresholds are not spelled out in the excerpts; bidders must be able to later submit certificates for tax and social security compliance and any other proof referenced in the ESPD.
Regarding scope, the contract is a supplies contract (subtipo: adquisición) running from 01/01/2024 to 31/12/2028, with an estimated value of 2,519,687.88 EUR (excluding VAT and including a 20% modification margin) and a base budget of 2,099,739.90 EUR without VAT (2,540,685.28 EUR with VAT).
The SDA is divided into categories (also referred to as lots in the announcement), such as: Category/Lot 1 “Ferretería en general”, Category/Lot 2 “Material eléctrico, electrónico y componentes informáticos”, plus categories for iron/steel/metals, chemicals and fuels, construction materials (including wood, plumbing, heating), auxiliary installations (washers, automatic doors, compressed air and air conditioning, vacuum systems), and printing/office/multifunction equipment.
Annual estimated amounts per category for 2024–2028 are provided, summing to the total value, and the place of performance is Madrid (subentity ES300) in Spain.
Such as described in the justification of award criteria, the sole award criterion in the SDA framework is price with a weighting of 100%.
All criteria are “valorables en cifras y porcentajes” and common to all categories.
The economic offers are scored by assigning 100 points to the lowest valid bid and 0 points to the base tender price, with intermediate offers evaluated through a linear proportional formula that ensures that the cheaper the price, the higher the score, and that all points are distributed between the non-improved base price (0 points) and the best offer (100 points).
Show all 21 statements
This is justified as transparent, proportionate and consistent with municipal Instruction 5/2016, ensuring that, all else equal, the cheapest offer is the most advantageous.
Such as specified under risks and special conditions, there is a special environmental execution condition: the contractor must use materials and work systems that are respectful of the environment and of health and safety.
Subcontracting is explicitly not limited (“NO se limita la subcontratación”), though information on sub‑contractors may be requested via ESPD if the authority requires it.
No provisional guarantee is required (“NO se exige garantía provisional”), a definitive guarantee is required per LCSP article 107.1, and no complementary guarantee is demanded.
Penalties for delay are mentioned as included in section 16.2 “Penalidades” of the main conditions pliego (details not in the excerpts).
The guarantee period for supplies is generally two years from receipt, unless a specific SDA contract sets a different period; partial receptions trigger separate guarantee periods for those deliveries.
There is no urgent processing of the file, and the SDA is divided into categories rather than traditional lots.
Question deadlines, site visits and detailed validity period of offers are not explicitly covered in the provided text.
Where the ESPD refers to potential “motivos de exclusión puramente nacionales,” it does so generically and points back to the announcement or pliegos, without introducing conflicting rules.
Only the contracting authority's tender documents are binding. As of: 20/10/2026
