Dynamic Purchasing System for BiciMAD Spare Parts (EMT Madrid)
The input text concerns a Spanish public procurement procedure by Empresa Municipal de Transportes de Madrid, S.A.
(EMT) for the BiciMAD public bicycle system.
It describes a Sistema Dinámico de Adquisición (Dynamic Purchasing System, SDA) for spare parts and materials for bicycles and stations, from the point of view of Spanish contracting law (Ley 9/2017 de Contratos del Sector Público) and municipal instructions of the Ayuntamiento de Madrid.
The country context is therefore Spain, with explicit references to Spanish legal provisions, the Platforma de Contratación del Sector Público and EMT’s internal procedures.
Such as in the general background, the SDA covers “materiales de repuesto para bicicletas y estaciones del servicio de bicicleta pública BICIMAD” divided into 11 categories (batteries, carenado, electronics, ferretería, llantas, motor, neumáticos, tornillería, transmisión, tren motriz, vinilo).
The overall contract is a supply contract (Tipo de contrato: Suministros, subtipo Adquisición) with an estimated value of 5,003,659.71 EUR and a base tender budget of 2,905,146.95 EUR (without VAT).
The execution period for the SDA is 2 years, from 01/03/2026 to 01/03/2028, with deliveries to the BiciMAD warehouse at the Centro de Operaciones Fuencarral in Madrid (Mauricio Legendre 40–42).
A detailed budget table distributes the base budget by year and by category, indicating the annual value and the quantities in euros per category.
Such as indicated for companies like GURPILAN, FERRETERÍA IBERMADRID or TRIDIMAGEN, bidders must submit: Anexo I (general declarations on capacity, prohibitions, group relations, foreign jurisdiction), Anexo II, Anexo X (declaración responsable de seguro de responsabilidad civil), and specific declarations of economic and technical solvency.
Economic solvency is evidenced by a declaración responsable on turnover (volumen anual de negocios) for the last three financial years, with a minimum amount per category (e.g. 422,208.27 EUR for Category 1 batteries, 105,931.50 EUR for Category 11 vinilo) and cumulative amounts when applying for several categories.
Technical solvency is evidenced by a declaration listing similar supplies in the last 3 years (import, date, recipient), supported by certificates from public entities or private clients, with minimum amounts per category (e.g. 197,030.53 EUR for Category 1, 4,845.65 EUR for Category 4, 118,927.46 EUR for Category 5, 212,851.33 EUR for Category 7).
For UTEs (joint ventures) each member must submit all required documents plus Anexo III (solidarity commitment) and Anexo IV (integración de solvencia con medios externos, joint responsibility).

Regarding award criteria and weighting, the input text makes clear that, for specific contracts under the SDA, EMT will apply a single award criterion: price.
Such as explained in the justification section (Art. 116.4.c LCSP), price is given a 100% weighting and evaluated by a linear formula: P_l = (O_b / O_l) × 100, where O_b is the lowest valid offer, O_l is the offer being evaluated, and P_l the points awarded.
This ensures proportional scoring based solely on the discount offered.
The CPV codes listed for the SDA give the technical scope (bicycles, motors, electrical equipment, adhesives, ferretería, transmission elements, etc.), while the public notice fragments for Category 11 (vinilo) show that the criteria of solvency defined in the PCG are also reflected in the electronic tender notice, although the notice text itself ambiguously labels solvency compliance as a “criterion” with a 100 weighting in the contracting platform.
As to risks and special conditions, the text outlines several obligations that create risk allocation for bidders.
Such as the compulsory future insurance: bidders must sign Anexo X committing, if awarded a specific contract, to take out and maintain a general civil liability insurance for third-party damage with a minimum coverage equal to the estimated value of the specific contract per claim and year.
Any deductible (“franquicia”) in the policy must be borne by the contractor, and EMT may recover deductible amounts either by direct payment, invoice deduction, or retention of the performance guarantee where applicable.
There is also a special environmental execution condition: the contractor must use materials and work systems that are environmentally friendly and protect health and safety.
Each individual requerimiento to bidders has its own 3-day deadline for clarifications and document completion via PLYCA, and contact is centralized through EMT’s phone number; no site visit or question deadline for the initial SDA admission is explicitly described in the excerpts.
On contradictions or corrections within the documents, the main apparent tension arises from how award criteria are displayed in the external platform versus the internal PCG.
Such as in the Category 11 notice, the Platform of Contracting shows “Cumplir los criterios de solvencias establecidos en el PCG: Otros – Ponderación 100” under “Criterios de adjudicación,” which could suggest solvency as an award criterion; however, the PCG and the internal memory (Memoria justificativa, page 14) clearly state that the only award criterion is price (100% weighting) and that solvency is a participation requirement, not a scored criterion.
Similarly, where bidder-specific requerimientos add clarifications (e.g. reminding that amounts must match the solvency tables on page 18 of the PCG, or that illegible documents must be replaced), these are corrections of incomplete submissions rather than changes to the underlying rules, and the governing statements remain those in the PCG and the approved memorum.
Only the contracting authority's tender documents are binding. As of: 20/10/2026

How often this buyer tenders this kind of work
Tactics
When this buyer has awarded in this sector, usually only one or two bids came in. A solid bid has a real chance here. (Based on 199 completed awards — not a statement about this procedure.)
This procedure allows 731 days between publication and deadline — typical in this country is 27 (median of 7,300 procedures). Much more generous than usual — time for a thorough bid rather than a quick one.
Foreign bidders
In Spain · Transport equipment, 344 contracts went to foreign companies over the last 3 years (of 39,550 recorded awards) — mostly from Italy, Germany, France.
