Sistema Dinámico de Adquisición de productos para las tiendas de EMT Madrid (Expediente 23/002/2SDA)
The input text concerns a Spanish public procurement procedure: a restricted, harmonized Systema Dinámico de Adquisición (SDA) for merchandising products for the shops of Empresa Municipal de Transportes de Madrid, S.A. (EMT Madrid).
It is clearly from the point of view of Spain as the contracting authority and refers to EU law (Directiva 2014/25/UE, Acuerdo sobre Contratación Pública) and EU countries (in particular the Union as a reference market/origin), but all performance and legal jurisdiction are located in Spain (Madrid, NUTS ES300).
Regarding what the bidder must submit and minimum qualification requirements, the text describes, for example, that to adhere to the SDA in Phase I-B bidders must present: a responsible declaration (Anexo I), a formal request for adhesion (Anexo II), documentation proving economic and financial solvency and technical-professional solvency, a responsible declaration according to Anexo IX about contracting and maintaining a general civil liability insurance of at least 50,000 EUR per claim and year, and specific documents if they are a UTE or foreign companies (commitment to Spanish jurisdiction).
As such, economic solvency is defined per category by minimum annual turnover (e.g. 10,000 EUR for Juguetería, 35,000 EUR for Maquetas y miniaturas, 90,000 EUR for Merchandising institucional), evidenced via VAT summary (modelo 390), corporate tax/IRPF or annual accounts, and technical solvency is defined by minimum amounts of similar supplies over the last three years (e.g. 7,000 EUR for Juguetería, 63,000 EUR for Merchandising institucional) demonstrated by lists of supplies with amounts, dates and recipients, backed by certificates from public bodies or client declarations.
Concerning the scope of the contract (what, how much, where, when), the SDA covers supplies under CPV 37000000 (instruments, sports articles, games, toys, crafts, artistic materials and accessories) plus specific CPVs such as 15842310 (caramelos), 37527200 (vehículos de juguete) and 39294100 (productos de información y promoción).
As such, the system is divided into five lots: Lot 1 Juguetería (estimated 50,000 EUR), Lot 2 Maquetas y miniaturas (170,000 EUR), Lot 3 Merchandising turístico (30,000 EUR), Lot 4 Merchandising institucional (450,000 EUR), Lot 5 Caramelos (50,000 EUR), summing to an estimated total value of 750,000 EUR (IVA excluido).
The period of execution or vigencia of the SDA runs from 01/01/2024 to 31/12/2028, without renewals, with performance in Spain, Madrid (NUTS ES300), and individual operators are admitted into each lot as listed in the “Listado de operadores económicos admitidos”.
As to award criteria and weighting, the TED and platform summaries show “Precio – criterios automáticos, ponderación 100 puntos” for the establishment of the SDA, while the detailed Pliego (for specific contracts within the SDA) explains a pluralidad de criterios based on best quality–price.
As such, for specific contracts, price is weighted at 70% and quality at 30%, with two quality subcriteria: origin of products within the EU (up to 15 points; 0 points if origin is outside the EU) and delivery time (up to 15 points for the shortest delivery time, decreasing linearly to 0 for the longest).
Furthermore, the economic offers must not exceed the maximum unit price per article and maximum amount per item, and the valuation of offers is based on total amount per lot and a linear scoring function proportional to the lowest valid price.
On risks and special conditions, the documents stipulate, for example, a special environmental condition of execution: the contractor must use materials and work systems respectful of the environment, health and safety.

The SDA itself does not require a complementary guarantee and mentions that guarantee periods for supplied goods will be the specific period in each contract, or otherwise two years, with the definitive guarantee covering LCSP article 110 concepts.
There is a specific penalty regime: delays caused by the contractor may lead to either contract resolution or daily penalties of 100 EUR, and delay penalties that reach multiples of the contract price allow EMT to resolve the contract or impose new penalties.
Additionally, for each day of delay against the offered delivery time there is a 100 EUR penalty.
Subcontracting of obligations arising from mere incorporation into the SDA is not allowed, but subcontracting parts of specific contracts is permitted under LCSP article 215.
The offer validity period for requests to participate is six months, presentation of requests is electronic in Spanish by 15/02/2024 14:00, electronic invoicing is indicated as obligatory in several platform extracts (though contradicted elsewhere), and Q&A documents clarify that, once adhered, operators are not obliged to submit offers to every specific tender.
No site visit is mentioned; questions are handled via written consultas with published responses.
Regarding contradictions or corrections, there are, such as, two types of discrepancies.
First, the platform summary for the initial SDA announcement states that electronic orders, electronic invoices and electronic payments “will not” be used, while later detailed notices and lot information repeatedly state that “facturación electrónica: obligatoria” and “se utilizará el pago electrónico”; the more recent and detailed platform information and the Pliego should be considered authoritative, meaning electronic invoicing and payment apply.
Second, an amendment notice changes dates: what previously said “01/03/2024” now says “16/02/2024”, and “15/01/2024” is corrected to “16/01/2024”, so the corrected dates in the amendment and in the final published announcement govern.
Also, while generic notices list price as the sole criterion with 100-point weighting, the signed Pliego de Condiciones Generales explains the actual plural criteria scheme (70% price, 30% quality) for specific contracts in the SDA; thus, for admission into the SDA price is the only automatic criterion, but for subsequent call-offs the multi-criteria quality–price scheme applies.
Only the contracting authority's tender documents are binding. As of: 20/10/2026

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 6 completed awards — not a statement about this procedure.)
This procedure allows 1034 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 · Musical & sports goods, 15 contracts went to foreign companies over the last 3 years (of 3,694 recorded awards).
