Suministro de material y equipos informáticos mediante Sistema Dinámico de Adquisición (MARE, Cantabria)
The input text concerns a public procurement procedure in Spain, specifically a restricted procedure for the establishment of a Sistema Dinámico de Adquisición (SDA) for the “Suministro de material y equipos informáticos” for MARE S.A., a public company of the Autonomous Community of Cantabria.
It is framed under Spanish public procurement law (LCSP) with references to EU law and EU-wide instruments like the Documento Europeo Único de Contratación (DEUC), but the operative point of view is the Spanish contracting authority in Cantabria.
Such as indicated in the Memoria justificativa and the Acuerdo de inicio de expediente, the general background is that MARE must renew and update its IT hardware, peripherals and some commercial software used to manage various environmental mandates from the Government of Cantabria.
The procedure is restricted and implemented as an SDA over five years, enabling multiple individual call-off contracts during the term.
The text also includes internal documents fixing the contract duration, the budget (Presupuesto base de licitación) and the maximum value (Valor máximo del contrato), and it describes solvency thresholds and reasons for not dividing the contract into lots.
Regarding what the bidder must submit and minimum qualification requirements, the documents detail extensive administrative and solvency documentation.
Such as: a formal “Solicitud de participación” using the model in Anexo B, a declaración responsable under article 140.1 LCSP, the DEUC, and proof that the company is duly incorporated and represented (escritura de constitución, estatutos, DNI and powers of attorney where applicable).
Bidders must submit certificates showing they are up to date with tax and Social Security obligations, a completed “Certificado de vigencia y cobertura de póliza de seguro” (annex b) and, as applicable, documentation proving economic and financial solvency (annual turnover equal to at least 100% of the SDA’s maximum annual value or professional liability insurance for new companies) and technical solvency (similar supplies over the last three years totalling at least 100% of the SDA’s maximum annual value).
There are also mandatory responsible statements on compliance with environmental, social and labour obligations (Annex V LCSP) and on measures for equality between men and women and non-discrimination and equal treatment of LGTBI persons.
On the scope of the contract (what, how much, where, when), the text specifies that the object is the supply of IT material, information processing equipment, displays and commercial software for MARE’s installations.
Such as: a cost breakdown based on historical purchases lists concrete items (PCs, laptops, monitors, keyboards, SSDs, switches, NAS, cameras, sensors, docking stations, etc.), leading to an annual average need of about 26,000 € (without VAT) and a 5‑year PBL of 130,000 € plus a 20% potential modification, resulting in a Valor Máximo del Contrato of 156,000 € (IVA not included).

The CPV code is 30237300 (Material informático).
The place of performance is Cantabria (ES130) with MARE based in Cartes, and the duration is fixed at five (5) years from the day after publication of the announcement on the Plataforma de Contratación del Sector Público (04‑12‑2024 to 05‑12‑2029).
Orders, invoicing and payment will be electronic.
On award criteria and weighting, the input sets out that each call-off under the SDA will be adjudicated solely by quantitative criteria evaluable by formulas.
Such as: “Oferta económica” (price/discount percentage on the PBL in each Documento de Condiciones Técnicas Particulares) with a minimum of 80 points and maximum of 100 points, and “Otros criterios” (other quantified factors to be defined in each specific tender) with 0–20 points.
There is a minimum of five candidates to be invited, and no electronic auction is used.
Regarding risks and special conditions, the documents introduce certain execution conditions and contractual mechanisms.
Such as: a special environmental condition requiring the contractor to promote recyclable or recycled packaging; its breach may lead either to penalties (under clause 3.3.1.2 of the administrative clauses) or, if designated essential in a specific call-off, to contract termination.
Subcontracting is allowed for non-essential parts of the supply, provided subcontractors meet the same solvency and professional requirements; essential or critical tasks may not be subcontracted and, where applicable, these are to be defined in each Documento de Condiciones Técnicas Particulares.
Contract assignment (cesión) is permitted with prior authorization and compliance with the pliegos.
The SDA is not subject to regulation armonizada, uses ordinary processing, does not involve EU funding, and is governed by LCSP and Cantabria’s social clause decree; specific penalties, guarantees, question deadlines or site visits would be detailed in the Pliego de Cláusulas Administrativas and in each call-off’s technical document, which are referenced but not fully reproduced in the input.
Such as: the Memoria justificativa states “3.3.
Clasificación – No aplica”, while other excerpts from the pliego describe documentation on classification “cuando así se exija en el Cuadro de características de la contratación”.
This indicates that, for this particular contract (Expediente 202400109), classification does not apply, and any generic clause on classification is overridden by the specific “No aplica” in the Cuadro de características/Memoria.
Similarly, the platform tender notice says that solvency documentation should be marked “no aplica” at the participation stage and will only be required from the best-ranked bidder, which refines how and when the general solvency requirements from the Memoria and pliego are enforced.
Only the contracting authority's tender documents are binding. As of: 21/10/2026
