Works of the simplified project for the adaptation of the crossings of tracks between platforms of the Mirabel station (Extremadura).

✓Such as: the bill of quantities is broken down into chapters (demolitions, foundations and structure, finishes, locksmithing, signalling, client‑oriented measures, cleaning, waste management, safety and health) with a material execution budget of 64,342.91 EUR, general expenses and industrial benefit of 12,225.15 EUR, and VAT of 16,079.29 EUR.

✓The place of performance is Mirabel station in Extremadura (sub‑entity code ES432), and the contractual execution period is 5 months.

✓The procedure is ordinary, with electronic offer presentation through external systems, and the deadline for submitting offers is 26/10/2026 at 10:00, with private opening of economic offers on the same date and time in Madrid.

✓On award criteria and weighting, the contract is awarded on the basis of the “best quality‑price ratio” with several criteria, but in practice all criteria are evaluable by formulas and there are no non-formula qualitative criteria (POT = 0).

✓Such as: price is the main criterion with a weighting of 98 points, while a qualitative but formula‑evaluated criterion, “Compromiso de utilización de CDE de Adif”, has 2 points.

✓There is no minimum threshold for qualitative criteria.

✓The justification section explains that because the technical specifications are sufficiently detailed in the construction project, other qualitative criteria are not considered to add substantial improvements.

✓The adjudication does not involve electronic auction (subasta electrónica: No).

✓As for risks and special conditions, the documents highlight several elements.

✓Penalties for breaches will be those foreseen in the PCAP (Pliego de Cláusulas Administrativas Particulares), and price revision is not allowed (“Revisión de precios: No”).

✓Subcontracting is permitted without specific limits (“¿Existen límites a la subcontratación?: No”), and assignment (cesión) of the contract is allowed under LCSP article 214.

✓Special execution conditions include social considerations (as per PCAP), compliance with data protection rules, and coordination of business activities in ADIF workplaces (POP12 and POP16), plus environmental obligations such as dismantling and certified treatment of all waste from modified installations.

✓Payments follow LCSP 30-day certification periods, via electronic orders and electronic payments; electronic invoicing is accepted.

✓On contradictions or corrections, the set of documents appears largely consistent and repetitive, with content from the “Informe sobre inicio de expediente” mirrored in the resolution and platform notices.

✓Apparent “double lists” of exclusion grounds and participation requirements (e.g. fraud, corruption, social and environmental breaches, insolvency, quiebra, conflict of interest, participation in criminal organizations, etc.) are complementary extracts of the standard ESPD/exclusion clauses and not contradictory.

✓When a question arises as to which statement applies regarding solvency, the governing rule is explicitly stated: article 159.6 LCSP exempts bidders from accrediting general economic/financial/technical solvency, but the specific technical condition on the assignment of qualified personnel in section 8.3 of the Informe/PCAP also applies and must be complied with.

✓Likewise, where some texts generically refer to “criterios cualitativos” of 2 points, the detailed criteria description clarifies that this is solely the commitment to use ADIF’s CDE, so that interpretation prevails.

Answers on the required criteria

Must securities be provided (bid bond, performance or warranty guarantee)? If so: which, in what amount and by when?

❓There is no mention of a bid bond or warranty guarantee being required in the excerpts provided; instead, there are template clauses describing when a complementary 5% guarantee could be requested in other cases (such as EU‑funded contracts or abnormally low bids), but in this specific tender those options are not ticked.

Is subcontracting allowed? If so: with which limits and which disclosure duties?

✓As for subcontracting, the text includes a dedicated section “19.

✓SUBCONTRATACIÓN” followed by the question “¿Existen límites a la subcontratación a las tareas objeto del contrato?: No.” This indicates that subcontracting is allowed without specific quantitative limits to the portions of work that may be subcontracted.

❓However, as in all Spanish public contracts, general obligations under the LCSP still apply, such as disclosure and responsibility for subcontractors, even if not detailed here.

✓For instance, the contractor must comply with ADIF’s procedures for coordination of business activities in its workplaces (POP12 and POP16), which also apply to companies performing activities on ADIF’s sites, including subcontractors.

❓Any more precise disclosure duties (such as prior communication of subcontractors, thresholds, or form of notification) would appear in the PCAP, which is referenced but not fully shown in the input.

Is there a site visit, and is attendance mandatory? If so: when?

❓Concerning site visits, language of tender documents, validity of tenders and deadlines for bidder questions, the excerpts do not give explicit answers.

❓The texts show the submission deadline (“Plazo de Presentación de Oferta Hasta el 26/10/2026 a las 10:00”) and the opening of the economic offers on 26/10/2026 at 10:00 in Madrid, but do not mention any mandatory or optional site visit, nor a date for such a visit.

In which language must the tender and the supporting documents be submitted, and are documents in other languages accepted?

❓Likewise, they do not specify the language in which tenders must be submitted or whether documents in other languages are accepted; given that this is a Spanish public tender and all documentation and references (PCAP, PPTP, LCSP) are in Spanish, the working assumption is that Spanish is required, but this is not explicitly stated in the text provided.

How long is the bidder bound by the tender (validity period), and is there a deadline for bidder questions? If so: until when?

❓Finally, there is no information in the excerpts on how long bidders are bound by their offers (validity period) or on a specific deadline for submitting bidder questions; such details are typically regulated in the PCAP, which is referenced (“Según PCAP”) for the presentation of offers and payment regime, and would need to be consulted directly to answer those points with certainty.

Further details

✓Public works tender for accessibility improvements at Mirabel railway station (Extremadura, Spain)

✓The input text concerns a Spanish public procurement procedure launched by ADIF (the Spanish rail infrastructure manager) for construction works at Mirabel railway station in Extremadura.

✓It describes, among other things, the object of the contract, its estimated value, the procedure (open simplified), the execution period and several administrative and technical conditions.

✓The country perspective is clearly Spain, with references to Spanish law (Ley 9/2017 de Contratos del Sector Público – LCSP), Spanish public platforms (Plataforma de Contratación del Sector Público) and Spanish public bodies (ADIF, Tribunal Administrativo Central de Recursos Contractuales).

✓As background, the documents describe a works contract with an estimated value of 76,568.06 EUR (before VAT) and a total budget of 92,647.35 EUR (including 21% VAT), with a five‑month execution period.

✓The object is the simplified project for adapting the track crossings between platforms at Mirabel station to current accessibility regulations, including structural modifications and installation of deterrent closures to cancel existing crossings.

✓The procedure is “procedimiento abierto simplificado abreviado” with several award criteria, such as price (98 points) and commitment to use ADIF’s Common Data Environment (CDE) (2 points), and is conducted electronically through external systems, as is typical in Spanish public e‑tendering.
