Contract for the management of a music creation centre for Teatre Principal de Palma
The input text concerns a public service contract launched by the Fundació Teatre Principal de Palma (Mallorca, Spain), relating to the management of one or more centres of musical creation and research.
It is clearly framed in the Spanish public procurement system (Llei 9/2017 de Contractes del Sector Públic), with the contracting authority being a public foundation under local authority control.
The country context is therefore Spain, with references to the Balearic Islands (Mallorca) and the Spanish legal procurement framework.
Such as regards the procedural background, the documents describe the initiation and approval resolutions of the contracting file (expedient 05/2026), the announcement of tender on the Plataforma de Contractación del Sector Público, and the applicable legal basis (LCSP and the foundation’s statutes).
Initially the need for the service is justified (lack of internal spaces and staff for residencies, the foundation’s mission to promote artistic creation), and there is mention of both “procediment obert amb publicitat” (open procedure with publicity) and “procediment negociat amb publicitat” (negotiated with publicity); however, the detailed tender notices and pliegos are consistently described as “procedimiento abierto, tramitación ordinaria”, so the applicable procedure for bidders is an open procedure.
The contract is divided into two lots, both under CPV 92000000 “Servicios de esparcimiento, culturales y deportivos”, not subject to EU harmonised regulation.
Such as concerning what bidders must submit and the minimum qualification requirements, the tender requires manual submission of offers in physical envelopes: Sobre núm. 1 for general bidder documentation, Sobre núm. 2 for the technical proposal (centre project), and Sobre núm. 3 for the economic offer.
For technical-professional solvency, bidders must provide (as examples) a list of similar services performed, certificates of performance, and CVs of the professionals and managers responsible for execution.
For economic-financial solvency, bidders must demonstrate (such as) professional indemnity insurance coverage at the level set out in the PCAP, and adequate annual turnover and past billing in similar projects, again according to detailed thresholds in the PCAP.
The texts refer repeatedly to “Ver PCAP”, indicating that exact figures, forms and any specific certificates are defined in the administrative clauses document, which is approved and published with the tender.
Such as for the scope of the contract (what, how much, where, when), the object is the “gestió de centres de creació amb especialitat de Música” for the Teatre Principal de Palma, divided into two lots.
Each lot covers a centre of musical research and creation: Lot 1 oriented to composition of new music, contemporary music and music for children and youth; Lot 2 oriented to creative research and sound experimentation of musical language, possibly in symbiosis with other artistic disciplines.
Show all 26 statements
Each lot must organise a minimum of 3 and maximum of 6 residencies, each at least 2 weeks long, totalling a minimum of 12 weeks per lot.
The contract value per lot is an estimated 23,858 EUR, with a budget base of 30,200 EUR (VAT included per lot), making a total contract estimated value of 47,716 EUR and total budget of 60,400 EUR for the two lots.
Financing comes from the foundation’s internal budget lines 2.Producció, 2.4 Centres de creació i dramatúrgia for 2026 and 2027.
Such as for award criteria, weighting, risks, and special conditions, the text provided does not list explicit evaluation criteria or percentages, but it does confirm that there is no electronic auction and that award will follow a standard open procedure (one phase) with technical and economic offers assessed.
Risks and special conditions include a definitive guarantee of 5% of the awarded amount to be constituted within 15 months, requirements for adequate professional indemnity insurance, and the possibility of subcontracting.
There are no EU co-financing programmes, and electronic order, electronic invoicing or electronic payment will not be used.
The procedure is manual, with offers received at the Dirección Gerencia of the Foundation; the deadline for receipt of offers is 05/11/2026 at 23:59, and pliegos can be obtained until 04/11/2026 at 23:59.
The validity period of offers is not explicitly mentioned in the excerpt, but would normally be governed by the PCAP.
Questions and information are to be directed to the Foundation via the published contact details (phone and email).
Penalties, detailed guarantees beyond the 5% definitive guarantee, and any specific limits or conditions on subcontracting would again be set out in the PCAP and technical specifications, to which the tender repeatedly refers.
Such as regarding contradictions or corrections within the documents, there is a notable formal tension between the initial internal resolutions mentioning a “procediment negociat amb publicitat” and the tender notices and pliegos that characterise the external procedure as “procedimiento abierto, tramitación ordinaria”.
For bidders, the binding version is the published tender documentation on the Plataforma de Contractación (anuncio de licitación, documento de pliegos), which clearly states “Procedimiento Abierto” and details a public open tender with competition.
Likewise, the calendar lines in some internal resolutions refer to 2026 “de juliol a desembre”, whereas the formal tender notice fixes the execution period from 09/11/2026 to 31/12/2027; the official tender notice on the Plataforma and its execution period should prevail for bid preparation.
All economic figures across the tender notices, pliegos references, and resolutions (23,858 EUR per lot, 30,200 EUR per lot, total 47,716 EUR / 60,400 EUR) are consistent, and there are no conflicting budget amounts.
Only the contracting authority's tender documents are binding. As of: 19/10/2026
