Tender for supply, installation and commissioning of a portable transformer centre for Navantia Ferrol
The input text concerns a public procurement procedure promoted by Navantia S.A., S.M.E., a Spanish state‑controlled public company.
It is a supply contract for a “centro de transformación portátil” (portable transformer centre) linked to Navantia’s shipyard in Ferrol, Spain.
The country context and applicable legal framework are clearly Spanish (Spain is explicitly mentioned; foreign bidders must submit a declaration of submission to Spanish law).
The documents describe an open procedure (“Procedimiento Abierto”) for the supply, installation and commissioning of a portable transformer centre for Navantia Ferrol.
The contracting authority is the “Comité Central de Compras de Navantia S.A., S.M.E.”, and the process is run electronically through Navantia’s own ARIBA platform.
The contract is classified under CPV codes for transformers, electrical distribution/control equipment and transformer installation works, reflecting that it is a combined supply and installation project within Spain.
Regarding what the bidder must submit and minimum qualification requirements, the text lists general participation conditions such as: having capacity to contract (“Capacidad de obrar”), not being prohibited from contracting, not being subject to incompatibilities, and being up to date with Social Security and tax obligations.
For foreign companies, there must be a declaration of submission to Spanish legislation.
Specific solvency requirements, such as technical references, minimum turnover, insurance and certificates, are not detailed in the excerpt; instead, they are referred to as “Otros – Según punto 13.2 del PCP” for economic‑financial solvency and “Otros – Según punto 13.3 del PCP” for technical‑professional solvency.
This means that the exact forms, references, turnover thresholds, insurance levels and certificates are set out in the PCP (Pliego de Cláusulas Administrativas Particulares) contained in “PLIEGOS Y ANEXOS.zip” on the platform.
On the scope of the contract (what, how much, where, when), the object is consistently defined as “Suministro, instalación y puesta en marcha de centro de transformación portátil Navantia Ferrol”.
Show all 25 statements
The estimated contract value is 325,000 EUR, with a tender budget (“Presupuesto base de licitación”) of 393,250 EUR (325,000 EUR before taxes).
The execution period is 8 months, with an additional 24 months of warranty (“8 meses + 24 meses de garantía”).
The place of performance is linked to Navantia Ferrol (address: Taxonera S/N, 15403 Ferrol, Spain) for reception of offers and for the procurement office; however, the “Lugar de ejecución” field in some entries shows “Subentidad Nacional Madrid, Código ES300, Dirección Postal España”, which appears to be a central administrative location code rather than the physical work site.
The offer submission deadline is 04/11/2026 at 11:00, with the (private) opening of economic offers on the same day at 11:00, and the pliegos can be obtained until 03/11/2026 at 09:00.
Concerning award criteria and weighting, the procedure uses “Criterios evaluables mediante un juicio de valor” (criteria assessed by judgement rather than automatic formulas), and the notice states “Según PPT y PCP: Otros Subtipo Criterio: 100 Ponderación”.
This indicates that the detailed qualitative criteria and their sub‑weights are defined in the Technical Specifications (PPT) and the Administrative Clauses (PCP), but that the global weighting factor for this block of criteria is 100 (i.e., effectively 100% of the evaluation is based on those qualitative criteria).
No separate numerical weighting for price vs. quality is given in the excerpt, so the bidder must consult PPT/PCP for the exact evaluation model.
On risks and special conditions, the text indicates that electronic ordering, electronic invoicing and electronic payment will be used (“Se utilizará pedido electrónico”, “Se aceptará factura electrónica”, “Se utilizará el pago electrónico”), which has implications for bidders in terms of administrative and IT readiness.
The validity period of the offer is 6 months (“Plazo de Validez de la Oferta 6 Mes(es)”), so such as price and technical commitments must be maintained for at least six months after submission.
The opening of economic offers is an internal, non‑public act (“Acto interno (No público)”, “Tipo de Acto: Privado”).
Penalties, performance guarantees, subcontracting conditions, any requirement for a site visit, and deadlines for asking questions are not specified in the visible text and are presumably detailed in the PCP and PPT contained in “PLIEGOS Y ANEXOS.zip”; bidders therefore must review those pliegos to understand liquidated damages, guarantees, subcontracting limits and any pre‑tender meetings or visits.
Regarding contradictions or corrections within the documents, the core commercial and procedural data (expediente number 5100074088, contract value, execution period, warranty, CPV codes, offer deadlines, use of ARIBA, solvency references to PCP 13.2 and 13.3, offer validity of 6 months, and award criteria based on PPT/PCP with total weighting 100) are consistent across the repeated notices (anuncio previo, anuncio de licitación, documento de pliegos).
The only notable apparent contradiction is between the description of the contract location as “Navantia Ferrol” (with the Ferrol address for the procurement office and for the object of the contract) and the “Lugar de ejecución: Subentidad Nacional Madrid ES300 Dirección Postal España” field, which likely reflects the central administrative entity code rather than the physical site.
Only the contracting authority's tender documents are binding. As of: 19/10/2026
