Public tender for a diode laser for the Otolaryngology service of Hospital Comarcal de Inca
The input text concerns a Spanish public procurement procedure for the “suministro e instalación de un láser diodo para el servicio de Otorrinolaringología” of Hospital Comarcal de Inca, in the Autonomous Community of the Balearic Islands (Spain).
It is clearly written from the point of view of a Spanish regional public health authority (Servicio de Salud de las Illes Balears / Hospital Comarcal de Inca), and cites Spanish national public procurement law (Ley 9/2017 LCSP), finance laws of the Balearic Islands, and local budget regulations.
No other countries are mentioned.
As background, the dossier includes: an announcement on the Plataforma de Contratación del Sector Público (PLACSP), a technical report justifying the need and defining the technical scope, a cost breakdown report establishing the presupuesto base de licitación and its adequacy to market prices, and managerial resolutions initiating and approving the contract file.
The contracting procedure is “procedimiento abierto simplificado abreviado” with “tramitación ordinaria”, no prórroga, and no possibility of contractual modification.
The contract is a supply (suministro) of medical equipment, CPV 33169100 and 33100000, not subject to EU harmonised regulation and not financed with EU funds.
Regarding what the bidder must submit and the minimum qualification requirements, the texts state that offers are to be presented electronically via PLACSP in a single envelope (“Sobre ÚNICO”) containing both administrative documentation and the automatically quantifiable award criteria.
The conditions of admission mention only the general “capacidad de obrar”; the excerpts provided do not set out explicit minimum annual turnover, specific technical references, particular insurance levels, or certifications beyond the generic capacity and the obligation to comply with Spanish public procurement law.
There is also an environmental execution condition whereby the contractor must ensure correct management of the waste generated, particularly special waste through an authorised manager, and must be able to provide certificates from the waste management company if requested.
On the scope of the contract (what, how much, where, when), the object is the supply and installation of one diode laser unit for the Otolaryngology service; there is explicitly no division into lots, as “se trata únicamente de un equipo, una unidad”.
The scope includes, such as: delivery of the new laser, its installation, removal and recycling of the existing equipment according to applicable regulations, removal of packaging, staff training, and maintenance during the warranty period.

The estimated value of the contract is 17,113.00 EUR (without VAT), and the presupuesto base de licitación is 20,706.73 EUR (17,113.00 EUR + 3,593.73 EUR VAT), determined as a lump sum (a tanto alzado) for all services.
The place of performance is Hospital Comarcal de Inca, Carretera Vella de Llubí s/n, 07300 Inca, Illes Balears (Spain), and the execution period is 15 calendar days counting from the day after contract formalisation; the contract cannot be extended and cannot be modified.
Offers must be submitted by 04/11/2026 at 14:00.
As for award criteria and weighting, the contract is awarded according to “mejor relación calidad-precio” with a total of 100 points.
The criteria evaluable by formulas are listed with their weights, such as: (1) Economic offer: 40 points, using the formula P = 40 × (lowest bid / bid evaluated); (2) Adequacy for transcanalicular DCR: 15 points, SI/NO; (3) Fibres specifically for lacrimal surgery and DCR: 15 points, with detailed scoring in the PCAP; (4) Wavelength: 10 points, with detailed scoring in the PCAP; (5) Traceability of consumables: 10 points, SI/NO; (6) Availability of reusable fibres: 5 points, SI/NO; (7) Extension of warranty: 5 points, with 1 point per full year of additional warranty beyond the minimum one-year warranty required in the PPT, up to a maximum of 5 points.
The documentation repeatedly emphasises that these criteria adequately capture the best quality-price ratio for the hospital’s needs.
On risks and special conditions, the contract requires a final (definitive) guarantee of 5% of the contract amount.
Subcontracting is explicitly permitted.
The procedure will not use an electronic auction (“subasta electrónica: No”).
Contract execution and payment processes will use electronic ordering, invoicing and payment.
There are specific environmental execution clauses on waste management, as noted above.
The budget is charged to the 2026 regional budget line 60801 G/412B01/63304/10 for 20,706.73 EUR, and the documents underline that the expense is considered a “mera reposición” (replacement investment) with associated recurring costs for consumables (annual estimate 16,552.80 EUR including VAT for specific probes), although those recurring consumables are not part of this tender’s price.
The excerpts provided do not detail penalties for delay or poor performance, nor the exact validity period of offers, nor compulsory site visits or question deadlines beyond the general bid submission deadline; those points likely appear, if at all, in parts of the PCAP not included in the text.
Regarding contradictions or corrections within the documents, the available excerpts are internally consistent on the key elements: they repeatedly confirm the same object (supply and installation of one diode laser for ORL), the same estimated value (17,113.00 EUR without VAT), the same tender budget (20,706.73 EUR with VAT), the same 15-day, non-extendable execution period, the same non-modifiable nature of the contract, the absence of lots, the procedure type (open, simplified, abbreviated) and the same award criteria and weightings totalling 100 points.
Where there are apparent duplications (for example, the award criteria tables repeated in different documents or the procedure description repeated in the notice and in internal reports), they present identical figures and conditions rather than conflicting statements.
In case of any discrepancy not visible in the excerpts, Spanish practice and LCSP would typically give precedence to the PCAP (Pliego de Cláusulas Administrativas Particulares) over other internal reports, but the text provided does not expose any concrete contradictions requiring resolution.
Only the contracting authority's tender documents are binding. As of: 22/10/2026
