What the buyer is looking for
The purpose of these technical specifications (TPP) is to regulate and establish the technical conditions of the equipment, as well as those related to the supply, installation and start-up that must govern the supply of the necessary equipment for the performance of gastrointestinal endoscopy studies to animals belonging to the Cynological and Remote Service of the Civil Guard (SECIR). The equipment will consist of a compact rigid and flexible video endoscopy unit for the diagnosis of digestive pathologies in dogs and horses that are located in locations that are at least 30 kilometers away, which makes its portability essential.

Procurement of Veterinary Videoendoscopy Equipment for Guardia Civil (Spain)
The input text concerns a Spanish public procurement procedure by the Dirección General de la Guardia Civil (Spain) for the supply of veterinary videoendoscopy equipment.
It is clearly framed from the Spanish contracting authority’s point of view and repeatedly references Spanish law (Ley 9/2017 de Contratos del Sector Público, LCSP) and Spanish administrative practice, with implementation in Madrid and El Pardo (Spain).
As background, the contract is a “Contrato de suministros – Subtipo: adquisición” for one compact videoendoscopy unit (rigid and flexible) for diagnosing digestive pathologies in dogs and horses belonging to the Guardia Civil’s Servicio Cinológico y Remonta (SECIR).
The procedure is an “procedimiento abierto simplificado abreviado” under article 159.6 LCSP, with an estimated value of 28,925.62 EUR (before VAT) and a budget of 35,000 EUR (VAT included).
The contract duration is 6 months from 1 January 2027 (or from formalization if later), with a specific execution period of 3 months from the request/order.
Regarding what the bidder must submit and minimum qualification requirements, the documentation indicates a single electronic envelope (“sobre único”) containing administrative documentation and the automatically quantifiable criteria (i.e. price and technical characteristics).
However, according to article 159.6.b LCSP, explicitly cited, bidders are exempt from having to prove economic/financial and technical/professional solvency; therefore no minimum turnover, no specific references, and no extra solvency certificates are required beyond the standard eligibility conditions set in the PCAP (not reproduced in detail here).
There is no indication in the extracted text of specific mandatory insurances or special forms beyond the usual electronic tender forms and any declarations that will be contained in the “documentación administrativa”.
On the scope of the contract, the object is narrowly defined as the supply of one compact videoendoscopy unit, including rigid and flexible videoendoscopy for canine and equine digestive diagnosis.
The place of execution is the SECIR facility at Carretera de Colmenar Viejo s/n, 28048 El Pardo (Madrid), with deliveries Monday to Friday between 08:00 and 14:00, respecting internal security measures and staff instructions.
The contract term is 6 months (from 01/01/2027 or contract formalization), while the actual supply execution is 3 months from the administration’s order.
The supply includes, such as, delivery, installation and commissioning of the equipment, and a 24‑month warranty covering the entire unit and all associated components.

On award criteria and weighting, the contract uses only criteria evaluable by formula (no subjective scores): 50 points for the economic offer (precio) and 50 points for technical value.
Price is scored by a proportional formula based on the “presupuesto base de licitación” (PBL): Puntuación = 50 × (PBL – Precio oferta) / PBL.
Technical criteria are detailed and purely quantitative, such as compatibility with disposable scopes of different calibres and lengths, resolution (Full HD or higher), external diameter, working channel size, length, basket size, and offered warranty period (with additional points if 36 or 48 months are offered, even though the base requirement is 24 months).
Tie-breaking rules are also set, such as preference for the lowest price among tied offers, then for companies employing a higher percentage of workers with disabilities (and, if necessary, higher percentage of permanent disabled staff), and finally the offer presented earliest in time.
On risks and special conditions, the text mentions several relevant aspects, such as: a special contract performance condition (article 202 LCSP) requiring use of reusable packaging and correct waste management during the supply; a 24‑month mandatory warranty with free repair, replacement or restitution and free removal/return of wrong or unsolicited products; evaluation of possible abnormally low offers under article 149 LCSP; and a condition that, because of “tramitación anticipada”, contract award is subject to the suspensive condition of existence of adequate and sufficient budget credit for 2027.
The validity period of offers is 8 months.
The tender must be submitted electronically via the PLACSP platform by 03/11/2026 at 23:59, with economic opening on 10/11/2026 at 12:00 in a private session.
The extracted text does not mention penalties, guarantees (fianzas), subcontracting rules, or an obligatory site visit; these would normally be in the PCAP, but they are not visible in the provided excerpts.
As to contradictions or corrections, the core data appear consistent across documents: all repeat one unit as object, the same budget (35,000 EUR), estimated value (28,925.62 EUR), 6‑month contract term and 3‑month execution period from order, and the same procedure type.
There is a minor apparent tension between the base requirement of a 24‑month warranty (Prescripciones Técnicas/Memoria) and the award criteria that grant extra points for offers with 36 or 48 months warranty; this is not a contradiction but rather “24 months” as the minimum and “36/48 months” as improvements.
In any case of discrepancy, the applicable rule in Spanish procurement is that the PCAP (Pliego de Cláusulas Administrativas Particulares) prevails over other documents for administrative/contractual conditions, and the Pliego de Prescripciones Técnicas prevails for technical characteristics; the summary notices on the platform are informative only and do not override the PCAP/PPT.
Only the contracting authority's tender documents are binding. As of: 22/10/2026
