Tender for “Pasos de Peatones Inteligentes” on Avenida Miguel de Cervantes (Marbella)
The input text concerns a public works tender launched by the Ayuntamiento de Marbella (Spain) for the construction of “intelligent” pedestrian crossings on Avenida Miguel de Cervantes in Nueva Andalucía.
It is clearly framed within Spanish public procurement law (Ley 9/2017 de Contratos del Sector Público, RGLCAP), with references to the EU procurement framework (Directive 2014/24/EU) but the contract is not subject to harmonized regulation thresholds.
The perspective is that of a Spanish local authority procuring works; no other countries are mentioned.
Background-wise, the documentation includes: the contract notice on the Plataforma de Contratación del Sector Público (PLACSP), the pliego de cláusulas administrativas particulares (PCAP) and pliego de prescripciones técnicas (PPT), plus several technical and financial reports and the proposal of solvency and award criteria.
It defines the budget, duration, place of performance, non‑division into lots, and the internal designation of a contract responsible.
The process is a procedure abierto with electronic submission of offers via PLACSP, and no electronic auction.
Regarding what bidders must submit and minimum qualification, the text specifies three electronic “sobres” (files): Sobre 1 (administrative documentation, including the Documento Europeo Único de Contratación – DEUC and a declaración responsable according to Annex I of the PCAP), Sobre 2 (technical offer/criteria evaluable by judgment of value), and Sobre 3 (economic offer/criteria evaluable by formulas).
As solvency, economic/financial capacity requires an annual turnover in the best of the last three financial years at least equal to the estimated contract value: 185,950.41 € (excluding VAT), evidenced by approved annual accounts in the Mercantile Register or, for individuals, legalized inventory and annual accounts.
Technical solvency is proven by a list of works executed in the last five years with certificates of good execution indicating amount, dates and location; for “newly created” companies (< 5 years) the alternative is showing availability of at least one suitably qualified technical person (architecture, engineering, etc.), supported by proof of qualification.
Optionally, solvency can be accredited by official classification: Group G, Subgroup 5, Category 2. Exclusion grounds (social, labor, environmental, social security, national grounds) apply as per PCAP and LCSP; details of insurance are not mentioned in the extracted text.
On the scope of the contract, the object is the “Contratación de las Obras: Creación de Pasos de Peatones Inteligentes en Avda.
Miguel de Cervantes de Nueva Andalucía, T.M.
Show all 38 statements
Marbella (Málaga).” The CPV is 45233294 (installation of road signage).
The estimated value is 185,950.41 € (base imponible) and the tender budget is 225,000 € (including 21% VAT of 39,049.59 €).
A technical report breaks down the budget into direct costs (94%), indirect costs (6%), general expenses (13%), industrial profit (6%), and VAT.
The works relate to ten pedestrian crossings along the avenue, involving (such as) renewal of pedestrian ramps, pavement repair, curb modification, and raising sidewalks, plus installation of luminous plates and markings.
The execution period is 2 months from the next working day after signing the replanteo act, which itself must be signed within one month of contract signature.
The place of performance is Marbella (subentity Málaga, ES617), classified as Suelo Urbano Consolidado, Sistema General Viario (vial primario).
There is an express justification for not dividing into lots: a single contractor is required to ensure uniform safety measures, homogeneous technical solutions and coordinated sequencing.
On award criteria and weighting, the tender is based on “mejor relación calidad‑precio” with two criteria: (1) Proposición económica (price), an automatic criterion with up to 70 points, assessed based on the percentage discount from the tender budget; maximum points go to the highest non‑abnormally‑low discount, and other offers are scored proportionally using Pi = 70 × (Bi/Bmax).
Abnormally low offers are identified according to article 85 RGLCAP, with a one‑third reduction of standard thresholds to reinforce control; a justification procedure is applied, and unjustified offers are excluded, followed by recalculation of points.
(2) Estudio específico de la escorrentía superficial de la Avda.
Miguel de Cervantes, a qualitative criterion up to 30 points, evaluated on degree of detail, precision, and technical coherence of the runoff analysis for each of the ten crossings (such as identification of surface flow direction and low points).
Mere reproduction of project provisions or generic statements is not scored.
For tie-breaking, social criteria of LCSP art. 147.2 apply in order: higher percentage of disabled/excluded workers (with preference to permanent contracts and persons in inclusion), lower percentage of temporary contracts, higher percentage of women in the workforce, and finally a draw.
Documentation for tie‑break is provided only if a tie arises, supported by a declaration.
The validity of the offer is set at 2 months.
Concerning risks and special conditions, the documents mention a definitive guarantee of 5% of the contract amount, though details of penalties for delay are not in the extracted text (they will be in the PCAP).
A particular social execution condition is included: salaries of staff assigned to the contract must be paid according to the applicable sector collective agreement.
The contract does not use electronic orders; electronic invoicing is accepted; electronic payment is not used.
No electronic auction is held.
Subcontracting rules are not detailed in the excerpts but will follow LCSP and PCAP.
As such, remedies and legal risks are described: issues of interpretation or application of the pliego are resolved by the contracting authority; against its resolutions, a discretionary administrative reposición appeal may be filed (one month from notification, or three months for presumed decisions), and thereafter contentious-administrative appeal to the Tribunal Superior de Justicia de Andalucía (Málaga seat) within two months.
The documents confirm that the contract will generate expenditure only in 2026 and that it is compatible with budgetary stability and financial sustainability.
Deadlines: offers and access to documents via PLACSP are open until 16/11/2026 at 23:59; the act of opening economic offers is public, with attendance subject to prior communication.
No site visit or specific question deadline beyond the general tender timeframe is stated in the extract.
As for contradictions or corrections, the information appears consistent across the notice, technical and solvency reports: the budget is always 185,950.41 € base + 39,049.59 € VAT = 225,000 €; execution period is always 2 months; the contract is repeatedly stated as not subject to harmonized regulation and not divided into lots; the same award criteria (70 points price, 30 points runoff study) and the same solvency thresholds and classification options are repeated.
Some minor data (telephone numbers, timestamps, UUIDs) differ because of separate publications (notice vs. pliegos), but these do not affect substantive conditions.
Only the contracting authority's tender documents are binding. As of: 23/10/2026
