Public tender for supply of planters, substrate and plants for Badajoz (Spain)
The input text concerns a Spanish public procurement procedure published by the Ayuntamiento de Badajoz (Spain) for the supply of jardineras (planters), special fertilised substrate and ornamental plants/arbustive species for the “Servicio de Parques y Jardines.” It is clearly a Spanish-law tender (LCSP and Directiva 2014/24/UE referenced), with all performance to take place in Badajoz, Spain.
The perspective is that of a contracting authority in Spain publishing both the contract notice and the tender documents on the national procurement platform (PLACSP).
Concerning what bidders must submit and minimum qualification requirements, the text states that offers must be presented electronically through PLACSP in a single electronic envelope (“SOBRE ARCHIVO UNICO”) containing both the administrative documentation and all automatically quantifiable criteria.
Conditions of admission listed include: capacity to act (“capacidad de obrar”), no prohibition to contract, not being affected by incompatibilities, and fulfilment of Social Security and tax obligations.
There are also additional “motivos de exclusión exclusivamente nacionales” beyond those in general legislation.
As for solvency, there is a technical-professional requirement based on “trabajos realizados” and an economic-financial requirement based on “cifra anual de negocio,” both “según lo estipulado en el apartado 4.2 / 4.1 del punto 3.8 del PCAP,” meaning the detailed thresholds (e.g. turnover figure, minimum references, any required certificates or insurances) are only in the PCAP not reproduced in this excerpt.
No explicit mention in the provided text is made of specific forms (e.g.
DEUC), particular insurance levels or named certificates; these, if required, must be checked in the PCAP and its annexes (“1755_26 ANEXOS.pdf”).
Regarding the scope of the contract, it is a supply contract (“Tipo de Contrato: Suministros – Subtipo: Adquisición”), non-mixed, with an estimated total value of 84,957.94 EUR and a tender budget of 100,000 EUR (84,957.94 EUR without taxes).
The execution period is 15 days.
The CPV codes confirm the subject-matter: 34928400 (urban furniture), 03110000 (horticultural products), 14212410 (topsoil).
The contract is divided into three lots: Lot 1 “Adquisición de jardineras” (planters); Lot 2 “Adquisición de sustrato vegetal fertilizado” (fertilised substrate); Lot 3 “Adquisición de arbustos” (shrubs), all “para el servicio de Parques y Jardines.” Place of performance is Spain, sub-entity Badajoz (code ES431), essentially Badajoz city; all deliveries are for the municipal parks and gardens service.

Submission deadline is 04/11/2026 at 13:00; opening of economic offers is scheduled for 11/11/2026 at 09:00, in a private act, and will be announced on the State Procurement Platform.
On award criteria, the procedure is “Procedimiento Abierto simplificado” with ordinary processing.
The only award criterion mentioned is the economic offer (price): criterion A.1 “Oferta económica: Precio” with a weighting of 100 points, and these criteria are “evaluables mediante aplicación de fórmulas” (i.e. purely automatic scoring based on price).
There is no reference to qualitative or environmental scoring criteria in adjudication; the environmental element appears only as a special condition of execution, not as an award criterion.
Electronic auction is explicitly excluded: “Se adjudicará mediante subasta electrónica: No.” Therefore, the lowest price (as evaluated by the formula) will determine the award, subject to meeting solvency and other eligibility requirements.
As to risks and special conditions, the text specifies several execution-related aspects.
There is a special environmental performance condition: the bidder must have a waste environmental management plan aimed at reducing harm to the environment, natural resources and humans.
The contract is tagged as “Contratación verde,” with references to climate adaptation, social aspects and accessibility for all, but only that specific waste-management obligation is concretely stated in the excerpt.
The validity period of the offer is four months (“Plazo de Validez de la Oferta: 4 Mes(es)”).
No explicit information is provided in the extract about penalties for delay, guarantees (fianzas), or subcontracting conditions; given that this is a Spanish LCSP contract and the PCAP is referenced, such aspects will almost certainly be regulated in the PCAP but are not reproduced here.
There is also no mention of question/clarification deadlines or mandatory site visits in the text provided.
Concerning contradictions or corrections within the documents, the apparent inconsistencies mostly arise from the mixture of overall-contract and lot-level figures: such as, “Valor estimado del contrato 84.957,94 EUR; Importe 100.000 EUR” for the whole contract, alongside partial values like 74,285 EUR (estimated) and 89,884.85 EUR (budget) for some combination of lots, 7,470 EUR / 8,217 EUR for Lot 3, and 1,568.73 EUR / 1,898.16 EUR tied to CPV 14212410 (likely a subpart of one lot or a misaligned line in the viewer).
In case of any remaining doubts (e.g. the exact breakdown of the 74,285 EUR vs 84,957.94 EUR or the “Se utilizará el pago electrónico No” vs “Sí”), the governing hierarchy under Spanish law gives precedence to the PCAP and its annexes over the summary notice; thus, the PCAP (“Pliego Cláusulas Administrativas 1755_26 ANEXOS.pdf”) should be treated as the definitive source where there is any discrepancy in the notice text.
Only the contracting authority's tender documents are binding. As of: 22/10/2026
