Public tender for the supply and installation of a document shredder for Ibermutua Málaga
The input text concerns a small public procurement procedure in Spain from the point of view of a Spanish contracting entity, IBERMUTUA, Mutua Colaboradora con la Seguridad Social nº 274.
It is a tender for the supply and installation of a paper/document shredder for the Ibermutua centre in Málaga, processed via Spain’s Plataforma de Contratación del Sector Público (PLACSP) under the Spanish Public Sector Contracts Law (Ley 9/2017, LCSP).
The documents reproduced include the anuncio de licitación on the platform and the internal “Memoria justificativa – Propuesta de contratación”, but they refer repeatedly to other key documents (PCAP and PPT) that are not fully transcribed here.
Regarding what the bidder must submit and minimum qualification requirements, the text highlights that the procedure is an abierto simplificado under art. 159.6 LCSP and explicitly states that, in accordance with art. 159.6 b) LCSP, the tenderers are exempt from having to accredit economic/financial and technical/professional solvency (“los licitadores estarán exentos de la acreditación de la solvencia económica y financiera, y técnica o profesional”).
The listing on the platform indicates a “Sobre Único” that must contain both the administrative documentation and the automatically quantifiable criteria (in practice, the economic offer), to be submitted electronically through PLACSP before 04/11/2026 at 12:00.
The platform also indicates that an ESPD (espd-request.pdf/xml) is available, so, as in other Spanish procedures, the bidder can expect to complete/submit a standardised self-declaration form, plus any declarations required by the PCAP (such as the general capacity to contract and absence of prohibitions to contract), although the exact forms (e.g. model of offer, specific declarations) are not detailed in this extract and would be in the PCAP.
There is no mention here of needing references, minimum turnover, specific insurances, or certificates beyond what LCSP normally requires and what the PCAP and PPT will specify technically.
Concerning the scope of the contract (what, how much, where, when), the object is consistently described as “Suministro e instalación de una destructora de Papel / máquina de destrucción de documentos para el Centro de Ibermutua en Málaga”.
The quantity is one shredder (inferred from the cost calculation as “una máquina de destrucción de documentación”), with supply and installation as a single lot, explicitly justified as not divisible into lots (“El objeto de la presente contratación no admite fraccionamiento”).
The place of performance is the Ibermutua Málaga centre at Avd. Obispo Ángel Herrera Oria, 3, 29007 Málaga (Subentidad Nacional ES617).
The estimated value is 1,350 EUR (without VAT) and the tender budget is 1,633.50 EUR (with 21% VAT).
The execution period is one month: the internal document forecasts a start on 01/11/2026 and an end on 30/11/2026; the platform shows a “Plazo de Ejecución 1 Mes(es)”, and it is stated that there are no extensions (“no se contemplan prórrogas”).
Show all 29 statements
Payment is to be made, as indicated, once the machine has been supplied and installed and the work report (parte de trabajo) has been issued.
As for award criteria and weighting, the procedure is described as abierto simplificado with criteria evaluables mediante fórmulas.
The listing states that the only award criterion is price with a weighting of 100 points (“Precio… 100 Ponderación”), and the total score is 100.
The Memoria justificativa echoes that the evaluation criteria are “criterios cuantificables mediante fórmulas” with a maximum of 100 points and “1. Precio 100; TOTAL 100”.
The text mentions, as an example, considerations about an extended legal guarantee (repair of failures, labour and parts, product replacement if irreparable), but in the transcribed excerpt this appears as an explanatory note rather than as a separate scored criterion; in the platform summary, no additional weighted criteria beyond price are listed.
Therefore, price is the only formal award criterion according to the published notice.
With respect to risks and special conditions, the tender is low-value, so the risk profile is limited and no specific penalties or performance guarantees are described in the excerpts provided.
The text notes that subcontracting is permitted “según lo indicado en el apartado 13 del PCAP”, so any limitations or obligations around subcontracting, as well as any performance bond, penalties, or detailed execution conditions, would be in the PCAP which is not reproduced here.
The offer validity period is clearly set at 3 months (“Plazo de Validez de la Oferta 3 Mes(es)”).
The deadline for the submission of bids is 04/11/2026 at 12:00, with opening of the single envelope/economic offers at 12:30 the same day; the deadline for obtaining the tender documents is the same as the submission deadline.
There is no reference to a mandatory or voluntary site visit, nor to a formal deadline for questions; instead, the platform provides contact details (phone, fax, and the email [email protected]) for additional information.
Payment risk is mitigated by prior confirmation of the availability of adequate and sufficient credit and by stating that payment will be made once the machine is delivered and installed.
A contract manager is designated (Dª Paula García Parra), which clarifies responsibilities during execution.
The only evident conceptual inconsistency is that, such as in the procedural justification, the text refers to the conditions for the simplified open procedure in art. 159.6 LCSP as if it were for “contratos de servicios”, whereas this contract is clearly a supply contract (“Tipo de Contrato: Suministros; Subtipo: Adquisición”).
However, this appears to be a standardised wording error and does not affect the main procedural choice (the value is below 60,000 EUR and the contract is not of intellectual nature).
There is also a minor tension between the Memoria justificativa mentioning “criterios de adjudicación” including an extended warranty content and the platform summary showing price as the sole scoring criterion, but numerically and formally only price is given a weighting.
In case of conflict, the applicable rule in Spanish procurement is that the PCAP (Pliego de Cláusulas Administrativas Particulares) prevails; since the extracts repeatedly refer back to section 13 of the PCAP and that document is not provided here, any definitive resolution of contradictions would follow what the PCAP states, with the platform announcement and the Memoria acting as complementary and interpretative references.
