Servicio de mantenimiento y verificación metrológica de etilómetros y analizadores de drogas de la Policía Local de Sevilla (Expte. 2026/SSV/001041)
The input text concerns a Spanish public procurement procedure launched by the Ayuntamiento de Sevilla (Spain) for a service contract.
All references are from the point of view of Spanish contracting law (Ley 9/2017 de Contratos del Sector Público – LCSP) and Spanish administrative practice.
No other countries are mentioned.
As background, the documents include: the contract notice on the Plataforma de Contratación del Sector Público, a “memoria justificativa”, the initiation resolution, the Government Board resolution approving the expediente and the budget, and some annexed notices.
They describe a “contrato de servicios” for 12 months, processed as “tramitación anticipada de gasto” and awarded by “procedimiento abierto simplificado abreviado” under article 159.6 LCSP, with all criteria evaluable by formula.
The pliego de cláusulas administrativas particulares (PCAP) and technical specifications are referenced but not reproduced in the text; where the text says “según lo establecido en el PCAP”, the detailed content is therefore not visible here.
Regarding what bidders must submit and minimum requirements, the tender uses a single electronic envelope (“sobre único”) via PLACSP containing administrative documentation and the automatically quantifiable criteria (the price offer).
The notice states that bidders must meet the general conditions of participation: capacity to contract, no prohibition to contract, no incompatibilities, and being up to date with social security and tax obligations, all “según lo establecido en el PCAP y sus Anexos”.
Additionally, bidders must be preregistered in ROLECE and declare that there have been no changes in their registered data.
The memoria explicitly states that in this “procedimiento abierto simplificado abreviado” bidders are exempt from having to accredit economic/financial solvency and technical/professional solvency (no specific turnover, references, insurance or technical certificates are required beyond what may derive from general capacity).
National exclusion grounds are highlighted for firms with 50+ employees: non‑compliance with the 2% reserved quota for workers with disabilities and non‑compliance with the obligation to have an equality plan under LO 3/2007.

Regarding the scope (what, how much, where, when), the object is consistently described as: “Servicio de mantenimiento, revisiones y/o reparaciones y su envío, por parte del adjudicatario, al Centro Español de Metrología (CEM), de los equipos etilómetros y analizadores de drogas, adscritos a la Policía Local.” The service includes technical repairs, periodic verifications required by Orden ICT/155/2020, and the management of shipping the devices to CEM and paying the related fees on behalf of the Ayuntamiento.
Quantities of equipment are not detailed in the excerpts, but the estimated value and budget are: valor estimado 17.787,84 € (sin IVA), presupuesto base de licitación 17.787,84 € + 21% IVA (3.735,45 €) = 21.523,29 € (con IVA), imputable a la partida 01041.13202.21300 del presupuesto 2027.
The place of performance is Sevilla (código ES618), with the Policía Local as user and the Jefe de la Policía Local as contract manager.
The execution period is 12 months from 1 January 2027 to 31 December 2027.
Offer submission is electronic via PLACSP until 04/11/2026 at 23:59, with opening of the single envelope on 05/11/2026 at 09:00.
Concerning award criteria and weighting, the tender is purely price‑based.
The notice and the memoria state that only criteria evaluable by formula are used, with one single criterion: “Oferta económica: Precio”, with weighting 100%.
The memoria clarifies that what is assessed is “el mayor porcentaje de baja ofertado sobre los precios unitarios establecidos” and that the scoring formula is proportional and linear around the mean of the offers so that small price differences do not generate disproportionate score gaps.
Non‑price qualitative criteria do not apply because the service is considered perfectly defined and not subject to variation, so price is the only determinant of award.
As for risks and special conditions, the contract is processed as “tramitación anticipada de gastos” under article 117.2 LCSP; the Government Board resolution subjects the award to a suspensive condition of existence of adequate and sufficient budget credit for 2027.
This is a legal/financial risk: if credit is not finally available, the contract may not be executed.
Execution conditions specified include social clauses: it will be a special performance condition to comply during the whole execution period with the relevant collective bargaining agreement indicated in the offer, and there are “condiciones especiales de ejecución en materia de subcontratación” (details in the PCAP, not reproduced).
The contract requires electronic invoicing but not electronic ordering or payment.
The validity period of offers is one month (“Plazo de validez de la oferta: 1 mes”).
No mention is made of bid guarantees, performance guarantees, penalties, or mandatory site visits in the excerpts; if any exist, they would have to be checked directly in the PCAP.
There is no electronic auction and no EU‑funding.
A separate information note warns suppliers against phishing emails, instructing them to verify that official emails end in @sevilla.org and to use usual phone/email contacts, which is a practical risk‑mitigation measure against fraud but not a contractual condition.
Regarding contradictions or corrections between documents, the information is internally consistent: the object, budget (17.787,84 € + 3.735,45 € = 21.523,29 €), procedure type (abierto simplificado abreviado), execution period (01/01/2027–31/12/2027), and sole award criterion (price 100%) are repeated identically in the notice, memoria, iniciación and Government Board resolution.
One minor variation in wording appears (“procedimiento abierto simplificado” vs. “abierto simplificado abreviado”), but the memoria and resolutions clearly specify article 159.6 LCSP, so the applicable interpretation is that it is the abbreviated simplified open procedure.
Where there is any generic cross‑reference (for example “según lo establecido en el PCAP”), the PCAP prevails as the detailed legal document, but nothing in the excerpts suggests concrete conflicts between texts.
Only the contracting authority's tender documents are binding. As of: 22/10/2026
