What the buyer is looking for
The purpose of this project is to define, technically and economically, the replacement works of the Ma-1015 road sanitation network between numbers 20 and 36. Complementary pavement works of sidewalks and roads are also defined. The replacement of this section of network is considered a priority because the maintenance works have detected that the existing collector has been eroded and is close to collapse, so the risk of collapse is very high, with the consequent risk of accidental discharge of large volumes of wastewater and the risk of accident since it is a road of the Ma-1015 road. 2.

Public works tender for sewer network replacement in Calvià (Mallorca, Spain)
The input text concerns a Spanish public works tender issued by the municipal company Calvià 2000, S.A. for the “Obra sustitución red saneamiento carretera MA‑1015 nº 20‑36 T.M. Calvià”.
It is clearly a Spanish‑law procurement procedure under the Ley de Contratos del Sector Público (LCSP), advertised on the Plataforma de Contratación del Sector Público and referring to the ROLECE and Spanish corporate/individual tax documentation.
The tender is from the point of view of the Spanish contracting authority, although some meta‑information appears in German (“Seite”) as part of the document extraction process, without changing the legal or geographical focus (Spain, Mallorca).
Such as regards bidder submissions and minimum qualification: offers must be presented electronically via PLACSP, using the “MODELO OFERTA.xlsx” and the “DECLARACION RESPONSABLE.pdf”.
At the bidding stage, economic and technical solvency and resource commitments are only declared through a “declaración de aptitud”; the underlying evidence (such as annual accounts, Model 347, certificates of good execution, CVs/titles, machinery lists) is only required from the successful tenderer when requested by the contracting authority.
Solvency economic‑financial is defined as an annual turnover of at least 1.5 times the annual VEC, i.e. 216,662.62 EUR in one of the last three closed financial years, evidenced by approved and deposited annual accounts (for companies) or Model 347 (for individuals).
Solvency technical‑professional requires, among others, (i) a list of similar works over the last five years whose highest annual executed amount ≥ 70% of the annual average of the contract, plus corresponding certificates of good execution; (ii) declaration of technical staff and organisations, with supporting documents; (iii) academic/professional titles of the company’s managers and the site‑responsible staff; and (iv) declaration of machinery, material and equipment.
Additionally, the tender states a required business classification: Group E, Subgroup 1, Category 1 (“Abastecimientos y saneamientos”), though for contracts under 500,000 EUR the bidder may prove solvency either via classification or via the specific solvency requirements just described.
Administrative admission conditions include: capacity to contract, no prohibition to contract or incompatibility, fulfilment of Social Security and tax obligations, pre‑registration in ROLECE (and declaration of no changes), and for foreign companies a declaration of submission to Spanish law.
Such as concerns the scope of the contract: the object is the replacement of about 180 metres of a single, deteriorated sewer collector in service on the MA‑1015 road, between numbers 20 and 36 in the municipality of Calvià (Mallorca, ES532).
The CPV codes include 45232410 (main), 45232400, 45232411, 45232440 and 45232450, all relating to sewerage and wastewater pipeline works.
The works, as described, involve trench excavation, installation of new conduits, connections, backfilling, and pavement reinstatement, plus traffic regulation and provisional pumping systems to keep the network operational during replacement.

The estimated value (VEC) and net tender budget (PBAL, IVA excluded) are both 144,441.75 EUR; the gross amount shown in the platform is 174,774.52 EUR (including IVA in practice, although the pliegos are prepared without IVA as cost, due to Calvià 2000’s partial deductibility and tax treatment).
The execution period is two months from the signing of the replanteo verification act, with the caveat that municipal ordinances may impose a summer high‑season stoppage, effectively extending calendar duration.
Start of replanteo must occur within a maximum of one week after the authority’s request.
The works are remunerated at a lump sum (a tanto alzado) with no unit prices, and the cost breakdown is 77% direct costs and 23% indirect costs.
There is no division into lots, explicitly justified on technical and coordination grounds.
Such as for award criteria and weighting: the contract is processed under an “procedimiento abierto simplificado” and the award is based exclusively on the price, with “precio más bajo” as the only criterion.
The price criterion is evaluated with a formula up to 100 points: (OfM / OfP) x PUN, where OfM is the lowest valid bid, OfP is the bidder’s price, and PUN is the total points assigned to price (in practice PUN = 100).
No qualitative criteria, variants or improvements are admitted.
There is no electronic auction.
Such as relates to risks and special conditions: special environmental conditions require minimising noise and vibrations, scheduling disruptive tasks at times compatible with citizens’ rest, and segregating recyclable materials into separate containers; these conditions are explicitly stated not to be “obligaciones esenciales” nor “infracciones graves” under LCSP.
During works, the sewer network must remain in service; the contractor must provide temporary pumping equipment, generators, mixed vacuum trucks, hoses, and isolation devices to avoid spills of wastewater.
The guarantee regime includes: no provisional guarantee; a definitive guarantee equal to 5% of the contract amount, in any form allowed under LCSP art. 108.1; no complementary guarantee; and a one‑year warranty period from reception of the works.
Price revision does not apply (“No procede revisión de precios”).
No additional penalties or special termination causes beyond those in the LCSP are foreseen.
Subcontracting is allowed under LCSP art. 215, but the bidder must indicate in its offer the portion of the contract to be subcontracted via a specific “Declaración relativa a la subcontratación” document available in the profile; crucially, the engineer (jefe de obra) and site foreman (encargado de obra), considered critical roles, cannot be subcontracted and must belong to the awarding company.
The jefe de obra must hold a suitable university degree (Civil, Public Works, Industrial engineering or equivalents, including pre‑Bologna and current Grado/Master qualifications under specific CIN orders) and have proven experience, with at least 50% dedication; the foreman must have full‑time dedication.
There is no mention of a compulsory site visit or question deadline beyond the general deadline for obtaining documents and submitting offers (09/11/2026 at 23:59).
Invoice must not be electronic (“No se aceptará factura electrónica”).
Such as for contradictions or corrections within the documents: the main apparent discrepancy is between platform fields showing a “Presupuesto base de licitación – Importe 174.774,52 EUR, Importe (sin impuestos) 144.441,75 EUR” and the pliego/memoria language, which repeatedly state “PBAL: 144.441,75 € (más IVA en vigor)” and “VEC: 144.441,75 € (IVA no incluido)”.
This is reconciled by understanding that 144,441.75 EUR is the base amount net of IVA and 174,774.52 EUR is the total including IVA as shown in the electronic notice; the contracting authority’s internal pliegos deliberately exclude IVA from the cost due to its particular deduction regime.
Another point that might look inconsistent is that the platform lists “clasificación empresarial solicitada E1‑1” while the pliego clarifies that, given VEC < 500,000 EUR, classification is optional and solvency may be proven either through classification or through the specific turnover and references criteria; in practice, the pliego’s explanation governs how solvency can be accredited.
Likewise, the award section in the platform shows “Precio – Ponderación: 0 – Cantidad Mínima: 100 – Cantidad Máxima: [blank]”, but the narrative in the pliegos and in the initiation agreement clearly applies 100 points to price and gives the explicit formula; thus, the detailed pliego text should be considered authoritative for scoring.
Only the contracting authority's tender documents are binding. As of: 23/10/2026
