Tender for the Supply of Liquefied Propane Gas to Spanish Army-Owned Tanks (JIAE Oeste)
The input text concerns a Spanish public procurement procedure under the Spanish Public Sector Procurement Law (Ley 9/2017, LCSP) from the point of view of Spain.
The contracting authority is the Jefatura de Intendencia de Asuntos Económicos Oeste (Spanish Ministry of Defence, Ejército de Tierra), and the contract is for the supply (“Suministro”) of liquefied propane gas to Army-owned tanks at various military centers in Valladolid and other locations indicated in the Technical Specifications (PPT).
The documentation includes the contract notice, the justification reports, and references to the Pliego de Cláusulas Administrativas Particulares (PCAP) and Pliego de Prescripciones Técnicas (PPT).
Regarding what the bidder must submit and minimum qualification requirements, the procedure is “Procedimiento Abierto simplificado” under article 159 LCSP, with a single electronic envelope (“SOBRE ÚNICO”) containing both administrative documentation and the automatically quantifiable criteria.
The text explicitly mentions as admission requirement “Capacidad de obrar - ROLECE”, meaning that bidders must be registered in the Spanish Official Register of Tenderers and Classified Companies (ROLECE), and that technical-professional solvency is also linked to ROLECE (“Criterio de Solvencia Técnica-Profesional: Otros – rolece”).
Motives for exclusion include in particular non-compliance with environmental legislation “según se establece en el PPT,” implying that bidders must be able to evidence compliance with applicable environmental rules for gas supply.
Specific forms, references, turnover figures, insurance or certificates beyond ROLECE and environmental compliance are not detailed in the excerpt and would be set out in the PCAP/PPT, which are referenced but not reproduced here.
The scope of the contract is clearly defined as “Suministro de Gas licuado propano en depósitos propiedad del ET” (supply of liquefied propane gas in tanks owned by the Spanish Army).
The estimated value is 99,998.35 EUR (net), with a maximum tender budget of 120,998.00 EUR (VAT included) for the 2027 financial year.
The execution period runs from 01/12/2026 to 30/11/2027.
The place of performance is Spain, Sub-entity Valladolid (ES418), “EN VARIOS CENTROS SEGÚN INDICA EL ANEXO 1 DEL PPT,” so the exact delivery locations and, presumably, indicative quantities per site are in PPT Annex 1. As indicated, such as “El plazo de entrega de los pedidos no podrá superar las 72 horas desde la notificación del mismo,” each order must be delivered within a maximum of 72 hours from notification.
The award criteria and weighting are spelled out both in the contracting authority’s “Memoria justificativa” and summarized in the notice.
Show all 25 statements
The procedure is “Abierto simplificado – pluralidad de criterios” (open simplified with multiple criteria).
The criteria to be applied are exclusively those evaluable by formula: 1) Price, with a weighting of 90 points; 2) Reduction of the delivery/execution time for the supply, with a weighting of 10 points.
The text notes, such as on the last pages of the Memoria, that these two criteria are the only ones and confirms that the evaluation is entirely formula-based (“Criterios evaluables mediante aplicación de fórmulas”).
There is no electronic auction (“subasta electrónica: No”).
The offer validity period is set at 3 months.
Risks and special conditions described in the text include, such as: a definitive performance guarantee of 5% of the contract amount (“Garantía Requerida Definitiva Porcentaje 5 %”); permission to subcontract (“Subcontratación permitida”); a specific social clause as a special condition of execution (“Condiciones especiales de ejecución de Contrato”), whereby the awarded company, in case of new hires, terminations or replacements of staff dedicated to the contract, must commit to employing persons in particular difficulty accessing the labor market in a percentage equal to or greater than 5% of those hirings.
The contract is not subject to the EU GPA and is not financed by EU funds.
The notice confirms that electronic ordering will not be used, but electronic invoicing is accepted (“Se aceptará factura electrónica: Sí”).
The deadline for submission of tenders is 04/11/2026 at 23:59 via the Plataforma de Contratación del Sector Público (PLACSP), and the opening of the economic offers is private on 05/11/2026 at 11:00 in the Sala de Juntas of JIAE Oeste in Valladolid.
No obligatory site visit or explicit question deadline is mentioned in the excerpt; any penalties for delay or other sanctions would be detailed in the PCAP, which the text notes has been approved but does not reproduce.
As to contradictions or corrections, there is a minor apparent inconsistency where one passage lists “Plazo de Presentación de Oferta Hasta el 04/11/2026 a las 23:59” followed immediately by “Hasta el 03/11/2026 a las 23:59” in the same block; however, in the later, cleaner summary of the same notice the submission deadline appears only as 04/11/2026 at 23:59, and the “Hasta el 03/11/2026” is clearly associated with “Plazo de Obtención de Pliegos” (deadline to obtain/download tender documents).
Accordingly, the applicable statements are: (i) obtaining documents until 03/11/2026 at 23:59; (ii) submission of offers until 04/11/2026 at 23:59.
There is otherwise internal consistency across documents on the core parameters such as object, budget (120,998 EUR), estimated value (99,998.35 EUR), execution period (01/12/2026–30/11/2027), procedures (open simplified), award criteria (price 90%, delivery time reduction 10%), guarantee (5%), and place of performance (various centers per PPT Annex 1 in Valladolid ES418).
Only the contracting authority's tender documents are binding. As of: 22/10/2026
