Public works tender for road safety improvement in Pontevedra (Spain)

The input text concerns a Spanish public procurement procedure launched by the Diputación Provincial de Pontevedra (Spain) for a road works contract titled “Mellora da seguridade viaria no treito antigo de Baldomar na EP‑5107 (Concello de Covelo)”.

It is framed under Spanish public sector contracting law (Ley 9/2017, LCSP) and EU Directive 2014/24/EU, but the contract is explicitly “no sujeto a regulación armonizada”.

The perspective is that of a Spanish local contracting authority detailing the legal regime, technical need, economic data and procedural rules for an open simplified tender conducted through the national Plataforma de Contratación del Sector Público.

Such as background and scope, the text explains that after inspection by the provincial infrastructure service, it was found necessary to improve drainage and renew pavement on the old section of the EP‑5107 between pk 0+147 and pk 1+120, with a total length of 973 m, connecting to the regional road PO‑261.

The object is the execution of the approved works project (CSV L39FN3O684OU7J7M), CPV 45000000 (construction works).

General admission conditions mentioned include legal capacity, no prohibition to contract, no incompatibilities, and compliance with tax and social security obligations.

For solvency, classification is accepted: Group G (roads and tracks), Subgroup 4 (with pavements and bituminous mixes), Category 2 (amount >150,000 € and ≤360,000 €).

If the bidder does not rely on classification, economic‑financial solvency must be proven via turnover: annual business volume of at least 1.5 times the estimated value (480,632.13 €) in accordance with art. 87 LCSP.

Technical or professional solvency requires a list of works executed over the last five years where the accumulated annual amount in the best year is at least 70% of the estimated value (224,294.99 €), with a special regime for newly created companies (less than five years old) who may rely on a declaration that they have the minimum material and human resources.

Additionally, there is a specific minimum staffing requirement: at least one contractor’s representative with ≥5 years’ experience in similar contracts, one site manager (Enxeñeiro de Camiños or equivalent) with ≥3 years’ similar experience, and one general foreman with ≥3 years’ similar experience, all to be declared as assigned resources.

The text also highlights ISO 9001 or equivalent as a quality system relevant to the contract, and the bidder must prepare and submit in “Sobre A” the administrative documentation and qualitative proposal (technical memory, work programme, environmental action plan), while “Sobre B” contains the economic offer and criteria evaluable by formula.

Such as award criteria and weighting, the contract is awarded on the basis of the “best quality‑price ratio” with a plurality of criteria.

Show all 22 statements

The overview from the platform shows formula‑based criteria: lower price (up to 60 points), extension of the percentage of quality control (up to 5 points, with justification that it may reach a maximum of 3% of the material execution budget), extension of the guarantee period (up to 5 points, with a maximum total of 36 months), and commitment to apply a quality control system equivalent to UNE‑EN ISO 9001 (up to 5 points).

In addition, a technical proposal evaluated by judgment of value can reach up to 25 points, covering aspects such as the work programme, organisational and operational capacity, environmental actions (waste reduction and recycling plans) and detailed quality assurance procedures.

The justification refers to case law (STS 205/2026) to support the use of maximum scoring caps and quality‑linked criteria.

Such as risks, special conditions and procedural deadlines, the text mentions that special execution conditions will be set in the particular clauses (PCAP) as mandated by art. 202 LCSP, notably social and environmental clauses.

Examples given include use of inclusive language, ensuring payment to subcontractors, and application of the latest sectoral and territorial collective agreement for working conditions.

The tender is processed under ordinary (not urgent) procedure, subject to open simplified deadlines: the announcement is published on 20‑10‑2026, with a minimum period of 20 calendar days for works in open simplified procedures, concretely a submission deadline of 10‑11‑2026 at 10:00, and private opening of economic offers on 12‑11‑2026 at 10:00 at the Diputación’s headquarters in Pontevedra.

There is no reference here to a mandatory site visit or a formal question deadline; instead, the general rule is that all information and documentation, including clarifications and resolutions, appears in the contracting authority’s profile on the Plataforma de Contratación del Sector Público.

Risks highlighted conceptually include the need for highly experienced staff due to safety and traffic impacts, and the requirement that safety and health and waste plans be approved before replanteo, which affects the effective start date and could cause delays if plans are inadequate.

Such as possible contradictions or corrections, the content reproduced is largely consistent across the Spanish‑language memos, the Galician‑language “Memoria xustificativa” and the Plataforma fichas: all confirm the same estimated value, budget, execution term (six months from the replanteo act subject to plan approval), non‑harmonised nature, open simplified procedure, no lots, no variants, unit price system and plural award criteria.

Therefore, where a generic clause and a specific clause differ, the specific statements in the PCAP and the Plataforma tender notice are the ones that apply.
