Contracting of preventive medical services for social events in Marbella
The input text concerns a public procurement procedure in Spain, specifically from the Ayuntamiento de Marbella (Marbella City Council), for the “Contratación por cuenta abierta de los Servicios Sanitarios‑Preventivos de los Eventos de la Delegación de Derechos Sociales”.
It is framed under Spanish public procurement law (Ley 9/2017 de Contratos del Sector Público, LCSP) and Spanish budgetary and tax rules, and the point of view is clearly that of a Spanish local authority acting as contracting authority.
Such as with regard to what the bidder must submit and the minimum qualification requirements, the documents specify that participation is electronic via PLACSP and that a single envelope (“Sobre único”) must be presented containing both administrative documentation and the offer subject to automatic formula‑based evaluation.
Bidders must submit the Documento Europeo Único de Contratación (DEUC) to prove general capacity to contract, and a “Declaración Responsable” according to Annex I of the PCAP.
As solvency evidence, economic‑financial solvency requires an annual turnover equal or superior to the annual value of the contract (10.000 €); the explanatory text also mentions, such as, that the volume of business for the year of greatest turnover among the last three should be at least 1.5 times the estimated value of the contract (which suggests a stricter interpretation).
Technical/professional solvency requires a list of main similar services performed in the last three years with an annual amount in the best year of at least 70% of the estimated contract value, i.e. 21.000 €, supported by certificates from public or private clients.
Alternatively, classification “GRUPO R / SUBGRUPO 2 / CATEGORÍA 1” may be provided.
For new companies (less than 5 years), solvency can be shown by indicating available technical staff or units and quality‑control personnel.
Such as regarding the scope of the contract (what, how much, where, when), the object is the provision of sanitary‑preventive services (ambulance services) for events organized by the Delegación de Derechos Sociales, including, specifically, class C (SVA‑UVI) ambulances and class B (SVB) ambulances, plus associated staff (doctor, nurse/DUE, technician, adapted vehicle).
The service covers the different districts of Marbella (Marbella Este, Marbella Oeste, Nueva Andalucía, Las Chapas), and is justified by an internal “insuficiencia de medios” report stating the municipality lacks its own personnel and means.
The contract is set up as a “contrato por cuenta abierta”: the 10.000 € annual budget is orientative, and only actually performed and conforming services will be paid; there is no obligation for the city to reach that amount, and if the city stops needing the service, the contractor has no right to indemnity.
Initial duration is 1 year from formalization (which occurs upon electronic acceptance of award in a simplified open summary procedure) with up to two annual extensions (1+1), potentially mandatory for the contractor subject to two‑month pre‑notice at the exclusive decision of the Ayuntamiento.

Services are exempt from VAT under Art. 20 Ley 37/1992.
The submission deadline for offers is 4 November 2026 at 23:59; the offer validity period is 2 months.
Such as in relation to award criteria and their weighting, the contract uses only automatically evaluable criteria via formulas, totaling 100 points.
Up to 49 points are allocated to the economic offer as a single uniform discount on the unit prices defined in the technical specifications (e.g. 190 €/h class C ambulance, 150 €/h class B ambulance, 145 €/h doctor, 130 €/h nurse, 120 €/h technician, 168 €/h adapted vehicle).
The formula Pi = 49 × (Bi / Bmax) is applied, where Bi is the discount of each bidder and Bmax the highest discount offered, excluding offers above the budget and identifying abnormally low bids according to RD 1098/2001.
Up to 51 points are “quality” criteria: (a) antigüedad de vehículos adscritos (max 15 points) for committing up to three vehicles less than 2 years old; (b) adscripción de un número adicional de vehículos (max 16 points) for committing one extra class C ambulance for up to two events free of charge, as designated by the Delegación; (c) equipamiento / vehicles with environmental ECO category (max 20 points) for committing up to three ECO‑classified ambulances.
Justification texts explain why these criteria are linked to reliability, capacity, and environmental sustainability.
Such as for risks and special conditions, the documents state that no definitive guarantee is required (0%), and no division into lots is allowed due to the need for unified coordination and technical complexity, meaning a single contractor must provide all services.
There is a two‑month guarantee period from acceptance act.
Special execution conditions include a social clause requiring payment of staff wages in accordance with the applicable sector collective agreement (IV Convenio Colectivo del Transporte Sanitario de Andalucía and minimum wage rules) and compliance with social security and taxes.
In addition, there is an explicit statement that the contract does not generate further municipal costs beyond service payments (no maintenance, insurance, etc. for the authority) and is consistent with stability and sustainability rules; the multiannual impact is 10.000 € per year for base year and two possible extensions (total 30.000 €).
Subcontracting rules are not detailed in the excerpts; guarantees and penalties beyond the guarantee percentage are similarly not specified in the provided text.
Questions or interpretation issues about the pliego are resolved by the contracting authority; its resolution exhausts administrative remedies, with possibility of optional reposición within one month and contentious‑administrative appeal before the Tribunal Superior de Justicia de Andalucía within two months.
No site visit is mentioned, and there is no electronic auction.
One apparent discrepancy arises in solvency economic thresholds: the specific solvency section requires annual turnover equal or greater than the annual contract value (10.000 €), while the justification section refers to requiring turnover at least 1.5 times the estimated contract value; in practice, the binding requirement for bidders is the explicit quantitative threshold set in the solvencia clause of the pliegos, so the figure actually demanded there (10.000 €) should be applied, with the explanatory passage seen as a general rationale rather than an alternative rule.
Another potential confusion is the “valor estimado del contrato” given as 10.000 €, while related texts calculate a multiannual budget impact of 30.000 € (10.000 €/year × 3 years); here, the 10.000 € figure is used as the annual value and the basis for solvency and pricing, whereas 30.000 € is the total possible expenditure over the base year plus two extensions, and the practical rule for bidders is that their discount applies to the defined unit prices and the annual budget ceiling of 10.000 €.
Only the contracting authority's tender documents are binding. As of: 23/10/2026
