Public procurement of coworking services in Melilla (Spain)
The input text concerns a Spanish public procurement procedure launched by the Consejería de Economía, Comercio, Innovación Tecnológica, Turismo y Fomento of the Ciudad Autónoma de Melilla (Spain).
It deals with a “contrato mayor de servicios” for the reservation and management of coworking spaces to support technological entrepreneurship and innovative projects in Melilla.
The perspective is entirely that of Spanish public procurement law (Ley 9/2017, LCSP), applied at regional/municipal level in Melilla, with no other countries mentioned.
Such as described in the “Memoria justificativa” and notices, the contract’s general scope is to provide an external coworking space in Melilla for 12 months (01.11.2026–31.10.2027), with an estimated value of 57,692.31 € (IPSI excluded) and a contract budget of 60,000 € (IPSI included).
The service must include at least 15 coworking desks, 2 soundproof cabins with videoconference equipment, a reconfigurable events area (≥75 m², capacity ≥30 people), cleaning, maintenance, connectivity and access control, and support/monitoring services.
The coworking must be at street level (planta baja) with universal accessibility, commercial/tertiary planning use, public transport nearby (two lines within ≤300 m), public parking within ≤500 m, fibre ≥300 Mbps with SLA ≥99 %, a domotized access-control system, minimum opening hours (Mon–Fri 8:00–21:00, Sat 9:00–14:00) and civil liability insurance ≥150,000 €.
Regarding what bidders must submit and minimum qualification requirements, the texts indicate that the procedure is “abierto simplificado abreviado” under art. 159.6 LCSP and, in this framework, “no se exige a los licitadores la acreditación de solvencia económica, financiera, técnica ni profesional, ni la constitución de garantía definitiva”.
Instead, bidders must have the legal capacity to contract as required in point 12 of Annex I of the PCAP, but the proof of this capacity is requested only from the proposed awardee at the art. 150 LCSP stage.
For the offer submission phase, bidders only need to provide “Anexo III” in a single envelope (“Sobre OFERTA”) containing administrative documentation and automatically quantifiable criteria, via the Plataforma de Contratación within ten (10) days from publication, with electronic submission allowed until 15:00 of the working day following the formal deadline to cover technical issues.
There is no mention of requiring specific turnover levels, bank references, prior-experience references or specific certificates beyond the general capacity and the later proof that the technical minimums (including RC insurance ≥150,000 €) are met.
As for award criteria and weighting, the contract is evaluated exclusively on criteria “cuantificables mediante la mera aplicación de fórmulas”, with no subjective (judgement of value) criteria.
The main economic criterion is the price (“OFERTA ECONÓMICA: Precio”) weighted at 50 points.
Show all 22 statements
The technical/measurable improvement criteria, as listed (each with a maximum score indicated, even though the generic “Ponderación: 0” in the platform extract appears to be a formatting artefact), are: such as (i) ampliación del horario de apertura (6 points), (ii) incremento de jornadas y eventos incluidos (8 points), (iii) incremento del número de cabinas insonorizadas (8 points), (iv) incremento del número de puestos de trabajo disponibles (10 points), (v) mejora de la conectividad y ancho de banda (4 points), (vi) reducción del plazo de alta/activación de usuarios (6 points), and (vii) servicios adicionales incluidos sin coste (8 points).
The memory repeatedly justifies each criterion’s link to the contract’s object (capacity, availability, quality of service, speed of activation, added value) as required by arts. 145 and 116 LCSP.
On risks and special conditions, the documentation specifies that no “garantía definitiva” is required and that, under art. 159.6 LCSP, no formal solvency proof is demanded at the tendering stage.
Subcontracting is marked as “NO PROCEDE” (effectively not permitted or not foreseen).
The contract is not co‑financed by EU funds and is not subject to harmonized regulation.
Special performance conditions (art. 202 LCSP) include: such as (i) mandatory compliance with the applicable national sectoral collective bargaining agreement, (ii) proper management of waste generated in the space according to Melilla’s regulations, and (iii) an equality and non-discrimination policy in access for users designated by the City.
The texts also define the budgetary application (06/49200/29999), annual breakdown (10,000 € in 2026, 50,000 € in 2027), and designate a contract manager (responsable de la ejecución).
No explicit contractual penalties are quoted in the excerpts, but compliance with technical and accessibility conditions and public-law obligations is clearly framed as compulsory.
No site visit or specific question deadline apart from the general ten-day offer period is detailed in these fragments.
There is an “Referencia al Anuncio Anulado” pointing to a previous cancelled notice, but the current notices (with new IDs and time stamps) are the applicable ones.
Only the contracting authority's tender documents are binding. As of: 22/10/2026
