Licitación para el suministro de Gasóleo C en colegios y edificios públicos de Tomelloso
The input text concerns a public procurement procedure launched by the Ayuntamiento de Tomelloso (Spain) for the supply of Gasóleo C for heating in schools and municipal buildings.
It is framed explicitly under Spanish public procurement law (Ley 9/2017 de Contratos del Sector Público, LCSP) and refers to EU-level fuel price references (OIL BULLETIN of the Directorate General for Energy of the European Union), so the country perspective is Spanish, within the EU regulatory context.
The documentation includes the justification report (memoria), the governing body’s certification of the approval of the procedure, the basic terms of the contract (scope, duration, budget) and the tender notice on the Plataforma de Contratación del Sector Público (PLACSP).
As for what the bidder must submit and minimum qualification requirements, the tender is processed as an open procedure with electronic submission via PLACSP, divided into two digital “sobres” (files): Sobre 1 for administrative documentation and Sobre 2 for the economic offer.
Capacity to contract is evidenced through the DEUC (European Single Procurement Document).
Regarding technical-professional solvency, bidders must be able to provide, once proposed as awardee, (such as) a relation of main similar supplies over the last three years (with amounts, dates and clients), samples/descriptions/photographs of the fuel products to be supplied, and quality control certificates issued by recognized official institutes or services.
Economic-financial solvency must also be accredited once proposed as awardee, (such as) proof of a professional liability insurance equal to or above the estimated value of the contract (215,000 EUR) and evidence of annual turnover (general or specific to the contract’s field) in the best of the last three years at least equal to that estimated value.
No business classification (clasificación empresarial) is required.
The scope of the contract is clearly defined as the “Suministro de gasóleo C para calefacción en colegios y edificios públicos municipales” in Tomelloso (subentidad territorial ES422, Ciudad Real, Spain).
The contract is for one year, from 1 January 2027 (or from contract formalisation if later) until 31 December 2027, with the option of one additional year of extension (potentially up to 31 December 2028).
The estimated value is 215,000 EUR, with an annual budget base of 130,075 EUR (107,500 EUR before VAT and 22,575 EUR VAT).
However, the authority explicitly states it is not obliged to exhaust the full budget or acquire a fixed volume; actual expenditure will depend on the discount offered and real deliveries according to municipal needs.
Show all 27 statements
The price per liter of fuel will be calculated by applying the successful bidder’s percentage discount (before VAT) to the “precio básico del combustible para España” as published in the EU’s OIL BULLETIN; if there is a temporary gap in publication (such as holiday periods), the last published price remains valid.
Award criteria and weighting are simple and price-only.
The documentation stresses that, due to the very precisely defined object, the only criterion for award is the economic one: the percentage discount on the basic EU bulletin price.
In the PLACSP notice, the single award criterion is described as “PORCENTAJE DE DESCUENTO SOBRE EL PRECIO BÁSICO DE LOS COMBUSTIBLES” with a weighting of 100 (i.e. 100% of the score).
The contract is processed under ordinary (not urgent) procedure, through an open tender, not subject to EU harmonised procurement thresholds.
Offers classified as abnormally low will be those whose total score exceeds by more than 20 percentage points the arithmetic mean of total scores of all bidders, according to the specific clause on “ofertas anormalmente bajas.” The opening of economic offers (Sobre 2) is non-presential and will take place within ten days after opening of Sobre 1.
Regarding risks and special conditions, the award is subject to a suspensive condition: the effective consolidation of financial resources and availability of adequate credit in the following year’s budget, as per art. 117.2 and Additional Provision 3 LCSP; the Junta de Gobierno’s certification explicitly states that both the initiation of the procedure and the adjudication are conditioned on this.
The contract includes at least one explicit special execution condition of an environmental nature, (such as) promoting product recycling and the use of reusable containers.
The tender documentation notes that the municipality is not obliged to purchase predetermined quantities, introducing a demand risk for the supplier tied to fluctuating consumption.
While the provided excerpts do not spell out detailed penalty, guarantee or subcontracting regimes, those would normally be covered in the full Pliego de Cláusulas Administrativas Particulares referenced as approved by the Junta de Gobierno.
Questions, access to documents and offer submission are coordinated through the contracting email addresses and PLACSP, with a deadline for offer submission and obtaining documents on 05/11/2026 at 23:59, defined as 15 calendar days from the day after publication.
There is a referenced room in the Town Hall (Sala de Reuniones de RRHH) for openings, but attendance is specifically noted as non-presential.
As for contradictions or corrections, the various documents (certificación, memoria justificativa, PLACSP tender notice) are consistent on key points: contract object, annual duration with one-year extension option, value (estimated 215,000 EUR, budget 130,075 EUR), start and end dates, single award criterion based on percentage discount, and non-requirement of company classification.
The solvency requirements in the PLACSP notice align with the general references to LCSP articles 87–89 in the memoria.
No explicit contradictory statements about quantities, prices or criteria appear in the excerpts; where there might seem overlap (such as differing expressions of duration or prórroga), the more detailed operational clauses in the Pliegos and the PLACSP notice should be taken as prevailing practical guidance, while the certification and memoria act as background and legal justification.
Only the contracting authority's tender documents are binding. As of: 23/10/2026
