Public procurement of technical assistance for a distributed, resilient and sovereign communications core
The input text concerns a Spanish public tender launched by the Ministerio de Defensa (Ejército de Tierra), specifically by the Sección de Asuntos Económicos de la JCISAT, for a service contract of technical assistance related to a 5G communications core architecture in tactical environments.
The documents reflect the point of view of Spanish central government contracting under the Ley 9/2017 de Contratos del Sector Público, with references to EU directives but the contract is explicitly “no sujeto a regulación armonizada.” All institutions, legal bases and locations mentioned are in Spain (Madrid and Pozuelo de Alarcón).
Such as in the tender notice and the contracting approval resolution, the scope is defined as “SECOPS.
Asistencia técnica para la investigación y validación de una arquitectura de núcleo de comunicaciones distribuido, resiliente y soberano para entornos tácticos.” The estimated value of the contract is 114.176 EUR (net), with a presupuesto base de licitación of 138.152,96 EUR (IVA incluido).
The place of performance is JCISAT – SUBCIS (Sección de Operaciones), Acuartelamiento “Capitán Sevillano”, Avenida de Radiotelevisión, 6, 28223 Pozuelo de Alarcón (Madrid).
The plazo de ejecución is 15 days, to be counted from the day after formalization of the contract until 11 December 2026; an internal justification document and the GEMAPER 09/19 annex mention a service period “desde el 01/11/2026 hasta el 11/12/2026,” which indicates the planned operational window but the binding performance term is the one in the tender (“desde el siguiente al de la fecha de su formalización hasta el 11 de diciembre de 2026”).
Such as in the “Condiciones de licitación” section, bidders must submit their offers electronically via PLACSP (Plataforma de Contratación del Sector Público) by the deadline “Hasta el 08/11/2026 a las 12:00.” The offer is structured in two electronic “sobres”: Sobre 1 contains the documentación administrativa, where the bidder must accredit compliance with participation requirements, including economic and technical solvency.
Sobre 2 contains the “criterios cuantificables automáticamente,” i.e. the economic offer and the elements evaluable by formula.
Minimum economic-financial solvency requires a “cifra anual de negocio” (volume of business) in the best of the last three financial years at least equal to the net amount of the contract (114.176 EUR); this must be evidenced by the latest annual accounts filed in the Registro Mercantil.
Technical-professional solvency is based on “trabajos realizados” and is defined in detail in Punto 9.1 “Solvencia económica financiera – técnica profesional” of Anexo I del PCAP (not reproduced in the excerpt but explicitly referenced).
No specific requirement for insurance or particular certificates (beyond what is set in PCAP) appears in the notice, but there is a specific award criterion tied to possession of a “certificado de usuario final.”
Show all 20 statements
Such as in the award criteria list, the tender uses an open procedure with a plurality of criteria (“procedimiento abierto,” article 38 LCSP) and is described in an oficio as “abierto simplificado,” though the notice simply states “Abierto, tramitación ordinaria.” The adjudication criteria are all “evaluables mediante fórmulas” with explicit weightings: (1) Offering a 5G communications core software of own development – 20 points; (2) Providing, at the start of the assistance, technical user manuals for the 5G core software in Spanish – 10 points; (3) End-user certificate (“Certificado de usuario final”) – 30 points; (4) Price – 40 points.
The total weighting sums to 100 points, with price being the single most important criterion but with a strong technical emphasis on proprietary 5G core capability and documentation, plus the formal end-user certification, which likely relates to defense-specific compliance.
A definitive performance guarantee of 5% of the contract amount is required.
The awardee must comply with ILO Convention No. 111 on discrimination in employment and occupation and ILO Convention No. 100 on equal remuneration.
Execution conditions include acceptance of electronic invoicing (“Se aceptará factura electrónica: Sí”), no use of electronic purchase order and no electronic payment system.
The contract is not financed with EU funds and is not subject to harmonized regulation.
Questions and requests for clarification must be directed to the Sección de Asuntos Económicos de la JCISAT via the contact details (phone 917803435 and email [email protected]) within the timeframe allowed by PLACSP; no compulsory site visit is mentioned.
Regarding contradictions or corrections, the documents show some internal variations in terminology and dates, such as the oficio referring to the procedure as “Abierto simplificado” while the notice labels it broadly as “procedimiento abierto,” and the GEMAPER annex describing the required service period starting 01/11/2026, while the notice and contract conditions fix the execution period relative to formalization and ending on 11/12/2026.
Only the contracting authority's tender documents are binding. As of: 24/10/2026
