Open simplified tender for defence supply to the Spanish Navy (Tercio de Armada)
The input text concerns a Spanish public procurement procedure under the Ministry of Defence (Armada Española), specifically an open simplified abbreviated tender for a supply contract for “material de apoyo” (support equipment) for reconnaissance units of the Marine Infantry Brigade “Tercio de Armada”.
All documents and references are clearly from Spain (Spanish legal framework, Spanish contracting authority in Cádiz/San Fernando, Spanish CPV and budget references), so the point of view is that of Spanish public procurement law (Ley 9/2017 de Contratos del Sector Público and Ley 24/2011).
Such as indicated in the “Memoria justificativa” and “Memoria justificativa de la necesidad”, the background is the operational need of the Brigada de Infantería de Marina – Tercio de Armada to maintain reconnaissance capabilities for national and international missions, including peacekeeping operations.
Because the normal internal supply chain cannot provide the required material in time and form, the Intendente de San Fernando initiates a specific supply contract, with an estimated value of 49,586.78 EUR (base without VAT) and a maximum budget of 60,000 EUR (including 21% VAT), under an “procedimiento abierto simplificado abreviado” as per article 159.6 LCSP.
Regarding what the bidder must submit and minimum qualification requirements, the tender is run as an “Sobre Único” (single envelope) procedure with electronic submission via PLACSP.
Such as stated in the tender details, the single envelope contains “Documentación administrativa y proposición económica”, i.e. the standard administrative documentation (including the usual declarations of not being subject to exclusion and of fulfilling general conditions, as per LCSP and PCAP) plus the economic offer (price).
For solvency, the tender explicitly relies on art. 159.6.b LCSP and states that no technical-professional solvency based on “trabajos realizados” and no economic-financial solvency based on “cifra anual de negocio” are required.
The text provided does not mention any specific requirements on turnover, references, professional liability insurance or particular certificates beyond what is generally implied by participation in Spanish public tenders (e.g. tax and social security compliance), which will be detailed in the PCAP (Pliego de Cláusulas Administrativas Particulares) referenced by number 148893137.PDF.
Concerning the scope of the contract (what, how much, where, when), the object is consistently described as “Suministro Abierto de material de apoyo para la compañía y secciones de reconocimiento de la Brigada de Infantería de Marina ‘Tercio de Armada’” and classified under CPV 38424000 – “Equipo de medida y de control”, indicating that the items are measurement and control equipment for reconnaissance activities.
The financial scope is fixed with a base tender budget of 49,586.78 EUR (without VAT) and a total maximum of 60,000 EUR (with 21% VAT).
Such as explained in the financial summary, the contract is fully charged to a specific defence budget application, with no options or prorogations (“Opciones: NO PROCEDE según cláusula 7.1 del Anexo I del PCAP”).
The place of performance is Cádiz (subentity ES612), concretely the “Almacén de Armamento y Material del Tercio de Armada” at Población Militar de San Carlos, Paseo Capitán Conforto s/n, 11100 San Fernando – Naval (Cádiz), or another location inside Tercio de Armada facilities designated by the contract manager.

The execution period is described in two ways: in the notice and tender sheet as “desde la formalización del contrato hasta el 10 diciembre de 2026 o entrega total del suministro, lo que suceda antes, según cláusula 7.1 del Anexo I del PCAP”, whereas another internal memorandum mentions “hasta el 31 de diciembre de 2026 o agotamiento del crédito disponible”.
The binding statement is the reference to clause 7.1 PCAP and the published notice, so for bidders the applicable period is from formalization until 10 December 2026 or full delivery, whichever occurs first.
On award criteria and weighting, the tender is framed legally as an “abierto simplificado abreviado único criterio” (article 159.6 LCSP), and one internal document states: “El único criterio de adjudicación será el precio”.
Such as detailed in the tender conditions, the system of evaluation uses automatically quantifiable criteria via formulas: “Descuento Precio” (price discount) with a weighting of 95 points, and “Incremento de Garantía” (extension/increase of warranty) with a weighting of 5 points.
Both are treated as “criterios evaluables mediante aplicación de fórmulas”, meaning that price is overwhelmingly predominant, while extended warranty provides a small additional score, but no subjective or qualitative criteria are used.
On risks and special conditions, the documents outline several execution-related obligations.
Such as specified in the internal memorandum, all supplied material must carry a warranty period of at least two years; additionally, the tender allows scoring for “incremento de garantía”, incentivizing the bidder to offer longer warranty periods.
Subcontracting is permitted up to 5% of the contract value “si procede” according to clause 19.2 of the PCAP, so large subcontracting shares are not allowed.
The contract foresees electronic invoicing (“Se aceptará factura electrónica: Sí”), but not electronic ordering (“pedido electrónico: No”) nor electronic payment.
Standard LCSP and PCAP provisions on penalties for delay, non-compliance, guarantees (fianza), and validity period of offers are not spelled out in the excerpt but are implied; no specific site visit obligation is mentioned, and no explicit question deadline beyond the general offer deadline (03/11/2026 at 09:00) appears in the provided passages, so bidders must consult PLACSP and the PCAP for any clarification periods.
Regarding contradictions or corrections within the documents, the main differences concern the end date of the execution period and the description of award criteria.
One memorandum proposes an execution until “31 de diciembre de 2026 o agotamiento del crédito disponible”, while the published tender documentation and explanatory notes linked to clause 7.1 PCAP state “hasta el 10 diciembre de 2026 o entrega total del suministro, lo que suceda antes”.
In Spanish public procurement, the PCAP and the official notice prevail over internal memoranda, so bidders should rely on the 10 December 2026 date and the “no options/no prorogations” rule.
Similarly, while a document says “único criterio de adjudicación será el precio”, the detailed tender sheet lists 95 points for price and 5 points for warranty increase; because the sheet explicitly identifies both as adjudication criteria evaluated by formulas, these combined criteria (with predominant weight on price) are the operative ones for bid evaluation.
In case of doubt, the clauses of the PCAP and the officially published tender details on PLACSP are the binding references.
Only the contracting authority's tender documents are binding. As of: 24/10/2026
