Public tender for ship refurbishment services by the Spanish Ministry of Defence
The input text concerns a Spanish public procurement procedure issued by the Ministry of Defence (Armada, Arsenal de Cádiz / Intendencia de San Fernando) for a service contract to remodel areas of the naval vessel “LA GRAÑA” (A‑53).
All documents are from the point of view of Spain as contracting authority, applying Spanish public procurement law (Ley 9/2017 de Contratos del Sector Público).
The text includes the contract notice, internal justifying memoranda, the order to initiate the procedure, the approval of expenditure, and a certificate of insufficiency of internal means.
In terms of what bidders must submit and minimum qualification requirements, the texts show that this is an open simplified abbreviated procedure under art. 159.6 LCSP, with a single electronic envelope submitted via the Plataforma de Contratación del Sector Público (PLACSP).
This single envelope must contain “documentación administrativa y proposición económica”, i.e. administrative documentation plus the economic offer.
The contract notice explicitly states that no specific technical-professional solvency (references of works performed) and no economic-financial solvency (annual turnover) are required, “no se exige según art. 159.6 apartado b de la LCSP”.
There is no mention in the provided excerpts of additional mandatory certificates, specific insurance, or standard forms beyond what the PCAP will define; these details lie in the Pliego de Cláusulas Administrativas Particulares (PCAP), which is referenced but not reproduced here.
Regarding the scope of the contract, the general object is consistently described as a service contract for the “remodelación del comedor de marinería y puertas del puente del buque LA GRAÑA”, i.e. refurbishment of the sailors’ mess and bridge doors on the vessel LA GRAÑA, based at the Estación Naval de Puntales but supported by the Arsenal de Cádiz.
The technical memory indicates that the contract covers, such as, the dismantling, supply/fabrication and installation of bulkheads, ceilings and furniture to update and improve habitability.
The estimated value and tender budget are 59,990 EUR (without VAT, with the operation apparently VAT‑exempt in the budget tables).
The place of performance is Cádiz (territorial code ES612).
As to duration, the notice states a 1‑month execution period “desde la formalización del contrato hasta el 10 de diciembre de 2026 o en la fecha en que el crédito quedase agotado (lo que ocurra antes), según cláusula 7.1 del Anexo I del PCAP”; a separate certificate of insufficiency of means adds that the deadline for final delivery and installation is 1 December 2026.

The award criteria and weighting are clearly defined and limited in number, as required for the simplified abbreviated procedure.
All criteria are “evaluables mediante aplicación de fórmulas”.
The criteria are: price, with a weighting of 90 points, and “incremento del plazo de garantía” (extension of the guarantee period), categorised as “Otros” with a weighting of 10 points.
Thus, the economic offer is clearly predominant, but with a secondary quantitative criterion rewarding a longer guarantee.
No qualitative, subjective criteria are mentioned in the text; all are automatically quantifiable.
On risks and special conditions, the notice and related documents specify that subcontracting is allowed but limited to 5% of the contract amount (“Subcontratación permitida, porcentaje 5%”).
The contract includes “consideraciones de tipo social” and “consideraciones de tipo medioambiental” as special conditions of execution, both “según cláusula 11 del Anexo I del PCAP”; the exact content (such as possible mandatory labour conditions or environmental obligations) is not reproduced here.
The tender is not subject to EU harmonised rules and is financed entirely by the Spanish defence budget (Section 14), with no EU co-financing.
The offer submission deadline is 10/11/2026 at 09:00, by electronic means only via PLACSP.
The excerpts do not mention, such as, specific penalties, performance guarantees, minimum tender validity period, deadline for asking questions, or mandatory site visits; these aspects, if any, must be taken from the PCAP and PPT, which are referenced but not included in the provided text.
As for contradictions or corrections between documents, the main apparent divergence concerns the end date of performance: the certificate of insufficiency of internal means states that the “plazo de final de entrega e instalación” is 1 December 2026, whereas the contract notice repeatedly states that the execution runs from contract formalisation until 10 December 2026 or until the budget is exhausted, whichever occurs first, referring to clause 7.1 of the PCAP.
In Spanish procurement practice, the PCAP and the formal contract conditions prevail over internal certificates; therefore, the legally binding timeframe is the one set in the PCAP (and reflected in the notice), while the 1 December date can be understood as an internal planning target consistent with completion before the funding deadline of 10 December.
All other core elements (object, value 59,990 EUR, procedure type, absence of solvency requirements, award criteria and 5% subcontracting limit) are consistent across the documents and not contradicted.
Only the contracting authority's tender documents are binding. As of: 27/10/2026
