Mixed contract for the supply and maintenance of a shovel loader for the manure management plant in Cabrales

✓The place of performance is precisely indicated as the “Planta de gestión de estiércol de Cabrales, situada en El Monte s/n – Ortiguero (Cabrales), Asturias, ES120.” Delivery of the machine must be effected at that plant.

✓The maximum age of the machine is 9 years (counted from the date of publication of the contract notice); machines older than that will not be accepted.

✓Execution conditions include, such as, that electronic orders, electronic invoicing and electronic payments will not be used, and that special environmental considerations apply (see clause 25 PCAP).

✓The announcement is published with expediente 026_14 on 26‑10‑2026, and offers must be submitted electronically via PLACSP until 11/11/2026 at 00:00.

✓Opening of the single envelope/economic offer is scheduled for 11/11/2026 at 10:00 at SERPA’s offices in Gijón.

✓Concerning award criteria and weighting, the contract uses a single envelope with criteria evaluable by formulas.

✓The criteria are specified both in the notice and in Anexo II, such as: Offer price (criterion nº 1, “Oferta económica”) classified as “Precio,” with a weighting of 60 points; date of manufacture of the machine (criterion nº 2, “Fecha de fabricación de la maquinaria”), an “Otros” type criterion, with a weighting of 20 points, where younger machines (e.g. up to 1 year, 2 years, etc., up to a maximum of 9 years) score better; and speed of delivery (criterion nº 3, “Celeridad en la entrega de la máquina”) with a maximum of 20 points, based on the number of business hours from contract formalisation to machine availability at the service location.

✓The delivery-time scoring follows a scale, such as: within the first 24 business hours; 25–48 business hours; and 49–less than 72 business hours; with a maximum allowed delivery time of 72 business hours after the day following contract formalisation.

✓The adjudication will go to the bidder that “in its entirety” makes the best offer under these criteria, in accordance with the PCAP.

✓The validity period of the offer is 3 months.

✓No electronic auction (subasta electrónica) will be used.

✓In terms of risks and special conditions, the documents mention several contractual and procedural obligations.

✓There is an essential contractual obligation (art. 211.1.f LCSP) tied to the Anexo III “Compromiso de adscripción de medios,” requiring the awardee to maintain throughout the contract term the committed personal, material and organisational means, including a named responsible person and contact details to manage breakdowns, incidents, maintenance, or replacement of the machine.

✓Subcontracting is explicitly permitted.

❓Although detailed penalties or guarantees (such as specific liquidated damages or bond amounts) are not described in the extracted text, it is clear they would be governed by the PCAP and LCSP; moreover, environmental execution conditions are highlighted in clause 25 PCAP.

✓For foreign enterprises, a risk-related condition is the need to accept Spanish jurisdiction.

✓The tender is not subject to EU GPA rules and has no EU funding programme attached.

✓There is a deadline for filing procurement remedies: up to 27/11/2026 at 00:00 before the contracting authority itself; however, the extracted text does not mention a specific question/clarification deadline or mandatory site visit, suggesting standard LCSP rules apply unless the full PCAP states otherwise.

✓Minor differences appear, such as postal codes indicating SERPA offices in Oviedo (33205) versus Gijón (33203); the substantive contracting address for submissions and opening is Gijón, so that should be considered the operative place of receipt and opening.

❓In case of any conflict between the announcement, the platform summary and the PCAP/PPT, Spanish practice and LCSP dictate that the PCAP and technical specifications are the binding documents; bidders should therefore follow the PCAP clauses as the authoritative source.
