Navantia tender for the supply of panels and solenoid valves
The input text concerns a Spanish public procurement procedure launched by Navantia S.A., S.M.E. for the supply of “paneles y válvulas solenoide”.
It is clearly from the point of view of Spain: the contracting entity is a Spanish state-controlled public company, the procedure is published on the Spanish Plataforma de Contratación del Sector Público, references are made to Spanish legislation and electronic procurement tools (Ariba, FNMT-RCM time stamps), and the performance location is in Spain (Madrid, Ferrol).
No other countries appear except indirectly via the mention of “empresas extranjeras” being subject to Spanish law.
As background, the tender is an open procedure (“Procedimiento Abierto”) for supplies (“Suministros”, subtype “Adquisición”) with an estimated contract value of 27,500 EUR and a tender base budget of 33,275 EUR including taxes.
The CPV classification is 42130000 (taps, valves and similar apparatus), and the execution period foreseen is 3 months, with the note “Observaciones: más garantía”, meaning the contract also includes a warranty/guarantee period beyond execution.
The process is managed electronically through Navantia’s Ariba procurement platform, after the bidder requests participation via the public procurement platform link provided.
Regarding what the bidder must submit and minimum qualification requirements, the notice only states general participation conditions: bidders must have legal capacity (“Capacidad de obrar”), must not be prohibited from contracting (“No prohibición para contratar”), and must be compliant with social security and tax obligations.
Foreign companies must submit a declaration of submission to Spanish legislation (“declaración de sometimiento a la legislación española”).
Specific solvency requirements are not detailed in the text; instead, technical-professional solvency is “Otros – Según punto 13.3 del PCP” and economic-financial solvency is “Otros – Según punto 13.2 del PCP”, so the precise forms, references, turnover levels, insurance and certificates required are defined in the Pliego de Cláusulas Particulares/Administrativas (PCP) and must be downloaded (Pliego Prescripciones Técnicas, Pliego Cláusulas Administrativas, Desglose precios 5100077211.xlsx, Dosier.zip) from the Plataforma or via Ariba.
As to the scope of the contract (what, how much, where, when), the object is the “Suministro de paneles y válvulas solenoide”.
The place of execution is indicated as Subentidad Nacional Madrid, code ES300, with “Dirección Postal España”, while the purchasing/offer reception and internal opening act are located at “COMPRAS ASTILLEROS DE FERROL, Taxonera S/N, 15403 Ferrol, España” via the Ariba platform.
The execution period is 3 months, and the offer submission deadline is 09/11/2026 at 10:00, with internal opening of economic offers at 10:05 the same day.

On award criteria and weighting, the text indicates: “Criterios de Adjudicación – Criterios evaluables mediante aplicación de fórmulas – Según PPT y PCP: Otros – Subtipo Criterio: 100 – Ponderación: 0 – Cantidad Mínima: 100 – Cantidad Máxima [blank]”.
This means that the detailed award criteria (for example, such as price formula, delivery time, technical improvements, warranty conditions) are described in the Technical Specifications (PPT) and Administrative Clauses (PCP).
The summary shown is not self-explanatory and even includes an apparent inconsistency: a “Subtipo Criterio: 100” with “Ponderación: 0”, which suggests that the real weighting and formulas must be taken from the PPT/PCP, not from this generic extract.
Concerning risks and special conditions, the text explicitly mentions some execution and tender conditions: electronic order, electronic invoice and electronic payment will be used (“Se utilizará pedido electrónico / factura electrónica / pago electrónico”).
The offer validity period is 6 months (“Plazo de Validez de la Oferta 6 Mes(es)”).
There is a remark “Observaciones: más garantía”, implying a contractual warranty beyond the 3‑month execution period, but its length and conditions (such as penalties for delay or non‑compliance, performance guarantees, rules on subcontracting, and any obligations related to site visits or question deadlines) are not specified in the notice and must be consulted in the PCP, PPT and Dosier.zip via Ariba.
No public site visit or bidder conference is mentioned; the opening of offers is explicitly “ACTO INTERNO (NO PÚBLICO)”.
Question deadlines are not listed; instead, a contact email ([email protected]) is provided for “Proveedor de Información adicional”, so queries must be directed there within the periods allowed by Spanish procurement law and any specific rules in the PCP.
As to contradictions or corrections within the documents, the repeated excerpts from 01‑placsp‑4.pdf, 02‑placsp‑7.pdf and 03‑placsp‑10.pdf are substantially identical: same contract value, execution period, place of execution, participation requirements, electronic processes, deadlines, and references to PPT/PCP.
The only noticeable difference is between the “Anuncio previo” (prior information notice) and the “Anuncio de licitación” (actual call for tenders), which is standard rather than contradictory, and the odd summary of award criteria (“Subtipo Criterio: 100, Ponderación: 0”), which clearly cannot be interpreted without the PPT/PCP.
Only the contracting authority's tender documents are binding. As of: 28/10/2026
