RTVE tender for KVM IP switches and installation services
The input text concerns a public procurement procedure in Spain launched by Radiotelevisión Española (RTVE) for IT-related supplies and installation services.
The perspective is clearly Spanish, referring to the Spanish public procurement framework (LCSP), the national e-procurement platforms and Spanish entities and locations (Madrid, Pozuelo de Alarcón).
The contract is not subject to EU harmonized regulation but is covered by the WTO Government Procurement Agreement (ACP).
As background, the tender is an “procedimiento abierto simplificado” (simplified open procedure) for a supplies contract (subtype: acquisition) with associated installation services.
The contracting authority is “Compras de la Corporación de Radio y Televisión Española S.A.” and the contract notice and tender documents are published on Spain’s “Plataforma de Contratación del Sector Público” and RTVE’s own tender site.
The estimated value of the contract is 40,950 EUR, with a tender budget (presupuesto base de licitación) of 49,549.5 EUR including taxes, and a performance period of 730 days.
Regarding the scope of the contract, the text specifies that the object is “Conmutadores KVM IP para redacción de operaciones y sistema de grabación de estudios”.
In particular, it covers the acquisition of two KVM-over-IP switches (one of 64 ports and one of 32 ports), the purchase of a local console for the new 32‑port KVM, and the reuse of the existing local console associated with the old 64‑port KVM.
Furthermore, it includes services such as installation, configuration and commissioning of the equipment.
The place of performance is RTVE’s premises at Avenida Radio Televisión 4, Pozuelo de Alarcón (Madrid, ES300), and the execution period is 730 days from contract start.
As to what bidders must submit and minimum qualification requirements, the text indicates that offers must be submitted electronically through external systems via the RTVE tender site and must include electronic catalogues (condiciones de licitación: “Las ofertas deben incluir catálogos electrónicos”).
For participation, there are solvency criteria: such as technical-professional solvency “Otros – Desarrollada en el punto 8) del PCG” (meaning detailed in section 8 of the specific administrative clauses), and economic-financial solvency requiring bidders to prove an annual turnover in the last three years higher than the budget base of the lot they bid for (“Cifra anual de negocio – Se deberá acreditar un volumen de negocio en los tres años precedentes superior al presupuesto base del lote al que se presenta”).
Show all 25 statements
Other details like references, insurance or certificates are likely in the PCG, but in this excerpt only these solvency requirements and the obligation to provide electronic catalogues are explicitly mentioned.
Concerning award criteria and weighting, the tender defines criteria evaluables mediante fórmulas (objective) and criteria evaluables mediante juicio de valor (subjective).
For example, objective technical criteria “criterio técnico objetivo con múltiples documentos: Otros” have a subtype criterion 12, and price has subtype criterion 74; subjective technical criteria “criterio técnico subjetivo con múltiples documentos: Otros” have subtype criterion 14. Each criterion mentions a minimum and maximum quantity (12, 74, 14 respectively), but in the text the ponderación (weighting) fields appear as 0, suggesting either an extraction issue or that weights are defined more precisely in the full pliego.
What is clear is that the economic envelope (“sobre oferta económica”) will be opened on 17/11/2026 at 09:00 as a public act, and the administrative/subjective-criteria envelope (“sobre administrativo y criterios sometidos a juicios de valor”) will be opened on 16/11/2026 at 09:00.
With regard to risks and special conditions, the text mentions a definitive performance guarantee of 5% of the contract amount (“Garantía Requerida Definitiva Porcentaje 5 %”).
It also notes that electronic ordering, invoicing and payment will be used (“Se utilizará pedido electrónico: Sí”, “Se aceptará factura electrónica: Sí”, “Se utilizará el pago electrónico: Sí”), which affects contract administration and cash flow risk.
The offer validity period is 6 months (“Plazo de Validez de la Oferta 6 Mes(es)”).
As for procedural risks, offers must be received by 13/11/2026 at 14:00, and the procedure will not be awarded via electronic auction (“Se adjudicará mediante subasta electrónica: No”).
Penalties, subcontracting rules, and any site visit obligations are not explicitly detailed in this extract and would be governed by the LCSP and the PCG referenced but not reproduced here; likewise, question deadlines are not stated in the quoted text.
On contradictions or corrections, the documentation excerpts from 01-placsp-3 and 02-placsp-6 are largely duplicative and consistent: they show identical object, value, place of performance, execution period, solvency criteria, guarantee percentage, and key dates (publication on 28‑10‑2026, offer deadline 13‑11‑2026, openings on 16‑11‑2026 and 17‑11‑2026).
There are minor textual differences (e.g.
“Anuncio de licitación” vs. “Documento de Pliegos”) that reflect different document types (notice vs. tender documents) rather than substantive contradictions.
Where there is any difference in detail between the brief notice and the more detailed pliegos, the applicable statement for bidders would be the one in the pliego de cláusulas administrativas and the pliego de prescripciones técnicas (referred to as PCG and technical specifications), in line with usual Spanish practice and the reference “Otros – Desarrollada en el punto 8) del PCG” for technical solvency.
Only the contracting authority's tender documents are binding. As of: 30/10/2026
