Provision of general services for the headquarters of MUTUAL MIDAT CYCLOPS

Public tender for general office services at MUTUAL MIDAT CYCLOPS (Barcelona)

✓The input text concerns a Spanish public‑sector procurement procedure launched by MUTUAL MIDAT CYCLOPS (MC MUTUAL), a mutual insurance entity collaborating with the Spanish Social Security system.

✓The tender is for “Prestación de servicios generales para las oficinas centrales de MUTUAL MIDAT CYCLOPS” and is processed through Spain’s Plataforma de Contratación del Sector Público.

✓The country explicitly mentioned is Spain, and the whole framework is based on Spanish public procurement law (Ley 9/2017 de Contratos del Sector Público), so the perspective is that of a Spanish contracting authority applying national and EU‑related procurement rules.

✓As background, the documents explain that MC MUTUAL, as a public‑sector body, may only contract services necessary to fulfil its institutional mission under the Social Security system.

❓The current general services contract (N202400667) expires on 31 January 2027 without further extension options, so a new contract must be procured.

✓The justification (Memoria justificativa) cites lack of internal human, organizational and technological resources to perform these office‑support tasks, which motivates externalization under the LCSP, using an open procedure (procedimiento abierto) for a contract not subject to EU harmonized regulation (no SARA), but covered by the WTO Agreement on Government Procurement (ACP).

✓Regarding what bidders must submit and minimum qualification requirements, the text refers to presentation of bids electronically via external systems, with the tender documentation consisting of Pliego de Prescripciones Técnicas and Pliego de Cláusulas Administrativas plus an economic memorandum.

✓Although the detailed forms are not reproduced, the contracting authority sets participation requirements: such as “Trabajos realizados” as a technical‑professional solvency criterion, meaning bidders must evidence relevant prior work; and “Cifra anual de negocio” as an economic‑financial solvency criterion, meaning a sufficient annual turnover.

✓For non‑harmonized contracts, technical solvency by prior works is not required for newly created companies.

✓The documents also stress general declarations on absence of conflicts of interest and compliance with prohibitions in Social Security legislation, but do not spell out insurance levels or concrete certificates in the excerpts provided.

✓On the scope of the contract (what, how much, where, when), the object is clearly defined: general office support services at MC MUTUAL’s central offices, including, such as: reprography (photocopying, scanning, printing, plastifying, binding), collection and destruction of confidential documents, management of an internal warehouse of corporate materials with stock control and distribution, and handling of postal mail, internal pouch (valija), and messenger services, as further detailed in the technical specifications.

✓The estimated value is 176,640 EUR, with a base tender budget of 106,867.20 EUR (88,320 EUR before tax).
