ADIF Alta Velocidad supply contract for protection renewal in electrical sub‑stations
The input text consists of several extracts from the Spanish public procurement platform concerning a contract promoted by ADIF Alta Velocidad (Spain).
It reflects the Spanish legal and administrative framework for public procurement, referencing EU rules applicable to special sectors (water, energy, transport, postal services).
The point of view is clearly Spanish, with references to Spanish authorities (ADIF AV, Ministerio de Hacienda, TACRC) and performance in Spain.
As background, the documents describe an open procedure (“Procedimiento Abierto”) for a mixed supply contract (“Contrato de suministro”, “Contrato Mixto”) subject to regulation under Directive 2014/25/EU.
The contracting authority is ADIF Alta Velocidad – Presidencia, based in Madrid, and the tender is published on the Plataforma de Contratación del Sector Público and in the Official Journal of the EU (DOUE).
The estimated value of the contract is 614,730.73 EUR, with a base budget of 743,824.18 EUR (including taxes), and the execution period is 12 months.
Regarding what the bidder must submit and minimum qualification requirements, the text repeatedly refers to “Criterio de Solvencia Técnica‑Profesional: Otros – Según lo indicado en el Pliego de condiciones particulares” and “Criterio de Solvencia Económica‑Financiera: Otros – Según lo indicado en el Pliego de condiciones particulares”.
This means the concrete forms, references, turnover, insurance levels and certificates are defined in the specific tender documents (Pliego de Prescripciones Técnicas and Pliego de Cláusulas Administrativas), not in the excerpt provided.
However, the participation requirements include numerous mandatory exclusion grounds such as, for example, corruption, fraud, money laundering or terrorism financing, insolvency, bankruptcy or analogous situations, agreements to distort competition, unpaid taxes or social security contributions, serious professional misconduct, breaches of labour, social or environmental legislation, child labour or human trafficking, being under a liquidator, suspended commercial activities, sanctions for early termination or damages in previous contracts, and conflict of interest or participation in the preparation of this procedure.
In terms of the scope of the contract—what, how much, where and when—the object is consistently described as “Contrato de suministro para la renovación de las protecciones en las subestaciones de Almudevar y la Gornal (ADIF_AV) y sus enlaces con las subestaciones de Gurrea y Castellet (REE)”.
Thus, the contract covers supply (and likely associated services) to renew protection systems in two ADIF AV substations (Almudevar and La Gornal) and their links with two REE substations (Gurrea and Castellet).
The CPV code is 31700000 (electronic, electromechanical and electrical material), and the place of execution is Spain (Código de Subentidad Territorial ES, Dirección Postal: España).
Show all 26 statements
The execution period is explicitly 12 months, with no options or extensions (“Número máximo de prórrogas: 0”).
Quantities and technical detail are again in the Pliego de Prescripciones Técnicas, not in this summary.
Concerning award criteria and weighting, the documents state that the “Condiciones de adjudicación” rely on “Criterios evaluables mediante aplicación de fórmulas” and specify a single criterion: “Precio: Subtipo Criterio: 100 Ponderación”.
This means the award decision is made exclusively on price, with a weighting of 100%, and no qualitative or technical scoring criteria are indicated in the excerpt.
The offer validity period is set at 2 months (“Plazo de Validez de la Oferta: 2 Mes(es)”), and there is no electronic auction (“Se adjudicará mediante subasta electrónica: No”).
On risks and special conditions, the documents include several contractual execution clauses of a social and regulatory nature.
As such, they stipulate that electronic ordering, electronic invoices and electronic payments will be used (“Se utilizará pedido electrónico: Sí”, “Se aceptará factura electrónica: Sí”, “Se utilizará el pago electrónico: Sí”), and payment terms are 30 days from invoice (“Pagos a 30 días F. Factura”).
Special execution conditions include, for example, eliminating inequalities between men and women, social considerations, promoting employment of people with particular insertion difficulties in the labour market, and subjecting the contractor to data protection regulations.
Penalties, guarantees, subcontracting rules or question deadlines and any site visit requirements are not detailed in these extracts; they are likely covered in the Pliegos.
The procedure foresees electronic submission of bids via “https://elicitadores.adif.es”, with a deadline for offer reception “Hasta el 14/12/2026 a las 11:00”, and public openings of the technical envelope on 16/12/2026 at 10:00 and of the economic envelope on 13/01/2027 at 10:00 in Madrid.
As to contradictions or corrections within the documents, the content presented is largely duplicated between the announcement of tender (“Anuncio de licitación”, published at 10:03 on 29‑10‑2026) and the document of Pliegos (published at 13:52 on 29‑10‑2026).
The substantive information on scope, value, execution period, award criteria (price 100%), exclusion grounds, and special conditions is consistent and repeated; no conflicting statements are visible in these excerpts.
The only differences are formal (for example, timestamps and IDs associated with time‑stamping of the publications).
Therefore, from the text provided, the statements that apply are the common ones: open procedure, supply contract for protection renewal at the specified substations in Spain, 12‑month execution, price‑only award criterion (100%), extensive exclusion grounds, electronic bid submission by 14/12/2026, and 2‑month offer validity, with further technical and solvency details to be found in the referenced Pliegos.
Only the contracting authority's tender documents are binding. As of: 31/10/2026

Tactics
When this buyer has awarded in this sector, usually about 3 bids came in. A normal field for this market. (Based on 7 completed awards — not a statement about this procedure.)
This procedure allows 46 days between publication and deadline — typical in this country is 26 (median of 7,730 procedures). Much more generous than usual — time for a thorough bid rather than a quick one.
The deadline falls on a Monday — your last full working day is the Friday before. Have evidence and guarantees together by Thursday.
Foreign bidders
In Spain · Electrical machinery, 78 contracts went to foreign companies over the last 3 years (of 11,640 recorded awards) — mostly from Italy, Germany, Finland.
