Fourniture ouverte de matériel de soutien pour la compagnie et les sections de reconnaissance de la Brigade des Marines "Troisième Marine"

Open simplified tender for defence supply to the Spanish Navy (Tercio de Armada)

✓The input text concerns a Spanish public procurement procedure under the Ministry of Defence (Armada Española), specifically an open simplified abbreviated tender for a supply contract for “material de apoyo” (support equipment) for reconnaissance units of the Marine Infantry Brigade “Tercio de Armada”.

✓All documents and references are clearly from Spain (Spanish legal framework, Spanish contracting authority in Cádiz/San Fernando, Spanish CPV and budget references), so the point of view is that of Spanish public procurement law (Ley 9/2017 de Contratos del Sector Público and Ley 24/2011).

✓Such as indicated in the “Memoria justificativa” and “Memoria justificativa de la necesidad”, the background is the operational need of the Brigada de Infantería de Marina – Tercio de Armada to maintain reconnaissance capabilities for national and international missions, including peacekeeping operations.

✓Because the normal internal supply chain cannot provide the required material in time and form, the Intendente de San Fernando initiates a specific supply contract, with an estimated value of 49,586.78 EUR (base without VAT) and a maximum budget of 60,000 EUR (including 21% VAT), under an “procedimiento abierto simplificado abreviado” as per article 159.6 LCSP.

✓Regarding what the bidder must submit and minimum qualification requirements, the tender is run as an “Sobre Único” (single envelope) procedure with electronic submission via PLACSP.

✓Such as stated in the tender details, the single envelope contains “Documentación administrativa y proposición económica”, i.e. the standard administrative documentation (including the usual declarations of not being subject to exclusion and of fulfilling general conditions, as per LCSP and PCAP) plus the economic offer (price).

✓For solvency, the tender explicitly relies on art. 159.6.b LCSP and states that no technical-professional solvency based on “trabajos realizados” and no economic-financial solvency based on “cifra anual de negocio” are required.

❓The text provided does not mention any specific requirements on turnover, references, professional liability insurance or particular certificates beyond what is generally implied by participation in Spanish public tenders (e.g. tax and social security compliance), which will be detailed in the PCAP (Pliego de Cláusulas Administrativas Particulares) referenced by number 148893137.PDF.

✓Concerning the scope of the contract (what, how much, where, when), the object is consistently described as “Suministro Abierto de material de apoyo para la compañía y secciones de reconocimiento de la Brigada de Infantería de Marina ‘Tercio de Armada’” and classified under CPV 38424000 – “Equipo de medida y de control”, indicating that the items are measurement and control equipment for reconnaissance activities.

✓The financial scope is fixed with a base tender budget of 49,586.78 EUR (without VAT) and a total maximum of 60,000 EUR (with 21% VAT).

✓Such as explained in the financial summary, the contract is fully charged to a specific defence budget application, with no options or prorogations (“Opciones: NO PROCEDE según cláusula 7.1 del Anexo I del PCAP”).

✓The place of performance is Cádiz (subentity ES612), concretely the “Almacén de Armamento y Material del Tercio de Armada” at Población Militar de San Carlos, Paseo Capitán Conforto s/n, 11100 San Fernando – Naval (Cádiz), or another location inside Tercio de Armada facilities designated by the contract manager.
