OC-CU-26002; 51.813/26 Anpassung von Rückhaltesystemen an Mittelstreifen-Übergängen auf der A-3 PP.KK. 181+426 bis 246+430. Provinz Cuenca. 33-CU-50075.

Regarding the scope of the contract, the object is “Adecuación de sistemas de contención en pasos de mediana en la A-3 PP.KK. 181+426 a 246+430. Provincia de Cuenca. 33-CU-50075.” In other words, the works comprise the adaptation of containment systems (such as median barriers and related safety elements) on the A-3 motorway between kilometre points 181+426 and 246+430 in the province of Cuenca, Spain. The contract is classified under CPV code 45233000 (construction, foundation and paving works for highways and roads). The estimated value is 401,148.21 EUR, with a tender base budget (presupuesto base de licitación) of 485,389.33 EUR including taxes, and 401,148.21 EUR excluding taxes. The place of performance is identified as sub-entity Cuenca (code ES423, Spain), and the execution period is 6 months. Deadlines are specified such as the offer submission deadline (30/11/2026 at 19:00), administrative opening (02/12/2026 at 10:00) and economic opening (16/12/2026 at 10:00), all carried out telematically at the Ministry of Transport in Madrid.

On award criteria and weighting, the tender uses criteria “evaluables mediante aplicación de fórmulas” in the economic envelope. The text lists two criteria: “Incremento de gastos de ensayos” (increase of testing expenses) as an “Otros” type criterion with quantities from 10 to 10, and “Precio” (price) as another criterion of type “Precio,” with quantities from 90 to 90. This strongly suggests weighting of 10 points for the testing-related criterion and 90 points for price, even though the field “Ponderación” appears as 0 in the excerpt (likely a formatting or export issue). The tender emphasizes that the award is primarily price-driven, with a small portion related to testing cost conditions. Offers must remain valid for 4 months (plazo de validez de la oferta 4 meses). There is no indication of qualitative, subjective criteria; everything is stated as automatically evaluable through formulas.

On risks and special conditions, the documents set several financial and contractual safeguards. Such as, a definitive guarantee of 5% of the contract amount and an additional complementary guarantee of 5% are required, meaning the contractor must provide significant security to the administration. There is a specified maximum amount for advertising costs (3,000 EUR). Subcontracting is expressly permitted. The tender states that there is no EU funding involved. For legal remedies, any appeals are to be lodged with the Tribunal Administrativo Central de Recursos Contractuales, under the rules of articles 44 and 50 of Law 9/2017. The offer validity period of 4 months is a critical risk for bidders, as prices must be held firm over that time. The excerpt does not explicitly mention penalties for delay, liquidated damages, or mandatory site visit requirements; those would be detailed in the Pliego de Cláusulas Administrativas and technical specifications, which are referenced but not fully quoted here.

As to contradictions or corrections, the text repeatedly references a “Nota aclaratoria PCAP obras clausula 23_vi.pdf,” which indicates there has been at least one formal clarification to clause 23 of the administrative specifications. However, the content of the clarification is not shown, so its specific effect cannot be determined from this excerpt. Within the repeated fields of the platform export (01-placsp-3.pdf and 02-placsp-6.pdf), the substantive data are consistent: same object, budget, execution period, classification requirements, deadlines and criteria. The apparent anomalies (such as award criteria “Ponderación: 0” while quantities suggest 10/90 weighting, or duplication of act types and addresses) seem to be artefacts of how the Plataforma de Contratación del Sector Público exports data into the text, rather than actual contradictory legal conditions. For any conflict between platform summary fields and the formal contractual terms, the applicable statement would typically be the one contained in the Pliego de Cláusulas Administrativas and its clarification note, which are explicitly listed as governing documents.
