About this tender

Transports de Barcelona, SA (TMB) is procuring a framework agreement (Acord Marc) subject to harmonised EU regulation for retreading services for 4,800 tyres of size 275/70 R22.5 and other analogous tyre retreading services for its bus fleet. The contract is classified under CPV 50116500-6 (tyre repair services, including fitting and balancing), is delivered at ES511 (Barcelona), and is a services contract with unit pricing and no price revision planned. The framework agreement has a duration of 4 years, with no extensions foreseen. Modifications of up to 20% of the stated quantity are allowed where consumption increases due to unplanned interventions on the bus fleet or the incorporation of new vehicles into the TMB fleet. Variants are not admitted. No provisional, definitive or complementary guarantees are required. The agreement is a mix of call-off with and without a new competitive tender for subsequent contracts. The procedure is open and ordinary, using electronic submission through a digital envelope system with Sobre A (administrative documentation) opened after the submission deadline and Sobre 3 (automatic evaluation criteria) opened afterwards. Offers may be written in Catalan or Spanish. Contract execution conditions include maintaining the working and social conditions of workers under the applicable collective agreement for the full contract period, and compliance with EU and Spanish data protection law, which is classed as an essential contractual obligation under article 211(1)(f) of LCSP. The lot division was not adopted, with TMB justifying that the services form a single, closely interrelated technical and functional process.
