About this tender

The Gobierno Vasco (Dirección de Servicios, Industria, Transición Energética y Sostenibilidad) is procuring the review and evaluation of environmental risk analyses (ARA, análisis de riesgos ambientales) submitted by operators in the Basque Autonomous Community (CAPV). The analyses are used to set the mandatory financial guarantee arising from Ley 26/2007, de 23 de octubre, de Responsabilidad Medioambiental. The contract is classified as a service under CPV 90714200-7 (environmental audit services for companies). The scope includes a detailed review of each ARA, its evaluation and qualification, and a proposal for a requerimiento de subsanación (request for correction). It also covers a visit to the installations under review, review of operators' responses to requirements, and support to the administration. Support is priced by the hour for a specialist technician. The contract is divided into two lots, each covering the same type of ARA review and each with an estimated value of EUR 19,473.14 excluding VAT. Work is delivered across Araba/Álava, Bizkaia and Gipuzkoa (NUTS ES211, ES212, ES213). The initial term is 24 months, with one optional extension of 12 months. Pricing is by unit price. Variants and options are not accepted.
