Where tenders are published in Spain
The central platform is the Plataforma de Contratación del Sector Público (PLACSP), which the autonomous communities are connected to as well. Procedures above the EU thresholds are published in the EU Official Journal - the route that feeds the Spanish notices in our index.
Thresholds and legal framework
Ley 9/2017 on public sector contracts applies. It distinguishes between minor contracts with a simplified procedure, the simplified open procedure, and the procedures that must be advertised EU-wide above the thresholds.

How public tendering works in Spain
Public contracts in Spain are advertised, awarded and challenged under fixed rules, and which rules apply depends on the contract value. Above the published thresholds a fully advertised, formal procedure is mandatory; below them lighter national procedures apply up to fixed value limits. Notices run through Plataforma de Contratación del Sector Público and the regional portals - Polytender reads them all.
Procedures above the thresholds
- Procedimiento abierto
- Advertised publicly, and every interested company may submit a bid straight away. The widest competition and the standard route.
- Procedimiento restringido
- Advertised publicly, but in two stages: first a request to participate, then only the shortlisted companies are invited to bid.
- Licitación con negociación
- Two stages as well, but the buyer may negotiate the submitted bids with the shortlisted companies before awarding.
- Diálogo competitivo
- For complex contracts: the buyer discusses possible solutions with the shortlisted companies and only then asks for final bids.
- Asociación para la innovación
- For something the market does not offer yet - the development and the subsequent purchase are awarded in one single procedure.
Procedures below the thresholds
- Procedimiento abierto simplificado
- The below-threshold counterpart of the open procedure: publicly advertised, open to every company.
- Contrato menor
- Small contracts up to a fixed value limit can be awarded directly to one company, without a competition.
From notice to award in Spain
01
Find the notice
Contracting authorities have to advertise. Above the thresholds the notice is public by law; below them it appears on Plataforma de Contratación del Sector Público or a regional portal. Polytender reads those portals daily, so one search covers all of them.
02
Read the tender documents
The documents define the scope, the award criteria and the two dates that matter: the deadline for questions, which is usually well before the deadline for bids.
03
Prove your suitability
Buyers check economic standing, technical capability and the absence of exclusion grounds - normally through a self-declaration first, with the certificates requested only from the winner.
04
Submit the bid
Bids go in electronically through the platform, complete and on time. A bid that arrives after the deadline is excluded, however good it is.
05
Award and review
The contract goes to the most economically advantageous tender, which is not automatically the cheapest. Unsuccessful bidders are told before the contract is signed and can have the decision reviewed under Ley 9/2017 de Contratos del Sector Público.
