Guardamar retenders five electric vehicles for €223,027
The four-year contract will provide vehicles for five municipal services and includes maintenance, insurance and a replacement vehicle for certain breakdowns.
Guardamar Town Council has launched a second tender for the hire of five electric vehicles for various municipal services. The contract notice, published on 28 October on the Public Sector Procurement Platform, sets a budget of €223,027.20, including VAT, and a deadline for bids of 23:59 on 12 November 2026.
The contract, which is being run under an open procedure, covers three vans for Public Works, the Environment and Sport, and two cars for the Technical Office and Social Services. The pre-tax amount is €184,320. The lease will run for 48 months and does not give the Town Council the option to buy the vehicles at the end of the contract.
The successful companies will have to deliver the vehicles within a maximum of 90 days of the contract being signed. The tender documents allow bidders to offer a shorter delivery period. They also include vehicle maintenance and insurance. If a breakdown or service leaves a vehicle out of action for more than 48 hours, the company must provide a replacement.
The contract estimates annual mileage of 15,000 kilometres per vehicle. The price will account for up to 70 points in the award criteria; the remaining 30 will be allocated to additional services, a shorter delivery period and the cost of mileage above the expected usage. The tender documents also require the company to manage the lithium-ion batteries when they are no longer usable or have suffered irreversible degradation.
This is the Town Council’s second attempt to procure the five vehicles. The previous tender, published in August, had a budget of €165,992.64 including VAT and attracted no bids. The new tender increases that amount by €57,034.56, based on a comparison of the figures in the two procedures.
The planned replacement covers five municipal departments and is arranged as a four-year lease, with services linked to the use of the vehicles. Interested companies can submit bids by the deadline set out in the contract notice. The Town Council will then assess the proposals and award the contract before signing it and starting the delivery period.
