Maintenance service for water dispensers at the Port Authority of Cartagena

Summary

The tender covers preventive and corrective maintenance of 16 water dispensers at the Cartagena Port Authority’s sites in the Cartagena and Escombreras port areas. The work includes scheduled inspections, cleaning and sanitisation, filter replacement and repairs. Preventive maintenance requires changing carbon filters every six months, cleaning the dispensers’ exteriors, steam sanitising the equipment, measuring water temperatures, checking the condition and parts, and marking the service date; sediment filters must be replaced annually. Repairs should generally be completed within 72 hours. For major faults requiring factory repair, the allowed period is up to 30 days, and a similar temporary dispenser must be installed while awaiting spare parts. All work must be recorded in the port’s maintenance management system. The contract runs for 12 months and may be extended three times for 12 months each. The bid ceiling is EUR 7,918.22 including VAT, or EUR 6,543.98 excluding VAT; the estimated total value is EUR 26,175.92. Several automatic award criteria will be used to identify the best quality-price offer. Staff changing filters and sanitising equipment must hold food-handler certificates. The contractor must provide the personnel, tools, vehicles and spare parts required and comply with the tender’s digitisation, BIM/GIS modelling and NFC labelling requirements.
