Both announcements, signed respectively by the Intendant of Rota and the Procurement Board of the Ministry of Defense, are part of the ordinary procurement activity of the Armed Forces to ensure the operability of its facilities and the logistics of its units.

These two tenders, with a combined estimated value of more than 53.8 million euros, open the door to contracting companies specializing in both infrastructure security and maintenance, as well as the supply of lubricant and functional products. Electronic processing, through the Public Sector Procurement Platform, facilitates the participation of a greater number of operators, with a maximum of 15 in the framework agreement for lubricants.
