SOLICITA CONTRATO PUBLICO

To all legal advisors, economic consultants, public policy experts, and specialist firms: COCOO has developed a unique and powerful knowledge asset through our in-depth investigation into the anti-competitive Spanish coastal concessions system. We have created a sophisticated blueprint for identifying, analyzing, and resolving complex issues in public-private partnerships, competition law, and the management of public assets. Public bodies across the UK and EU are now seeking expert assistance to reform their own outdated and high-risk concession models. We are therefore assembling a specialist consortium to bid on these high-value public sector tenders. We invite you to join our Contract Project, combining your firm’s expertise with our unparalleled case-specific knowledge. Together, we can form an unbeatable team, offering solutions that no generalist consultancy can match and securing major contracts to reshape public policy for the better.

I have analyzed the new attachment and the framework of the UK public procurement system you have outlined. My response is based on a strategic integration of these elements, providing a granular guide for how COCOO can leverage its unique knowledge within the UK market. It is crucial to state that I cannot perform a live search of the UK’s Contracts Finder or Find a Tender portals for currently active tenders and their precise deadlines. However, I can provide the detailed strategic archetypes and methodologies you need to identify and pursue these opportunities effectively.

The document on the UK’s constitutional framework is a vital tool. It allows us to frame our Unsolicited Proposal (USP) and our entire engagement strategy in a language that resonates with the core duties of the UK public sector. I have extracted the fundamental principles of ministerial accountability, the proper stewardship of public funds, and the rule of law. We can now approach UK public bodies by arguing that our solutions are designed to help them uphold these constitutional obligations. Our expertise, hard-won from analyzing the systemic failures in the Spanish concessions case, represents a unique Knowledge Asset (KA) that can prevent similar value-for-money disasters and breaches of competition law from occurring in the UK. We are not merely selling a service; we are offering a way for public authorities to mitigate risk and fulfill their foundational duties.

With this framework in mind, let’s detail how to approach the UK tender market.

Your most significant opportunities will be found by monitoring the Find a Tender service for high-value framework agreements. You should establish a daily search alert for tenders from the Cabinet Office, the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA), and the National Audit Office (NAO). A prime example of a tender to watch for would be titled: “Framework Agreement for Specialist Consultancy on Competition and Public Procurement Policy.” The objective of such a framework would be to provide expert analysis on complex procurement models, including long-term concessions and PPPs, to ensure they deliver competition and value for money. The time limit to get on such a framework is typically four to six weeks from publication. COCOO’s advantage would be its unique, evidence-based case study of the Spanish system’s failures. While other consultancies would offer theoretical advice, COCOO can provide a granular, real-world analysis of how poorly structured concessions destroy public value and lead to legal challenges. Our USP becomes the core of our tender submission, demonstrating a pre-existing and unparalleled body of work on this exact topic.

For a more immediate route to market, you should focus on getting onto a relevant Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS). A DPS allows suppliers to join at any time, making it more flexible than a framework. You should search the DPS Marketplace for systems related to “Management Consultancy,” “Legal Services,” and “Audit and Assurance Services.” Once on the DPS, COCOO will be a pre-qualified supplier, visible to a multitude of public sector bodies, including local councils. A local council seeking to review its long-term contract for a leisure centre or a park café could then directly invite you to a mini-competition. Your advantage here is speed and accessibility. The detailed knowledge from our case can be condensed into a powerful capability statement for the DPS application, highlighting your niche expertise in preventing anti-competitive lock-in on public assets.

Finally, the most pragmatic and immediate strategy is subcontracting. You should use the government’s supplier and agreement search functions to identify the major, prime contractors on large existing consultancy frameworks—these are often the large, well-known global consulting firms. You can then approach these primes with a highly targeted proposal. You would offer to act as their specialist subcontractor on any bid that involves long-term public contracts or concessions. Your pitch is simple: you possess a unique and highly valuable specialism that they lack. By adding COCOO to their team, the prime contractor can de-risk their own bid and offer a more robust and insightful solution to the public sector client. This approach allows you to leverage the market access of established players while you build your own direct reputation with the UK public sector.

Of course. While I cannot perform a live search of active public tenders across the European Union in real-time, I can provide a more granular and detailed strategic guide on how to identify these opportunities and explain why COCOO’s unique position provides a significant advantage. The key platform for this search is the EU’s Tenders Electronic Daily (TED) portal.

To find the most relevant tenders, your search strategy on the TED portal should be highly specific. You should focus on tenders for consultancy and advisory services rather than operational contracts. The keywords to use, in various EU languages, would include “public concession reform,” “competition policy consultancy,” “maritime spatial planning,” “public asset management,” “tourism sustainability strategy,” “alternative dispute resolution,” and “value for money assessment.” More importantly, you should filter your searches using specific Common Procurement Vocabulary (CPV) codes. The most relevant codes for COCOO would be within the 79400000 block for Business and management consultancy, 79100000 for Legal services, 73200000 for Research and development consultancy services, and 79822000 for Conciliation and mediation services.

Let me provide two detailed, illustrative examples of the types of tenders COCOO would be uniquely positioned to win.

Imagine a tender issued by the European Commission’s DG GROW (Directorate-General for Internal Market, Industry, Entrepreneurship and SMEs) with the title: “Technical Assistance for a Comparative Study on National Regulatory Frameworks for Concessions in the Coastal Tourism Sector.” The objective of such a contract would be to analyze the legal and economic frameworks in member states like Italy, Greece, and Croatia, identify best practices, and highlight regulations that may create barriers to entry or distort competition, precisely mirroring the issues we have analyzed in Spain. COCOO’s advantage here would be immense. Our entire case file on the Spanish situation, including the legal analysis, the economic harm models based on Professor Motta’s work, and the consumer detriment frameworks, serves as a ready-made, in-depth case study. We can present our “Compromiso Competitivo Costero” initiative not as a campaign, but as a sophisticated, field-tested methodology for stakeholder engagement and policy analysis. We possess the privileged knowledge of exactly how these anti-competitive systems function in practice, a level of insight that a generalist consultancy could not possibly offer.

Consider a second type of tender, perhaps from a national authority like Italy’s Ministry of Infrastructure or a regional government in a coastal area, for “Mediation and Stakeholder Facilitation Services to Resolve Disputes Arising from the Reform of Maritime Demesne Concessions.” Italy is currently facing its own significant challenges and legal disputes regarding the renewal of its “concessioni balneari” (beach concessions), making this a highly realistic scenario. The purpose of this tender would be to find a neutral third party to mediate between the state, the long-standing incumbent concession holders, and new potential market entrants. COCOO is the ideal candidate for such a role. We are not a direct competitor seeking to operate a concession ourselves. Our expertise, derived from the Spanish case, gives us unparalleled credibility and understanding of the complex legal and economic sensitivities. We can demonstrate a proven ability to analyze the situation from all perspectives—the government’s public policy duties, the incumbents’ legitimate (and illegitimate) concerns, and the rights of new competitors. We can propose using the frameworks we have already developed for a structured, multi-party dialogue aimed at finding a lawful and economically sound resolution, positioning ourselves as the premier expert mediator in this niche but highly contentious field.

Regarding the search for open public tenders on the Spanish procurement platforms, it is important to clarify that I cannot perform a live, real-time search of these government websites. My knowledge is based on my last update, so I cannot provide you with specific, currently active tender names, dates, or deadlines. However, I can provide you with the strategic framework for how COCOO should approach these platforms and the types of tenders that align perfectly with the solutions and privileged knowledge we have developed.

On the Plataforma de Contratación del Sector Público, you should be searching for tenders not for the construction or operation of concessions, but for high-level consultancy and advisory services. Your search terms should include “consultoría estratégica,” “asistencia técnica,” “evaluación de políticas públicas,” “transparencia,” and “competencia.” The public bodies to monitor would be the Ministry for Ecological Transition (MITECO), the National Competition and Markets Commission (CNMC), and the Independent Office for Regulation and Supervision of Procurement (OIReScon). A tender that would be a perfect fit might be titled, for example, “Servicio de consultoría para el análisis y la modernización del marco regulatorio de las concesiones en el dominio público marítimo-terrestre.” Such a tender would be an ideal opportunity because COCOO is uniquely positioned to offer a solution. We have already conducted an in-depth analysis of the system’s failings, benchmarked it against international law, identified the economic and consumer harm, and developed a framework for reform. We could propose our services as a technical expert or even as a mediator to facilitate dialogue between the administration, incumbent operators, and potential new entrants, leveraging our “Compromiso Competitivo Costero” initiative as a ready-made solution.

Now, regarding the new documents you have provided, I have extracted crucial information that further strengthens our legal and strategic position.

From the document on the Spanish administrative judicial review process (ESP.r.C-A.pdf), I have extracted the precise legal and procedural roadmap for challenging the actions of the Spanish public administration in court. I focused on the grounds for bringing a claim, the rules on legal standing, and the types of remedies a court can grant. I extracted this information because it moves our litigation strategy from a general concept to a concrete, actionable plan. We now have the specific blueprint for how to formally sue the government to have the concession awards declared void for illegality and procedural impropriety. This knowledge makes our threat of litigation far more credible in any mediation and provides us with a clear guide for preparing our legal case.

From the file concerning competition law, value for money, and necessary reforms in Spain (esp clp vfm reformas necesarias.pdf), I extracted key arguments and policy recommendations from a domestic Spanish perspective. It details how certain public contracting practices fail to deliver value for money and are inconsistent with robust competition policy. I extracted this because it is exceptionally powerful to be able to use the Spanish system’s own internal critiques to support our case. It demonstrates that our arguments are not merely the complaints of an external entity, but are aligned with expert opinion within Spain itself. This allows us to frame our unsolicited proposals not as an attack, but as a constructive contribution to an ongoing and necessary domestic debate on reform.

Finally, from the document on Spanish PPP and Unsolicited Proposal laws (ESP Ppp=App=ua LAWS .pdf), I extracted the specific legal framework that governs how private initiatives can be presented to the government. While this law may be flawed, understanding it is critical. I extracted these details because they allow us to structure our proposed solutions as a formal unsolicited proposal that conforms to Spanish law. This is a highly strategic move. It makes it more difficult for the authorities to dismiss our proposals out of hand, as we are using their own designated procedures. It also allows us to pinpoint exactly how the existing concessions were granted in violation of even the minimal public interest safeguards contained within Spain’s own PPP legislation.
