The Municipality of Spata–Artemida is seeking a contractor to carry out all repairs to its schools over the next three years. The tender relates to a framework agreement worth €1,300,000 plus VAT, i.e. €1,612,000 in total, and covers every nursery, primary, lower secondary and upper secondary school for which the Municipality is responsible for maintenance.
A summary of the tender notice was published on the council’s website on Tuesday 20 October. However, it is dated 30 July 2026, and the deadline for tenders was Friday 21 August at 14:00; the electronic opening of tenders was scheduled for Wednesday 26 August. The tender notice has been available on the ‘Diafania’ transparency portal since 30 July, and the press advertisements were paid for in September and October. However, anyone who only follows the council’s website will only see it now, when the tender is already at the evaluation stage.
What the contractor will do
According to the summary, the contractor will undertake ‘all types of building and electromechanical works’: repairs, restoration of wear and tear and faults, routine and emergency maintenance, damage caused by vandalism, internal refurbishments and work on the school grounds.
The framework agreement is signed with a single company and remains in force for 36 months from the date of signature. Each job will be awarded under a separate ‘implementation contract’, with its own deadline. The sole criterion is the lowest price. Bidders were required to have a track record of at least €62,000 in construction works and a similar amount in electromechanical works, and to submit a tender bond of €26,000. The project is funded from the municipality’s own resources. The Attica Development Agency, the development organisation for the municipalities of Attica (ESIDIS Ref. No. 221426), is managing the process in conjunction with the municipality.
Meanwhile, urgent contracts awarded by direct award
From the same tender, the Council selected a first lot, ‘Section A – urgent maintenance works on school buildings’, with a tender value of 60,000 euros plus VAT, and awarded it directly. Under Mayor’s Decision 626/2026, the contract was awarded to CTESIBIUS TECHNIKI EE, which had submitted a tender on 7 August, for €59,408.31 plus VAT, i.e. €73,666.30. The contract was signed on 3 September, the first progress payment was made on 21 September, and the deadline is 21 December 2026. On 12 October, the Mayor approved the first Revised Schedule of Works, for an amount equal to that of the contract (Decision 761/2026). The project is being supervised by an engineer from the Attica Development Agency.
The same company is also responsible for repairs to faults in the water supply network, as we reported on 6 October. A further €50,248.52 was paid for that contract on 20 October.
And the smaller ones: from 62 to 186 euros
What maintenance looks like in practice can be seen from the 15 small commitments posted on Diafania on Monday 19 October, totalling 2,013.20 euros from the budget line ‘other general school expenses’: repairs to aluminium structures at the 2nd and 6th Artemida Primary Schools, cleaning of gutters and drains at the 3rd Artemida Primary School, repairs to cupboards and the installation of noticeboards at the 3rd Spata Primary School, arts and crafts materials for the 8th Artemida Nursery School and the wreath for the 3rd Spata Primary School for 28 October. The window frames, furniture and equipment that arrived at the schools in October were recorded here.
What remains to be learnt
The decision regarding the contractor for the framework agreement – including the number of bids and the discount rate – has not yet been published on Diafania. This will reveal how much the three-year contract will ultimately cost and whether it will be awarded to the same company that is currently handling the emergency services. Information on the tender is available from the Municipality on 210 6634121 and the Attica Development Agency on 213 2007300.
