The contract includes vehicle maintenance, training courses and obsolescence analysis. This agreement also contains technical assistance for vehicles deployed in area of operations.

The project was managed by Jefatura de Asuntos Económicos del Mando de Apoyo Logístico del Ejército (MALE), a division that received bids from various companies during the tender process, including the one mentioned above between COHEMO and another company. After considering the different options, “MALE” determined that this proposal was the one with the best conditions in terms of both quality and price. It was published later in the “Plataforma de Contratación del Estado”.

The contract budget is divided into three annual payments of 1.5 million euro each, corresponding to the period 2020-2022. The estimated value would rise to almost 7.5 million euro (taxes not included) when considering a possible three-year extension that would extend the contractual agreement until the end of 2025.

Both companies will supply the Spanish Army with spare parts for the Centauros in the same way as since 2019. For this contract, the budget is 3 million euro and extends until the end of 2021.
