Grand Auch Cœur de Gascogne has opened a €12 million framework procurement for routine works on drinking-water, wastewater and stormwater networks. The notice classifies the contract as works and gives Auch as the area of performance. It describes the framework’s term as beginning on notification and running through 31 December 2027 initially, with three tacit annual renewals. If all renewals are exercised, the maximum term runs to 31 December 2030.
The published title identifies three service-network categories: potable water, wastewater and rainwater. The notice does not spell out pipe diameters, expected quantities, trench lengths, pump or valve work, treatment assets, network zones, or how call-offs will be distributed between the three systems. It therefore establishes a multi-year programme for ordinary network works rather than a single named plant or a defined one-off construction site. The procurement documents are needed to see the work schedule, unit-price structure and performance specifications.
The framework’s estimated value is €12 million. This is the published estimate for the procedure, not an award amount or a guarantee that the full value will be ordered. The contract duration is 48 months in the TED fields. The initial term and renewal structure make the eventual work horizon dependent on the buyer’s renewal decisions; the notice explains that a renewal is treated as accepted unless the authority makes a contrary written decision at least three months before the end of the framework’s current term. The holder cannot refuse renewal under the published condition.
For contractors, the scope combines water supply and two drainage network types under one procurement. That creates potential delivery interfaces across construction and maintenance operations, but the notice does not define whether work orders are split by network type, geography or technical discipline. It does not identify a winner or report active construction. The publication is an invitation for firms to compete for the framework.
The deadline is 2 December 2026 at noon, with a stated +01:00 offset. The buyer identifies the procedure as open. Bidders should confirm the exact framework call-off rules, whether work is awarded by fixed unit prices, and how future orders are issued in the full tender dossier. The public notice supplies the time horizon, broad network remit and estimated procedure value; details such as renewal quantities and planned locations are not stated in the summary reviewed for this report.
The framework starts at notification and is initially bounded by the end of 2027, rather than being described as a single four-year fixed execution package from the date of publication. Three annual renewals provide the route to the maximum 2030 end date. This distinction is important for interpreting the €12 million estimate: the notice gives the maximum procedure horizon but does not report orders already placed or annual expenditure.
