The published 4 September 2026 submission date for Dunkirk's cathodic-protection framework has passed. Consultation 26ANI002 covers underwater replacement across port structures over a six-year term, with a EUR 1.5 million excluding-VAT minimum and EUR 5.0 million ceiling. The latest buyer-profile result, holder and first call-off remain unverified.

The commercial envelope is public before the asset schedule

BOAMP notice 26-77562 and its official structured record give 4 September at 12:00 without a stated time zone; the dataset's UTC label is not used to infer local submission time. The complete 15-notice BOAMP buyer search from 1 August through 15 October contained no later linked notice for 26ANI002. The buyer profile failed to load on 15 October, leaving platform-only changes, the result and controlled technical documents unverified. The original notice provides the 72-month term, single-provider basis and EUR 1.5 million to EUR 5.0 million excluding-VAT limits.

The first call-off will identify the structure and specialist scope

Cathodic-protection replacement depends on the corrosion baseline, affected steel area, selected anode or impressed-current system, access and isolation method, coating interface, electrical continuity, potential testing, design life and acceptance criteria. BOAMP notice 26-77562 publishes none of those structure-level details, so it does not identify a diving spread, material supplier or installed quantity.

Evidence conclusion

Call-offs define the structure-level work

The next procurement evidence is the buyer's latest result and contract-notification date. Each subsequent call-off needs its own structure, value, condition evidence, protection system, design and material parties, dive spread, installed quantities, electrical tests and owner acceptance. The EUR 5.0 million ceiling is an aggregate maximum; the number of structures and ordered workload depend on the call-offs.

Outstanding evidence

  • Latest buyer-profile status after the published 4 September submission date
  • Framework holder and contract-notification date
  • Lot structure and first named port structure
  • Corrosion survey, steel area and existing protection baseline
  • Sacrificial-anode or impressed-current design responsibility
  • Named diving, anode, electrical-testing and marine-plant parties
  • Installed quantities, potential measurements and continuity tests
  • Structure acceptance and cumulative call-off commitments
