Port Maintenance Procurement

Dunkirk maintenance frameworks: separate ceilings and revised bid dates

Dunkerque-Port; whole-port operating context, not a map of either framework's included assets

Dunkirk's two maintenance frameworks have passed their published submission dates. Cathodic-protection consultation 26ANI002 specified 4 September 2026, a six-year term and EUR 1.5 million to EUR 5.0 million excluding-VAT limits. Mechanical consultation 26EOO003 moved from 14 to 28 September under correction 26-85236; its eight-year non-renewable term has no minimum and a EUR 3.2 million excluding-VAT ceiling. The latest buyer-profile results remain unverified.

A September correction changed the mechanical procurement calendar

BOAMP correction 26-85236, published 2 September, moves mechanical applications and offers to 28 September without specifying a time or zone. The original cathodic notice gives 4 September at 12:00 without a zone. The complete BOAMP buyer search from 1 August through 15 October returned 15 notices and no later linked result for either procedure. Both buyer profiles failed to load on 15 October; platform-only changes, results and controlled documents remain unverified. EUR 8.2 million is the arithmetic sum of two separate ceilings, not an owner-published programme value. The port-context page and image retain their original role.

Long-duration positions still depend on award and call-off evidence

The underwater framework is a specialist corrosion-control chain spanning structure condition, diving access, cathodic design, anodes or electrical components, installation and potential testing. The mechanical framework covers preventive work on port structures and installations, with the asset schedule reserved to the controlled documents. Each scope requires its own qualification, award and work-order evidence.

Evidence conclusion

Awards and call-offs establish the delivery chain

Each framework has its own award, notification and call-off ledger. EUR 5.0 million and EUR 3.2 million are the respective ceilings; the EUR 1.5 million minimum applies only to cathodic protection. The next decision-grade evidence is the named holder and controlled scope, followed by structure or asset-level work orders, downstream firms, installed quantities, tests, acceptance and cumulative commitments. Asset lists, workload, annual spend, mobilisation and contractor relationships depend on those records.

Outstanding evidence

  • Latest buyer-profile results after 4 September and revised 28 September dates
  • Tender amendments, controlled documents and lot clarification
  • Framework awardees and contract-notification dates
  • First named submerged structure and mechanical asset work orders
  • Cathodic design basis, anode or impressed-current supply and testing
  • Mechanical asset register, preventive schedule, spares and outage rules
  • Named diving, marine-plant, fabrication, controls and inspection lower tiers
  • Cumulative commitments, accepted outputs and remaining ceilings
