Métropole Toulon Provence Méditerranée awarded the relaunched Port de l'Ayguade du Levant Ro-Ro quay contract to Océlian and TP Spada for EUR 2,104,311.99. The signed package covers an appontement, a mooring dolphin and its gangway so maritime shuttles can unload rolling freight at the island's only civil port. A first EUR 1.403 million procedure ended without a winner before the EUR 2.121 million relaunch. The award does not establish how work is divided between the two companies or whether field mobilisation, completion or acceptance has occurred.

Project anatomy

Contract scope and delivery roles

Client / authority
Métropole Toulon Provence Méditerranée, direct manager of Port de l'Ayguade du Levant
Delivery parties
Océlian - co-awardee under contract 98RL25; internal workshare not published, TP Spada - co-awardee under contract 98RL25; internal workshare not published, Design, marine plant, piling, concrete, metalwork, diving, survey and environmental-control suppliers - not named in the cited award records
Contract route
The buyer first advertised procedure 24TRAV27 with a EUR 1.403 million estimate and 6 March 2025 deadline. Its result notice published no winner or concluded contract. The buyer then launched open procedure 25TRAV10 as a relaunch after declaration without further action, with a EUR 2.121 million estimate and 30 June 2025 deadline. Contract 98RL25 was concluded on 20 August 2025 with Océlian and TP Spada at EUR 2,104,311.99.
Execution window
The award fixes the contract date but the cited official records do not establish a notice to proceed, current construction programme, physical start, completion or acceptance. The nine-month September 2022 to May 2023 programme in the 2021 environmental dossier is a superseded planning baseline for a wider scheme and is not the delivery window for 98RL25.
Works package
Contract 98RL25 covers construction of an appontement, a mooring dolphin and its access gangway for maritime shuttles handling rolling freight. The environmental concept describes a 30 metre Ro-Ro pontoon, a dolphin roughly 10 metres beyond it, a 115 square metre apron extension and foundation alternatives shaped by shallow rock and Posidonia habitat. Those dimensions and methods are design context until a current contract drawing or as-built record confirms them.
Marine interfaces
The live interface joins island passenger and freight continuity, a constrained rock shoreline, shuttle berthing, a dolphin and gangway, marine lifting, possible diving, limited harbour access and protected Posidonia habitat. The older dossier also described mainland-to-island material logistics through Port Pothuau, turbidity curtains and controlled anchoring, but the signed Ro-Ro package does not attribute those methods.
Commercial evidence boundary
The EUR 2,104,311.99 result is a signed Ro-Ro berth contract, not the cost of the complete Ayguade port-safety programme. The increase from the first EUR 1.403 million consultation estimate to the EUR 2.121 million relaunch estimate should not be labelled a variation because the first procurement produced no contract. The award names two legal winners but publishes no consortium lead, work split, subcontractors, quantities, payment status or final account.

The relaunched contract was concluded

Contract 98RL25 fixed Océlian and TP Spada as co-awardees at EUR 2,104,311.99 without establishing physical mobilisation or workshare.

Source

The buyer relaunched the Ro-Ro package

25TRAV10 retained the appontement, dolphin and gangway scope at a EUR 2.121 million estimate after the first procedure ended without an award.

Source

The first procedure closed without a winner

The result for 24TRAV27 recorded no winner or concluded contract, so its EUR 1.403 million estimate remains a procurement baseline rather than committed value.
