Project anatomy

Contract scope and delivery roles

Client / authority
Region Hauts-de-France, owner and manager of the Boulogne-sur-Mer-Calais port sites
Delivery parties
SODRANORD - named winner and contractor under contract 202613951, Dredger owner, hydrographic surveyor, sediment laboratory, transport or disposal providers and subcontractors - not identified in the cited award notice
Contract route
Open works procedure 2025-0243 under CPV 45252124. The one-participant framework is executed without reopening competition through purchase orders and unit prices. BOAMP links tender 25-116739 to award result 26-35587; TED publishes the corresponding result as 240751-2026.
Execution window
The tender planned a 6 March 2026 start, an initial 24-month term and one possible renewal. Contract conclusion on 24 February 2026 confirms award-stage formation, but execution begins from contract notification and depends on later purchase orders. No cited source confirms the notification date, first campaign or four-year renewal exercise.
Works package
Maintenance dredging and pumping works across the navigable areas of Boulogne-sur-Mer and Calais. The procurement record establishes the dual-port geography and purchase-order mechanism but does not disclose a guaranteed volume, campaign split, target depths, sediment classification, placement route or minimum spend.
Marine interfaces
The two ports support ferry, fishing, commercial and service traffic, so each campaign must coordinate access windows, navigation notices, production zones and survey control. Region reporting for 2025 describes two campaigns using a trailing suction hopper dredger, with bathymetry, sediment analysis, quantity estimation and hydrographic follow-up as separate controls; those prior-year methods and outputs do not prove the 2026 execution plan.
Commercial evidence boundary
The award notice states a maximum of EUR 11.5 million for each two-year period and EUR 23 million across the possible four-year term. Those are framework ceilings, not an awarded lump sum, forecast revenue or final account. Actual exposure depends on issued purchase orders, measured quantities, unit rates, indexation, variations and renewal.
