About this tender

The Commune de Moissac (Tarn-et-Garonne, 82200) is procuring a multidisciplinary architectural and engineering design team (mission de maîtrise d'oeuvre) to design and oversee the works converting school playgrounds into "cours Oasis". These are de-sealed, vegetated and cooled spaces intended to improve users' thermal comfort, support biodiversity, manage rainwater at source, and allow multiple uses. The commune frames the project as part of its climate change adaptation policy. The tender is an open adapted procedure (procédure adaptée ouverte) for a framework agreement (accord-cadre) with a duration of 36 months, renewable once for one additional year. Subsequent contracts or purchase orders will be issued under the framework. The contracting authorities entitled to award these subsequent contracts are listed in the notice. The procurement is classified under CPV 71420000 (architectural and engineering services for urban planning/landscape design). The consultation specification (CCTP/RC) sets out the project context, the programme, the nature and content of the design mission, the expected competencies, the remuneration terms and the selection criteria. The contracting authority expects the design team to propose project-specific labels, with a stated objective of obtaining the Ecojardin label. The notice does not disclose the estimated value by lot because the contract is not divided into lots. Variants are not permitted. Electronic catalogue submissions are prohibited.

About this sector

Climate adaptation funding helps communities, infrastructure and businesses prepare for heat, flooding, drought and sea level rise. Most of it is public and multilateral money, often targeted at vulnerable regions and delivered with local government. Calls usually ask for a climate risk assessment and evidence that local people shaped the plan.
