Architecture tenders and design competitions in France

France publishes more architecture work than any other market TenderDesk covers. Public buildings are often commissioned through a concours de maîtrise d'œuvre: a short list of teams is selected on references, then paid to design a proposal. Notices appear in the BOAMP and, above the EU thresholds, in TED.

Questions

Where are architecture tenders published in France?
In the BOAMP for most public buyers, in TED for contracts above the EU thresholds, and on each buyer's own procurement profile, where the documents are downloaded and the bids submitted. TenderDesk gathers the BOAMP and TED notices in one feed and links to the buyer's platform.
What is a concours de maîtrise d'œuvre?
A design competition for the architect-led team (maîtrise d'œuvre). The buyer selects a few teams on their references, pays them a fee to design a proposal, and a jury ranks the designs before the contract is negotiated with the winner.
Can an architecture firm from another country bid in France?
Yes. Public tenders in the EU are open to firms from other member states on equal terms, and many teams pair a foreign lead with a local partner. Check the tender's requirements for professional registration (the Ordre des architectes) and for the language of the submission.
