Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process facilitated by CERN, a renowned European institution located in Geneva, pertains to the construction of a new mixed-use Building 3189 at the LHC Pt 1.8 site in France. This project falls under the architectural, construction, engineering, and inspection services category and is currently in the planning stage. An invitation to tender is expected to be issued in the fourth quarter of 2025, with the evaluation based on the lowest compliant bid. Firms interested in this substantial development, valued at CHF 10 million, should engage with the process by participating in the Pre-Qualification Questionnaire.

This tender presents a lucrative opportunity for businesses specialising in construction and civil engineering works, offering extensive scope for growth and development. The project requires a range of services including earthworks, structural concrete works, interior fit-out, and installation of fire safety equipment, among others. Enterprises proficient in large-scale construction projects, particularly those extending services to both the UK and EU regions, would be well-positioned to capitalise on this opportunity.
