A €3.4 million, 48-month open procurement in Eure-et-Loir covers urban and peri-urban video surveillance equipment, with bids accepted in French until 24 July 2026.

Chartres Metropole is procuring urban and peri-urban video surveillance under reference 26A025, a single-lot supply contract valued at €3.4 million. The opportunity sits across two procurement domains: radio, television, communication, telecommunication and related equipment, and security, fire-fighting, police and defence equipment. For suppliers active in video-surveillance systems and security cameras, the tender is a clear public-sector opportunity in the French local-authority market, with a 48-month contract horizon and both price and quality used in the evaluation.

Authority and history

Chartres Metropole is listed as a French public buyer with general public services as its main activity. The procurement is being run through marches-securises.fr, with the tender also published through FR BOAMP and TED. The available details identify the buyer contact channel as marches.publics@agglo-ville.chartres.fr and the contact phone number as +33 237234064.

The current opportunity is not framed as a framework split across several technical packages. It is a single-lot supply contract for urban and peri-urban video surveillance in Eure-et-Loir. The available scope description is concise, with the detailed nature, quantities and needs placed in the tender specifications. For qualification purposes, that means suppliers should treat the specification package as the controlling source for the technical solution, coverage, equipment, integration and delivery requirements.

Chartres Metropole has two open tenders recorded with a combined value of €1.3 million. Its wider recorded activity is materially larger: 217 renewals worth €850 million and 854 contract awards worth €3.5 billion. For comparable activity around this opportunity, Hermix records nine similar renewals worth €17 million and 11 similar contract awards worth €16 million.

The broader market reference is also substantial. Other buyers with similar projects account for 2.3K opportunities or contracts worth €16 billion. That does not turn this tender into a proxy for the whole French video-surveillance market, but it does place the opportunity inside a procurement area with significant recorded public-sector activity. Hermix also records one prior notice for Chartres Metropole, worth €44 million.

Competitive landscape

Available comparable award data identifies seven suppliers with recorded activity in similar contracts. Hermix users can access the full comparable contractor list inside the platform with a free account. Within the available supplier set, value is concentrated around two names.

Chartres Metropole Innovations Numeriques has the highest recorded value, with €11 million across four contracts and an average contract value of €2.7 million. Sogetrel Agence Toulouges follows with €3.9 million across two contracts and an average value of €2 million. Together, these two suppliers account for approximately €14.9 million of the €16.1 million represented by the available supplier set, or about 92.6% of that recorded value.

The remaining suppliers appear with one recorded contract each. Eryma records €500,000. SPIE records €315,000. Casapub records €200,000. Sade Telecom records €135,000. Chartres Metropole Innovation Numerique CM IN records €42,000.

The recorded comparable supplier activity is entirely French by contractor country, with France accounting for €16 million across 11 contracts and an average value of €1.4 million. The local-country concentration is commercially relevant. The tender permits offers in French, is administered through a French submission platform, and concerns delivery in Eure-et-Loir. None of that excludes non-French suppliers as a matter of fact, but the recorded comparable activity points to a supplier field anchored in France.

The distribution is not even. Chartres Metropole Innovations Numeriques alone accounts for approximately 68.4% of the available comparable supplier value. The difference between the two largest suppliers and the rest of the group is also marked: after Sogetrel Agence Toulouges at €3.9 million, the next highest recorded supplier value is €500,000. For a bidder, this kind of concentration is useful not because it predicts the winner, but because it clarifies the recent award pattern around similar work.

Commercial and procedural signals

This is an open procedure. The commercial signal is direct: the competition is not restricted to preselected bidders at the first stage. Suppliers able to meet the requirements and submit in French by the deadline can compete under the procedure described.

The deadline window is 38 calendar days, from publication on 16 June 2026 to submission on 24 July 2026. For a €3.4 million surveillance procurement with price and quality criteria, that is a finite preparation period. The practical issue is not merely administrative submission. Bidders need enough time to read the specifications, confirm eligibility, shape the technical response, price the equipment and delivery model, and prepare the quality evidence required by the tender materials.

The award criteria are price and quality. No weighting is specified in the available tender data, so bidders should avoid assuming that price is dominant or that quality carries a particular percentage. The detailed procurement materials should drive the bid strategy, especially where the available tender data does not specify the weighting between price and quality.

The single-lot structure matters. Suppliers are not being offered separate public tender lots for equipment, installation, maintenance or related components in the available tender data. The procurement is presented as one contract for urban and peri-urban video surveillance. Bidders should therefore qualify whether they can cover the complete requirement as one offer across the 48-month contract period.

The language requirement is also material. Offers are allowed in French. For international suppliers, that affects both the bid process and the practical management of clarifications, contractual material and local delivery coordination. It also aligns with the contractor-country pattern in the comparable awards, where all recorded value sits with France-based suppliers.

EU funding is not attached to the procurement. The absence of EU funding does not remove procurement compliance obligations, but it does mean the tender is not identified as EU-funded in the available data. The contract is valued at €3.4 million and is classified as a supplies contract, with CPV coverage around video-surveillance systems and security cameras.

Strategic context

The tender sits at the intersection of public security infrastructure and communications equipment procurement. Its title is brief, but the classification is specific: video-surveillance systems and security cameras. The contract duration of 48 months gives the opportunity a multi-year profile, rather than a short one-off acquisition.

The recorded buyer context gives the tender a wider frame. Chartres Metropole has a large recorded award base, with 854 contract awards worth €3.5 billion, and a significant renewal base, with 217 renewals worth €850 million. The current procurement should not be inflated beyond its €3.4 million value, but it belongs to an authority with substantial recorded purchasing activity.

The comparable market also deserves attention. Eleven similar contract awards worth €16 million are recorded, and the available supplier set is heavily concentrated around Chartres Metropole Innovations Numeriques and Sogetrel Agence Toulouges. That does not settle the competitive question for this tender. It does, however, provide useful context for bidders assessing whether the opportunity is likely to favour established local relationships, specialised surveillance suppliers, or broader communications and security-equipment providers.

Hermix users analysing this tender can combine the current opportunity with comparable supplier activity, buyer spending patterns and renewal signals in the same workflow. For public-sector sales teams, that matters because bid qualification is rarely about the tender alone. It is also about the authority, the supplier field, the timing, the contract duration and the practical cost of submitting a credible offer.

Practical takeaways for bidders

This tender suits suppliers that can bid in French and deliver a complete urban and peri-urban video surveillance solution in Eure-et-Loir.

It also suits companies active in video-surveillance systems, security cameras, communications equipment, and public security infrastructure, provided they can respond to the full single-lot requirement.

The 48-month duration makes this more than a short equipment transaction. Bidders should assess delivery capacity across the whole contract period.

The €3.4 million estimated value gives the tender sufficient scale to justify careful competitive analysis before committing bid resources.

Critical attention point: the tender is single lot. Bidders should not assume that they can target only one component unless the detailed specifications permit such an approach.

Critical attention point: the award criteria are price and quality, but the available data does not specify weighting. The detailed procurement materials should drive the balance between price positioning and quality response.

Critical attention point: the submission window is 38 calendar days. Internal bid approval, pricing, technical review and French-language response preparation need to fit inside that calendar.

Critical attention point: available comparable award data is concentrated around a small number of suppliers. That does not determine the result, but it should inform competitive positioning.

Critical attention point: the recorded contractor-country pattern is entirely French. International suppliers should account for the language, submission and local delivery implications before committing resources.

Conclusions

Chartres Metropole is running a €3.4 million open tender for urban and peri-urban video surveillance in Eure-et-Loir, with a 48-month contract duration and evaluation based on price and quality. The procurement is a single-lot supplies opportunity, with offers allowed in French and a submission deadline of 24 July 2026. Recorded comparable award activity points to a concentrated supplier landscape, led by Chartres Metropole Innovations Numeriques and Sogetrel Agence Toulouges, while the wider buyer and market context confirms that this opportunity sits inside a substantial public-sector security and communications procurement area.
