What the buyer is looking for
The contract contains optional tranches as defined in the tender specifications. Details of the tasks entrusted to the Contractor are set out in the tender specifications.

The objectives of the contract are as follows: - Securing the high-voltage power supply of the Orsay-Bures-Gif campus of the University of Paris-Saclay; - Switch the general supply to the site to 20 000 V and adapt the installations accordingly; - Optimize the High Voltage infrastructure so as to find the best compromise between securing the power supply and reducing the associated maintenance operating costs. To this end, the holder must: - Supervise the replacement and diversion of the site's high-voltage distribution; - Exchange with Enedis to study the possibilities of direct power supply to the grid and the possibilities of switching from general power supply to 20,000 V
