Public contracts

Welcome to the public contracts section.

Throughout the year, the Muséum national d’Histoire naturelle signs new public procurement procedures and manages several hundred contracts.

To enter into a contract, the Muséum must:

evaluate the requirements in a given sector
draw up the terms of reference (administrative and technical parts)
publicise the procurement sufficiently
monitor the services performed by the selected suppliers

This should be done in compliance with the major principles of public procurement:

free access to public procurement
equal treatment of candidates
procedural transparency

These principles should ensure that public procurement is effective and that taxpayers’ money is put to good use.
