Works insurance and Collective ten-year liability insurance

This tender, originating from France and sourced via TED, concerns two types of insurance: 'Assurance Dommage ouvrage' and 'Assurance Contrat Collectif de Responsabilité Décennale'. 'Dommage ouvrage' insurance is mandatory in France for building owners undertaking new construction or major works, covering structural defects that become apparent after completion, irrespective of fault. The 'Responsabilité Décennale' is the ten-year liability insurance for builders and other professionals involved in construction, covering serious defects that compromise the building's integrity or habitability. The contracting authority, likely a public or private entity in France undertaking construction projects, is seeking comprehensive insurance coverage for these risks. Requirements typically include demonstrating financial solvency, a robust claims management process, and offering competitive premiums. The insurer must be authorized to operate in France and fully comply with French insurance law. The tender documentation will specify the scope of properties or projects to be covered, the required coverage limits, deductibles, policy duration, and the specific conditions associated with each insurance type. Bidders are expected to provide detailed policy terms and pricing.
