Organ Reconstruction and Heritage Restoration at Saint-Pierre Saint-Paul Church

This tender concerns the organ reconstruction and heritage restoration at Saint-Pierre Saint-Paul Church in Colombes, Ile-de-France, France. The project focuses on returning the organ to its original condition while adhering to heritage preservation standards. Practically, this involves a range of tasks including, but not limited to, assessment of the existing organ components, sourcing of historically accurate materials (e.g., specific types of wood, metal, or leather), careful disassembly and cleaning, repair or replacement of damaged parts, reassembly, and tonal regulation and tuning.

The absence of specific CPV codes makes it difficult to pinpoint precise specializations required, but given the 'general' trade designation, the contracting authority is likely seeking a main contractor with demonstrable experience in heritage restoration, specifically with organ building or restoration. Scale and complexity are indicated by the heritage designation, suggesting stringent conservation requirements and meticulous craftsmanship. Interested contractors should investigate the specific historical significance of the organ and the level of documentation required for heritage projects in France. The deadline for submission is May 12, 2026, allowing for a sufficient preparation period.
