The objective is to enhance the municipal sports offerings and promote new accessible sports for the public. The project will be led by an economic operator responsible for its design, financing, construction, operation, and maintenance, under an administrative emphyteutic lease (BEA) with a provisional duration of 18 to 40 years.
Candidates must propose the creation of padel courts, the necessary equipment for their operation, landscaping, networks and connections, as well as reception areas and adequate furniture. Additional facilities such as covered courts, changing rooms, a club-house, or convivial spaces are also welcome.
The City will pay particular attention to projects that align with its local sports policy, promote access for the greatest number, foster links with sports associations, clubs, and schools, and demonstrate architectural and landscape quality, good urban integration, and nuisance control.
Application procedures, detailing site characteristics, occupation and operation conditions, selection criteria, and required documents, are outlined in the complete AMI file. Proposals must include a candidate presentation, a detailed project description, a provisional timeline, financing plan, and a five-year projected operating account.
