L'Isle-Adam river port: call for bids for a concession of up to 15 years

The town of L'Isle-Adam (Val-d'Oise) has launched a public service concession procedure to entrust the management and operation of its river port and nautical stopover. The aim of the 10- to 15-year contract is to provide a high-quality service for pleasure boaters, while guaranteeing the maintenance and development of port infrastructures.

A modern river port at the heart of the Oise River

Opening in 2022, the river port of L'Isle-Adam offers 139 berths for boats up to 25.9 meters long and with a maximum draught of 2 meters. It is equipped with a harbor master's office, sanitary facilities, a self-service careening area, as well as services such as wastewater pumping, water and electricity distribution, and PRM access on a pontoon .

The nautical stopover has a 24-meter pontoon, a 300 m² water surface, two bollards and four mooring cleats, enabling it to accommodate two pleasure boats .

A change in management style

At present, the port is managed by Eiffage Aménagement under a civil lease, with operations subcontracted to Sodeports. The boat stop is managed by Sodeports under an occupancy agreement for the public river domain. The commune has decided to terminate the civil lease early and entrust management of the two infrastructures to a single concessionaire under a public service concession .

The future concessionaire's missions

The concessionaire will be responsible for the operation of port services, upkeep and maintenance of equipment, including regular dredging of the port. It will also have to make and finance the investments required for the service to run smoothly. The concessionaire will be remunerated from operating revenues, with payment of a fee to the municipality.

An open call for applications

The consultation is open until September 11, 2025. Candidates should propose a contract duration of between 10 and 15 years, justified in terms of the investments envisaged. Market documents are available on the commune's buyer profile .
