Dieppe’s municipal social-action centre, CCAS de Dieppe, awarded Up Coop a joint supply agreement for personalised assistance vouchers and gift vouchers on 25 September 2026. The official award notice sets a maximum of EUR 990,000 excluding VAT and no minimum purchase commitment. That is an available spending ceiling across both voucher types, not completed sales or a budget assigned solely to gift cards. [S01] [S02]

Service quality shapes the award, while orders determine revenue

Five bids were received. Technical quality carried 80% of the assessment and price 20%, making the ordering process and local usefulness of the vouchers central to the selection. These are the published evaluation weights; the notice does not report the bidders’ achieved scores. [S02]

The quality description identifies ordering arrangements, the importance and relevance of the local merchant network and plans to develop it, plus dispute resolution and customer follow-up. Its stated subweights are 30%, 30% and 20%. The original tender explains why the buyer kept the purchase together: simpler ordering, including urgent requests, and coordination of associated costs. It requires delivery of ordered vouchers, gift cards and any magnetic cards to the treasury serving the CCAS. [S02] [S03]

The assistance and gift-voucher categories should remain distinct. Up Coop describes its Chèque de Services assistance product as targeted support for essential purchases within designated spending domains. That general product description does not establish the denominations, beneficiaries or exact merchant list Dieppe will order, and the award supplies no split of the ceiling between the two categories. [S02] [S04]

The arrangement begins with 12 months and permits three further annual renewals, for a maximum of 48 months. The notice gives 26 October 2026 as the planned start; the original tender expressly describes that date as the hoped-for start of performance. Unit prices may be revised under the administrative clauses. The September contract date establishes the supplier decision, while actual order values and redemption remain separate, unreported outcomes. [S02] [S03]

One structured notice field labels the procurement as having no framework, although its title, substantive description and ceiling explanation repeatedly specify a single-supplier framework with purchase orders. The reporting follows those explicit terms and preserves that inconsistency rather than treating it as evidence of guaranteed expenditure. [S02]
