DCP - Direction de la commande publique

1. Missions

The main missions of the Public Procurement Department (DCP) are:

• To participate in the development of the establishment's purchasing policy and its implementation
• To provide advisory services to the institution's departments, research structures and components in the management of their purchasing activities
• To take into account the requirements of economic, technical and sustainable development efficiency of procurement projects
• To ensure the award and performance of public contracts mainly.
• To ensure quality assurance within the framework of procedures and processes, within the DCP, towards users and suppliers

2. Teams

To do this, the DCP includes three structures that operate in their field of specialization:

• The Public Procurement Unit (PMP), organised on two levels: at central level and in 5 Campus offices (Aix-en-Provence, Centre, Etoile, Luminy and Timone), whose main missions cover the award and execution of public contracts
• The Purchasing Department (PA), organised centrally, whose main tasks include the development and implementation of the purchasing strategy
• The Administration services platform, organised centrally, whose main tasks are to contribute to the quality assurance mission implemented within the DCP and to manage the SIFAC market module

These structures work closely with the directorates, common services, components and research units.
