French term

marché global de performance (MGP)

French to English Tech/Engineering Construction / Civil Engineering Public procurement contracts
Hi, the context is as follows:

"... **le marché global de performance (MGP) ** succède aux marchés de conception, réalisation, exploitation et maintenance (CREM) et de réalisation, exploitation et maintenance (REM) précédemment prévus par le Code des marchés publics."

I'm trying to find a neat & compact translation for this performance-based public procurement contract as it comes up repeatedly in the text. My article is actually about the energy-related version of the contract, the MGPE (marché global de performance énergétique), which is intended to improve energy efficiency.

Any ideas would be very welcome!

Thank you for these references which are very useful. I was going down the route of "integrated" for "global" but "global performance contract" does seem to be an accepted term in the industry.

Global Performance Contract

"In some jurisdictions, specific output-based performance procurement contracts exist. For e.g. in France with the “Marche Global de Performance” where the private partner is in charge of the design, built and maintenance of the infrastructure with output-based specifications and performance base remuneration linked to the achievement of measurable performance commitments.

The ordinance of the 23 July 2015 (codified at the article L2171-3 and R2171-2 of the “Code de la Commande Publique”) created a new category of global contract the “Marche global de performance”, with specific and measurable performance commitments in terms of outcomes specifications.
“The global performance contract combines operation or maintenance with the construction or design and construction of an asset in order to fulfill quantified performance objectives. These objectives are defined in terms of level of activity, quality of service, energy efficiency or environmental impact. The global performance contract has measurable performance commitments.”"

"Global Performance Contract
Contract that covers operational maintenance, combined with delivering or designing services so as to meet targeted performance objectives. The objectives are defined in terms of levels of activity, service quality or energy efficiency, or in terms of consequences on the environment. Because of their global nature, such contracts allow for a competitive procurement procedure (hearings during which the initial bid is modified as the procedure unfolds). The Global Energy Performance Contract has replaced the “CREM” contract, which now no longer exists. "

global performance contract

Hi Katie, unfortunately this exact phrase doesn't appear in any of my legal dicitionaries so I can't point to a clear source, but given that 'marché' can be simply translated as a 'contract,' I would opt for 'global performance contract.' I've found a site where 'MGP' is translated in this way, and also the use of this exact phrase on a UK government website, so that would be my choice. Both links below, I hope this helps.
Note from asker:
Thank you! I was wondering if I needed to include the aspect of public procurement in there, but it seems not.

Global Performance Contract (GPC)

Since 3 colleagues have already submitted identical proposals, I may venture to do the same, but with different references.

Built by the Legendre Group, this mixed-use project of 11,000 m² houses the Habitat 76 headquarters called “Spatium” and two buildings with a total of 67 housings. Built under a "Global Performance Contract" (GPC) , the building dedicated to the Habitat 76 teams has obtained the Passivhaus label (a European certification).
:
Legendre Energy will be responsible for the maintenance and operation of the building for 10 years. To optimise its consumption, the teams will rely on the data provided by MaXim (Maintenance eXploitation bIM), a monitoring tool developed entirely by the Legendre Group’s engineering teams. This new technology allows to centralise consumption data to facilitate the management of buildings and optimise their use.

What about DBO contracts (or maybe O-DB) in the water treatment infrastructure French market ?
:
In 2014 a European Directive promoting lifecycle durability & plant performance, specifically for energy efficiency, triggered changes. Then came the "Global Performance Contract" (hereafter GPC), a Design-Build-Operate (DBO) procurement contract where operation revenues are based on measurable performance commitments (energy efficiency, environmental impacts…).
:
GPC suddenly became a good alternative for communities open to contract with private plant operators but not willing to borrow money from big corporations for building their water treatment infrastructures. Besides, GPC would allow public authorities to shorten operator’s contract duration (no more linked to CAPEX amortization) and to better control their water tariffs. While DSP can last up to 30 years, GPCs in water treatment infrastructures tend to be based on 6 to 10 years, including construction period (2 to 3 years).

For the context:

**The Global Performance Contract (GPC) ** replaces the Design, Build, Operate and Maintain (DBOM) and Build, Operate and Maintain (BOM) contracts previously provided for by the Public Procurement Code.
Note from asker:
Many thanks. The references are extremely useful.
