The scope covers site layouts, handling and processing systems, utilities, supporting infrastructure, and constructability, environmental, health and safety, cost and risk assessments. The work is expected from July 2027 to January 2029. Interested firms need experience across industrial process engineering, bulk-material systems, site logistics and construction planning. CERN lists a cost range of CHF 400,000 to CHF 1.5 million. A market survey is expected in November 2026, followed by an invitation to tender in March 2027. - Status: upcoming - Country: CH - Buyer: CERN - Submission deadline: Not available (unavailable) - Original notice: https://forthcoming-ms.app.cern.ch/?id=MS-5215/SCE/LT/#!/ - Source checked: 2026-10-28T11:00:26.206927Z ## Source-backed public facts ```json { "id": "4b52f75e-4c66-4155-9037-5a3f0d627aa8", "revision": 4, "modifiedAt": "2026-10-28T11:04:19.100342+00:00", "sourceCheckedAt": "2026-10-28T11:00:26.206927Z", "stale": false, "url": "https://zephior.com/tenders/4b52f75e-4c66-4155-9037-5a3f0d627aa8/cern-fcc-surface-facilities-engineering", "locale": "en", "title": "FCC excavation-material surface facilities engineering services", "summary": "CERN plans to procure engineering services to design surface installations for handling excavated material generated by the Future Circular Collider study.
