The Organizing Committee for the Paris 2024 Olympic Games has issued a public call for tenders for the supply of condoms in the future Olympic Village and other accommodation venues.

In the city of love that is Paris, you have to take precautions. While more than 10,000 athletes are expected for the future Paris 2024 Olympic Games, the Organizing Committee has issued a public call for tenders concerning the supply of condoms within the Olympic Village in Seine Saint -Denis and accommodation around Marseille, Lille, Châteauroux or even Tahiti. 

As revealed by our colleagues from Sport Société, candidates will have until February 13 to submit their application to the Cojo, while the call was published on January 12.

The same cardboard beds as in Tokyo

If we look at the details of this call for tenders, a first batch concerns the supply of nearly 200,000 male condoms, with latex and packaged in individual sachets. "Natural color, smooth texture, without particular taste or fragrance, standard size" – i.e. 160 mm in length and 52 mm in diameter – "lubricated with reservoir".

Within the call for tenders, there is also the supply of 10,000 latex-free male condoms, power personality pouches, 20,000 standard and latex-free female condoms , 160 mm long. Or 20,000 pods of paraben-free lubricants.

As a reminder, athletes from around the world will have cardboard beds at their disposal, similar to those in Tokyo, which had been pointed out as designed to prevent any sexual act.
