CDG 13

What CDG 13 does

CDG 13 (Centre de Gestion des Bouches-du-Rhône) is a decentralized French public administrative establishment, created under the Code Général de la Fonction Publique and headquartered in Aix-en-Provence, that delivers mandatory HR support services to territorial public collectivities (municipalities and public establishments) within the Bouches-du-Rhône department. Its statutory mandate covers the organization of competitive examinations for territorial civil service recruitment, statutory and legal advisory across the employment lifecycle, occupational health and risk prevention, joint administrative body administration, complementary social protection (health and prévoyance), statutory risk insurance, retirement counseling as a relay to CNRACL and IRCANTEC, archives management, and mediation/ethics services. Services are delivered through a dedicated headquarters in Aix-en-Provence, a TYPO3-based website portal, regular webinars (Jeudis RH'actu), and a substantial document library (Docuthèque).

The organization monetizes via two principal streams: statutory membership contributions from affiliated public employers (scaled to payroll) and tiered annual contribution fees paid by non-affiliated public entities seeking voluntary access to its services (ranging from 800 EUR to 5,500 EUR per contract depending on headcount and coverage scope). Strategic partnerships underpin its insurance and retirement offerings, including Relyens for statutory risk insurance, MNT for collective health contracts effective January 2025, and CNRACL/IRCANTEC for retirement administration. Technology infrastructure is modest: TYPO3 CMS for the public website, Google Analytics for traffic measurement, and the Collecteam platform for insurance certificate exchange. The organization is governed by a Board of Directors composed of elected representatives from affiliated collectivities and reports to the French ministry responsible for local government. It does not publish revenue, has no private shareholders or funding rounds, and operates within a single department, making CDG 13 a stable, mandate-driven institution rather than a growth-oriented enterprise.
