GlobalData Sport estimated the original tie-up – specifically covering last year's race – as being worth $0.3 million.

As part of the extended deal, Suez will connect the start and finish sites for all eight stages of the event to the mains water supply, as well as install water fountains for riders, members of the organization team, guests, media, and spectators. The firm will also distribute water bottles and reusable cups.

Finally, Suez will provide the public with information on water access points and water quality through its MonEau app, as well as information on resource conservation and waste sorting practices in Fan Zones, along the race route through a publicity caravan, and on social media.
