´(a) ´´public supply contracts'' shall be contracts for pecuniary interest concluded in writing involving the purchase, lease, rental or hire purchase, with or without option to buy, of products between a supplier (a natural or legal person) and one of the contracting authorities defined in (b) below. The delivery of such products may in addition include siting and installation operations.' 2.
The following points are added:
'´(d) ´´open procedures'' are those national procedures whereby all interested suppliers can present an offer;
'´(e) ´´restricted procedures'' are those national procedures whereby only those suppliers invited by the contracting authorities may submit tenders;
'´(f) ´´negotiated procedures'' are those national procedures whereby contracting authorities consult suppliers of their choice and negotiate the terms of the contract with one or several of them.' Article 3 In Article 2:
1. Paragraph 1 is deleted.
2. Paragraph 2 is replaced by the following:
´2. This Directive shall not apply to:
(a) public supply contracts awarded by carriers by land, air, sea or inland waterway;
(b) public supply contracts awarded by contracting authorities in so far as those contracts concern the production, transport and distribution of drinking water or those contracting authorities whose principal activity lies in the production and distribution of energy, nor to those contracting authorities whose principal activity is to offer telecommunications services;
(c) supplies which are declared secret or when their delivery must be accompanied by special security measures in accordance with the laws, regulations or administrative provisions in force in the Member State concerned or when the protection of the basic interests of that State's security so require.' Article 4 The following Article is inserted:
´Article 2a Without prejudice to Articles 2, 3 and 5 (1), this Directive shall apply to all products within the meaning of Article 1 (a), including those covered by contracts awarded by contracting authorities in the field of defence, except for the products to which the provisions of Article 223 (1) (b) of the Treaty apply.' Article 5 Article 4 is deleted.
num: Article 6 Article 5 is replaced by the following:
paragraphs: ´Article 5 1. (a) Titles II, III and IV and Article 6 shall apply to public supply contracts:
- awarded by the contracting authorities referred to in Article 1 (b) including contracts awarded by the contracting authorities in the field of defence listed in Annex I to Directive 80/767/EEC, in so far as the products not listed in Annex II to the said Directive are concerned, provided that the estimated value net of VAT is not less than 200 000 ECU,
- awarded under the terms and conditions of Directive 80/767/EEC by the contracting authorities listed in Annex I to the said Directive and whose estimated value net of VAT is not less than 130 000 ECU; in the case of contracting authorities in the field of defence, this shall apply only to contracts involving products covered by Annex II to the said Directive;
(b) the Directive shall apply to public supply contracts for which the estimated value equals or exceeds the threshold concerned at the time of publication of the notice in accordance with Article 9 (2);
(c) the value of the thresholds in national currencies and the threshold of the GATT Agreement expressed in ECU shall in principle be revised every two years with effect from 1 January 1988. The calculation of these values shall be based on the average daily values of these currencies expressed in ECU and of the ECU expressed in SDRs over the 24 months terminating on the last day of October immediately preceding the 1 January revision. These values shall be published in the Official Journal of the European Communities at the beginning of November;
(d) the method of calculation laid down in subparagraph (c) shall be examined, on the Commission's initiative, by the Advisory Committee for Public Contracts, in principle two years after its initial application.
2. In the case of contracts for the lease, rental or hire purchase of products, the basis for calculating the estimated contract value shall be:
- in the case of fixed-term contracts, where their term is 12 months or less, the total contract value for its duration, or, where their term exceeds 12 months its total value including the estimated residual value,
- in the case of contracts for an indefinite period or in cases where there is doubt as to the duration of the contracts, the monthly value multiplied by 48.
3. In the case of regular supply contracts or of contracts which are to be renewed within a given time, either the aggregate cost of similar contracts concluded over the previous fiscal year or 12 months adjusted, where possible, for anticipated changes in quantity or value over the subsequent 12 months or the estimated aggregate cost during the 12 months following first delivery or during the term of the contract where this is greater than 12 months must be taken as the basis for the application of paragraph 1. The selection of the valuation method shall not be used with the intention of avoiding the application of this Article.
4. If a proposed procurement of supplies of the same type may lead to contracts being awarded at the same time in separate parts, the estimated value of the total sum of these parts must be taken as the basis for the application of paragraphs 1 and 2.
5. In the cases where a proposed procurement specifies option clauses, the basis for calculating the estimated contract value shall be the highest possible total of the purchase, lease, rental, or hire-purchase permissible, inclusive of the option clauses.
6. No procurement requirement for a given quantity of supplies may be split up with the intention of avoiding the application of this Article.' Article 7 Article 6 is replaced by the following text:
´Article 6 1. In awarding public supply contracts the contracting authorities shall apply the procedures laid down in Article 1 (d), (e) and (f), adapted to this Directive, in the cases set out below.
2. The contracting authorities may award their supply contracts using the restricted procedure in justified cases.
Such justification may inter alia be constituted by:
- a need to maintain a balance between contract value and procedural costs,
- the specific nature of the products to be procured.
3. The contracting authorities may award their supply contracts by negotiated procedure in the case of irregular tenders in response to an open or restricted procedure or in the case of tenders which are unacceptable under national provisions that are in accordance with provisions of Title IV, in so far as the original terms for the contract are not substantially altered. The contracting authorities shall in these cases publish a tender notice unless they include in such negotiated procedures all the enterprises satisfying the criteria of Articles 20 to 24 which, during the prior open or restricted procedure, have submitted offers in accordance with the formal requirements of the tendering procedure.
4. The contracting authorities may award their supply contracts by negotiated procedure without prior publication of a tender notice in the following cases:
(a) in the absence of tenders in response to an open or restricted procedure in so far as the original terms of the contract are not substantially altered and provided that a report is communicated to the Commission;
(b) when the articles involved are manufactured purely for the purpose of research, experiment, study or development, this provision does not extend to quantity production to establish commercial viability or to recover research and development costs;
(c) when, for technical or artistic reasons, or for reasons connected with protection of exclusive rights, the goods supplied may be manufactured or delivered only by a particular supplier;
(d) in so far as is strictly necessary when, for reasons of extreme urgency brought about by events unforeseeable by the contracting authorities, the time limits laid down for the open and restricted procedures cannot be met.
The circumstances invoked to justify extreme urgency must not in any case be attributable to the contracting authorities;
(e) for additional deliveries by the original supplier which are intended either as a partial replacement of normal supplies or installations or as the extension of existing supplies or installations where a change of supplier would oblige the contracting authority to acquire material having different technical characteristics which would result in incompatibility or disproportionate technical difficulties in operation and maintenance. The length of such contracts as well as that of recurrent contracts may, as a general rule, not exceed three years.
5. In all other cases, the contracting authorities shall award their supply contracts by the open procedure.
6. In the case of restricted or negotiated procedures, the contracting authorities shall draw up a written report which shall contain the justification for the use of that procedure and shall include at least the name and address of the contracting authority, the value, quantity and nature of products purchased, the number of requests to participate received, the number of candidates invited to submit an offer and, where applicable, the number of candidates rejected and the reasons for their rejection. The report shall also indicate in the case of the use of negotiated tender procedures the circumstances referred to in paragraphs 3 and 4 above with due justification which have led to the use of these procedures.
This report, or the main features of it, shall be communicated to the Commission at its request.' Article 8 Article 7 is replaced by the following:
´Article 7 1. The technical specifications defined in Annex II shall be given in the general documents or the contractual documents relating to each contract.
2. Without prejudice to the legally binding national technical rules in so far as these are compatible with Community law, such technical specifications shall be defined by the contracting authorities by reference to national standards implementing European standards, or by reference to common technical specifications.
3. A contracting authority may depart from the principle laid down in paragraph 2, if:
(a) the standards do not include provision for establishing conformity, or technical means do not exist to establish satisfactorily conformity of a product to these standards;
(b) the application of paragraph 2 would prejudice the application of Council Directive 86/361/EEC of 24 July 1986 on the initial stage of the mutual recognition of type approval for telecommunications terminal equipment (6), or Council Decision 87/95/EEC of 22 December 1986 on standardization in the field of information technology and telecommunications (7) or other Community instruments in specific service or product areas;
(c) use of these standards would oblige the contracting authority to acquire supplies incompatible with equipment already in use or would entail disproportionate costs or disproportionate technical difficulties, but only as part of a clearly defined and recorded strategy with a view to changeover, within a determined period, to European standards or common technical specifications;
(d) the project concerned is of a genuinely innovative nature for which use of existing standards would not be appropriate.
4. Contracting authorities invoking paragraph 3 shall record, unless it is impossible, the reasons for doing so in the tender notice published in the Official Journal of the European Communities and in all cases shall record these reasons in their internal documentation and shall supply such information on request to Member States and to the Commission.
5. In the absence of European standards or common technical specifications, the technical specifications may be defined, without prejudice to the principles of equivalence and mutual recognition of national technical specifications, by reference to other documents. In this case it is appropriate to make reference in order of preference to:
(a) national standards implementing international standards accepted in the country of the contracting authority;
(b) other national standards of the country of the contracting authority;
(c) any other standard.
6. Unless such specifications are justified by the subject of the contract, Member States shall prohibit the introduction into the contractual clauses relating to a given contract of technical specifications which mention goods of a specific make or source or of a particular process and which have the effect of favouring or eliminating certain undertakings or products. In particular, the indication of trade marks, patents, types or specific origin or production shall be prohibited; however, such an indication accompanied by the words ´´or equivalent'' shall be authorized where the subject of the contract cannot otherwise be described by specifications which are sufficiently precise and fully intelligible to all concerned.
(8) OJ No L 217, 5. 8. 1986, p. 21.
(9) OJ No L 36, 7. 2. 1987, p. 31.' Article 9 Article 9 is replaced by the following:

The contracting authorities listed in Annex I to Directive 80/767/EEC shall make known, as from 1 January 1989, as soon as possible after the beginning of their budgetary year, by means of an indicative notice, the total procurement by product area of which the estimated value, taking into account the provisions of Article 5 of this Directive, is equal or greater than 750 000 ECU and which they envisage awarding during the coming 12 months.
The Council, acting on a proposal from the Commission and after consulting the European Parliament and the Economic and Social Committee, shall decide before 1 March 1990 on the extension of this obligation to the other contracting authorities covered by Article 1.

3. Contracting authorities who have awarded a contract shall make known the result by means of a notice. However, certain information on the contract award may not be published, in given cases, where release of such information would impede law enforcement or otherwise be contrary to the public interest or would prejudice the legitimate commercial interests of particular enterprises, public or private, or might prejudice fair competition between suppliers.
4. The notices referred to in paragraphs 1, 2 and 3 shall be sent as rapidly as possible by the most appropriate channels to the Office for Official Publications of the European Communities. In the case of the accelerated procedure referred to in Article 12 the notice shall be sent by telex, telegram or facsimile.

This publication shall not contain information other than that published in the Official Journal of the European Communities.

Article 16 Article 26 is replaced by the following:
