concerning the coordination of procedures for the award of public
workscontracts
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic
Community, and in particular Articles 57 (2), 66 and 100a thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission(1),
In cooperation withth e European Parliament(2),
Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social
Committee(3),
Whereas Council Directive 71/305/EEC of 26 July 1971 concerning the
coordination of procedures for the award of public works contracts(4)
has been amended substantially and on a number of occasions;whereas, for reasons of clarity and better understanding, the said Direc-tive should be consolidated;
Whereas the simultaneous attainment of freedom of establishment and
freedom to provide services in respect of public works contractsawarded in Member States on behalf of the State, or regional or localauthorities or other bodies governed by public law entails not only theabolition of restrictions but also the coordination of national procedures
for the award of public works contracts;
Whereas such coordination should take into account as far as possible
the procedures and administrative practices in force in each MemberState;
Whereas this Directive does not apply to certain works contracts which
are awarded in the water, energy, transport and telecommunicationsectors covered by Directive 90/531/EEC;
Whereas, in view of the increasing importance of concession contracts
in the public works area and of their specific nature, rules concerningadvertising should be included in this Directive;
Whereas works contracts of less than ECU 5 000000 may be exempted
from competition as provided for under this Directive and it is appro-priate to provide for their exemption from coordination measures;
Whereas provision must be made for exceptional cases where measures
concerning the coordination of procedures need not be applied, but
suchcases must be expressly limited;
Whereas the negotiated procedure should be considered to be excep-
tional and therefore only applicable in certain limited cases;
Whereas it is necessary to provide common rules in the technical field
which take account of the Community policy on standards and specifi-
cations;
Whereas, to ensure development of effective competition in the field of
public contracts, it is necessary that contract notices drawn up by thecontracting authorities of Member States be advertised throughout the
Community; whereas the information contained in these notices must
enable contractors established in the Community to determine whetherthe proposed contracts are of interest to them; whereas, for thispurpose, it is appropriate to give them adequate information on theworks undertaken and the conditions attached thereto; whereas, moreparticularly, in restricted procedures advertisement is intended to1993L0037 — EN — 18.11.2001 — 003.002 — 2

contracts by seeking from the contracting authorities invitations totender under the required conditions;
Whereas additional information concerning contracts must, as is
customary in Member States, be given in the contract documents for
eachcontract or else in an equivalent document;
Whereas it is necessary to provide common rules for participation in
public works contracts, including bothqualitative selection criteria and
criteria for the award of the contract;
Whereas it would be appropriate to enable certain technical conditions
concerning notices and statistical reports required by this Directive tobe adapted in the light of changing technical requirements; whereasAnnex II to this Directive refers to the General Industrial Classificationof Economic Activities within the European Communities (NACE);

sory Committee for Public Contracts, in principle two years after
its initial application.
3. Where a work is subdivided into several lots, each one the subject
of a contract, the value of each lot must be taken into account for thepurpose of calculating the amounts referred to in paragraph 1. Wherethe aggregate value of the lots is not less than the amount referred toin paragraph 1, the provisions of that paragraph shall apply to all lots.
Contracting authorities shall be permitted to depart from this provision
for lots whose estimated value net of VAT is less than ECU 1 000000,provided that the total estimated value of all the lots exempted doesnot, in consequence, exceed 20 % of the total estimated value of alllots.

6. Contracting authorities shall ensure that there is no discrimination
between the various contractors.
Article 7
1. In awarding public works contracts the contracting authorities
shall apply the procedures defined in Article 1 (e), (f) and (g), adaptedto this Directive.
2. The contracting authorities may award their public works
contracts by negotiated procedure, withprior publication of a contract
notice and after having selected the candidates according to publiclyknown qualitative criteria, in the following cases:
(a) in the event of irregular tenders in response to an open or restricted
procedure or in the case of tenders which are unacceptable undernational provisions that are in accordance with the provisions ofTitle IV, insofar as the original terms of the contract are not
substantially altered. The contracting authorities shall not, in these
cases, publish a contract notice where they include in such nego-tiated procedure all the enterprises satisfying the criteria ofArticles 24 to 29 which, during the prior open or restricted proce-dure, have submitted tenders in accordance with the formalrequirements of the tendering procedure;
(b) when the works involved are carried out purely for the purpose of
research, experiment or development, and not to establish commer-cial viability or to recover researchand development costs;
(c) in exceptional cases, when the nature of the works or the risks
attaching thereto do not permit prior overall pricing.
3. The contracting authorities may award their public works
contracts by negotiated procedure without prior publication of acontract notice, in the following cases:
(a) in the absence of tenders or of appropriate tenders in response to an
open or restricted procedure insofar as the original terms of thecontract are not substantially altered and provided that a report iscommunicated to the Commission at its request;1993L0037 — EN — 18.11.2001 — 003.002 — 6

(b) when, for technical or artistic reasons or for reasons connected with
the protection of exclusive rights, the works may only be carriedout by a particular contractor;
(c) insofar as is strictly necessary when, for reasons of extreme
urgency brought about by events unforeseen by the contracting
authorities in question, the time limit laid down for the open,
restricted or negotiated procedures referred to in paragraph2cannot be kept. The circumstances invoked to justify extremeurgency must not in any event be attributable to the contractingauthorities;
(d) for additional works not included in the project initially considered
or in the contract first concluded but which have, through unfore-seen circumstances, become necessary for the carrying out of the
work described therein, on condition that the award is made to the
contractor carrying out suchwork:
— when such works cannot be technically or economically sepa-
rated from the main contract without great inconvenience tothe contracting authorities, or
— when such works, although separable from the execution of the
original contract, are strictly necessary to its later stages,
However, the aggregate amount of contracts awarded for additional
works may not exceed 50 % of the amount of the main contract;
e) for new works consisting of the repetition of similar works
entrusted to the undertaking to which the same contracting authori-ties awarded an earlier contact, provided that such works conformto a basic project for which a first contract was awarded according
to the procedures referred to in paragraph 4.
As soon as the first project is put up for tender, notice must be
given that this procedure might be adopted and the total estimated
cost of subsequent works shall be taken into consideration by the
contracting authorities when they apply the provisions of Article6. This procedure may only be adopted during the three yearsfollowing the conclusion of the original contract.
4. In all other cases, the contracting authorities shall award their
public works contracts by the open procedure or by the restrictedprocedure.

istics and relative advantages of the tender selected as well as the name
of the successful tenderer.
However, contracting authorities may decide that certain information
on the contract award, referred to in the preceding subparagraph, be
withheld where release of such information would impede law enforce-
ment or otherwise be contrary to the public interest or would prejudicethe legitimate commercial interests of particular undertakings, public orprivate, or might prejudice fair competition between contractors.
2. Contracting authorities shall promptly inform candidates and
tenderers of the decisions taken on contract awards, including the
reasons why they have decided not to award a contract for which therehas been an invitation to tender or to start the procedure again, andshall do so in writing if requested. They shall also inform the Officefor Official Publications of the European Communities of such deci-sions.
3. For each contract awarded, the contracting authorities shall draw
up a written report which shall include at least the following:
— the name and address of the contracting authority, the subject and
value of the contract,1993L0037 — EN — 18.11.2001 — 003.002 — 7

— the names of the candidates or tenderers admitted and the reasons
for their selection,
— the names of the candidates or tenderers rejected and the reasons
for their rejection,
— the name of the successful tenderer and the reasons for his tender
having been selected and, if known, any share of the contract thesuccessful tenderer may intend to subcontract to a third party,
— for negotiated procedures, the circumstances referred to in Article 7
which justify the use of these procedures.
This report, or the main features of it, shall be communicated to the
Commission at its request.
Article 9
In the case of contracts relating to the design and construction of a
public housing scheme whose size and complexity, and the estimated
duration of the work involved, require that planning be based fromthe outset on close collaboration within a team comprising representa-tives of the contracting authorities, experts and the contractor to beresponsible for carrying out the works, a special award procedure maybe adopted for selecting the contractor most suitable for integration into
the team.
In particular, contracting authorities shall include in the contract notice
as accurate as possible a description of the works to be carried out soas to enable interested contractors to form a valid idea of the project.Furthermore, contracting authorities shall, in accordance with Articles24 to 29, set out in such a contract notice the personal, technical and
financial conditions to be fulfilled by candidates.
Where such procedure is adopted, contracting authorities shall apply
the common advertising rules relating restricted procedure and to thecriteria for qualitative selection.
TITLE II
COMMONRULESINTHETECHNICALFIELD
Article 10
1. The technical specifications defined in Annex III shall be given in
the general or contractual documents relating to each contract.
2. Without prejudice to the legally binding national technical rules
and insofar as these are compatible with Community law, the technical
specifications shall be defined by the contracting authorities by refer-ence to national standards implementing European standards, or byreference to European technical approvals or by reference to commontechnical specifications.
3. A contracting authority may depart from paragraph 2 if:
(a) the standards, European technical approvals or common technical
specifications do not include any provision for establishing confor-
mity, or, if technical means do not exist for establishing
satisfactorily the conformity of a product to these standards,European technical approvals or common technical specifications;
(b) use of these standards, European technical approvals or common
technical specifications would oblige the contracting authority to
acquire products or materials incompatible withequipment alreadyin use or would entail disproportionate costs or disproportionatetechnical difficulties, but only as part of a clearly defined andrecorded strategy with a view to change-over, within a givenperiod, to European standards, European technical approvals or
common technical specifications;
(c) the project concerned is of a genuinely innovative nature for which
use of existing European standards, European technical approvalsor common technical specifications would not be appropriate.1993L0037 — EN — 18.11.2001 — 003.002 — 8
▼B
4. Contracting authorities invoking paragraph 3 shall record, wher-
ever possible, the reasons for doing so in the tender notice publishedin theOfficial Journal of the European Communities or in the contract
documents and in all cases shall record these reasons in their internal
documentation and shall supply such information on request to MemberStates and to the Commission.
5. In the absence of European standards or European technical
approvals or common technical specifications, the technical specifica-
tions:
(a) shall be defined by reference to the national technical specifications
recognized as complying with the basic requirements listed in theCommunity directives on technical harmonization, in accordancewith the procedures laid down in those directives, and in particular
in accordance withth e procedures laid down in Council Directive
89/106/EEC of 21 December 1988 on the approximation of laws,regulations and administrative provisions of the Member Statesrelating to construction products(
1);
(b) may be defined by reference to national technical specifications
relating to design and method of calculation and execution ofworks and use of materials;
(c) may be defined by reference to other documents.
In this case, it is appropriate to make reference in order of preference
to:
(i) national standards implementing international standards accepted
by the country of the contracting authority;
(ii) other national standards and national technical approvals of the
country of the contracting authority;
(iii) any other standard.
6. Unless such specifications are justified by the subject of the
contract, Member States shall prohibit the introduction into the contrac-tual clauses relating to a given contract of technical specificationswhich mention products of a specific make or source or of a particularprocess and which therefore favour or eliminate certain undertakings.
In particular, the indication of trade marks, patents, types, or of a
specific origin or production shall be prohibited. However, if such indi-cation is accompanied by the words ‘or equivalent’, it shall beauthorized in cases where the contracting authorities are unable togive a description of the subject of the contract using specificationswhich are sufficiently precise and intelligible to all parties concerned.

authority shall state in the contract documents or in the contract noticeall the criteria it intends to apply to the award, where possible indescending order of importance.
3. Paragraph 1 shall not apply when a Member State bases the

relation to the works, the contracting authority shall, before it mayreject those tenders, request, in writing, details of the constituent
elements of the tender which it considers relevant and shall verify
those constituent elements taking account of the explanations received.
The contracting authority may take into consideration explanations
which are justified on objective grounds including the economy of theconstruction method, or the technical solution chosen, or the exception-ally favourable conditions available to the tenderer for the execution ofthe work, or the originality of the work proposed by the tenderer.
If the documents relating to the contract provide for its award at the
lowest price tendered, the contracting authority must communicate to
the Commission the rejection of tenders which it consider to be toolow.

contracting authority may exceptionally, without any discrimination ongrounds of nationality, reject tenders which are abnormally low in rela-tion to the works, without being obliged to comply with the procedure1993L0037 — EN — 18.11.2001 — 003.002 — 17

nationality, freedom of establishment and freedom to provide services,
and withth e Community's international obligations.
