of 14 June 1993
concerning the coordination of procedures for the award of public
works contracts
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European EconomicCommunity, and in particular Articles 57(2), 66 and 100a thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission(
1),
In cooperation with the 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 Directive shouldbe 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 proceduresfor 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 5 000 000 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 theCommunity; whereas the information contained in these notices mustenable contractors established in the Community to determine whetherthe proposed contracts are of interest to them; whereas, for this purpose,it is appropriate to give them adequate information on the works under-taken and the conditions attached thereto; whereas, more particularly, inrestricted procedures advertisement is intended to enable contractors of

(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 notsubstantially altered. The contracting authorities shall not, in thesecases, publish a contract notice where they include in such nego-tiated procedure all the enterprises satisfying the criteria of Articles24 to 29 which, during the prior open or restricted procedure, havesubmitted tenders in accordance with the formal requirements of thetendering 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 research and development costs;

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 accordingto 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 estimatedcost of subsequent works shall be taken into consideration by thecontracting authorities when they apply the provisions of Article 6.This procedure may only be adopted during the three yearsfollowing the conclusion of the original contract.

public housing scheme whose size and complexity, and the estimatedduration of the work involved, require that planning be based from theoutset on close collaboration within a team comprising representativesof the contracting authorities, experts and the contractor to be respon-sible for carrying out the works, a special award procedure may beadopted for selecting the contractor most suitable for integration into theteam.
In particular, contracting authorities shall include in the contract notice
as accurate as possible a description of the works to be carried out so asto enable interested contractors to form a valid idea of the project.Furthermore, contracting authorities shall, in accordance with Articles

TITLE II
COMMON RULES IN THE TECHNICAL FIELD
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 technicalspecifications 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 establishingconformity, or, if technical means do not exist for establishingsatisfactorily the conformity of a product to these standards, Euro-pean technical approvals or common technical specifications;
(b) use of these standards, European technical approvals or common
technical specifications would oblige the contracting authority toacquire products or materials incompatible with equipment 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 given period,to European standards, European technical approvals or commontechnical specifications;
(c) the project concerned is of a genuinely innovative nature for which
use of existing European standards, European technical approvals orcommon technical specifications would not be appropriate.
4. Contracting authorities invoking paragraph 3 shall record, wher-
ever possible, the reasons for doing so in the tender notice published intheOfficial Journal of the European Communities or in the contract
documents and in all cases shall record these reasons in their internaldocumentation 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 particularin accordance with the procedures laid down in Council Directive89/106/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 of worksand use of materials;

(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 specifications whichmention products of a specific make or source or of a particular processand which therefore favour or eliminate certain undertakings. In partic-ular, the indication of trade marks, patents, types, or of a specific originor production shall be prohibited. However, if such indication is accom-panied by the words ‘or equivalent', it shall be authorized in caseswhere the contracting authorities are unable to give a description of thesubject of the contract using specifications which are sufficientlyprecise and intelligible to all parties concerned.

award of contracts shall be:
(a) either the lowest price only;
(b) or, when the award is made to the most economically advantageous
tender, various criteria according to the contract: e. g. price, periodfor completion, running costs, profitability, technical merit.
2. In the case referred to in paragraph 1 (b), the contracting authority
shall state in the contract documents or in the contract notice all thecriteria it intends to apply to the award, where possible in descendingorder of importance.
3. Paragraph 1 shall not apply when a Member State bases the award
of contracts on other criteria, within the framework of rules in force atthe time of the adoption of this Directive whose aim is to give prefer-ence to certain tenderers, on condition that the rules invoked arecompatible with the EEC Treaty.
4. If, for a given contract, tenders appear to be abnormally low in
relation to the works, the contracting authority shall, before it mayreject those tenders, request, in writing, details of the constituentelements of the tender which it considers relevant and shall verify thoseconstituent 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 tothe Commission the rejection of tenders which it consider to be too low.
However, until the end of 1992, if current national law so permits, the
contracting authority may exceptionally, without any discrimination ongrounds of nationality, reject tenders which are abnormally low inrelation to the works, without being obliged to comply with the proce-dure provided for in the first subparagraph if the number of such tendersfor a particular contract is so high that implementation of this procedurewould lead to a considerable delay and jeopardize the public attachingto the execution of the contract in question. Recourse to this exceptionalprocedure shall be mentioned in the notice referred to in Article 11 (5).
Article 31
1. Until 31 December 1992, this Directive shall not prevent the

1993L0037 — EN — 05.07.1993 — 000.001 — 17
▼B
provisions concerned are compatible with the Treaty, in particular with
the principles of non-discrimination on grounds of nationality, freedomof establishment and freedom to provide services, and with the Commu-nity’s international obligations.
