Article L2113-11 of the French Public procurement code

The purchaser may decide not to allot a contract in one of the following cases:
1° It is not in a position to carry out the organisational, steering and coordination tasks itself;
2° Awarding the contract in separate lots is likely to restrict competition or is likely to make it technically difficult or financially more costly to perform the services.
Where a purchaser decides not to allocate the contract, it shall give reasons for its choice, setting out the legal and factual considerations on which its decision is based.

L’acheteur peut décider de ne pas allotir un marché dans l’un des cas suivants :
1° Il n’est pas en mesure d’assurer par lui-même les missions d’organisation, de pilotage et de coordination ;
2° La dévolution en lots séparés est de nature à restreindre la concurrence ou risque de rendre techniquement difficile ou financièrement plus coûteuse l’exécution des prestations.
Lorsqu’un acheteur décide de ne pas allotir le marché, il motive son choix en énonçant les considérations de droit et de fait qui constituent le fondement de sa décision.
