A purchaser who uses a central purchasing body for a centralised purchasing activity may also entrust it with auxiliary purchasing activities, without applying the award procedures provided for in this Book.
Auxiliary purchasing activities consist of providing assistance with the award of contracts, in particular in the following forms:
1° Provision of technical infrastructure for the conclusion of works, supply or service contracts;
2° Advice on the choice, organisation and conduct of award procedures;
3° Preparation and management of award procedures in the name of and on behalf of the purchaser concerned.
