Article L2211-6 of the French Public procurement code

The procedure for awarding a partnership contract may only be initiated if the purchaser demonstrates that, taking into account the characteristics of the planned project, the requirements of the public service or the mission of general interest with which the purchaser is entrusted, or the shortcomings and difficulties observed in the implementation of comparable projects, the use of such a contract presents a more favourable balance sheet, particularly in financial terms, than that of other methods of implementing the project. The criterion of deferred payment alone does not constitute an advantage.
The procedures for establishing this balance sheet are laid down by decree in the Conseil d’Etat.

Original in French 🇫🇷
Article L2211-6


La procédure de passation d’un marché de partenariat ne peut être engagée que si l’acheteur démontre que, compte tenu des caractéristiques du projet envisagé, des exigences de service public ou de la mission d’intérêt général dont l’acheteur est chargé, ou des insuffisances et difficultés observées dans la réalisation de projets comparables, le recours à un tel contrat présente un bilan plus favorable, notamment sur le plan financier, que celui des autres modes de réalisation du projet. Le critère du paiement différé ne saurait à lui seul constituer un avantage.
Les modalités d’établissement de ce bilan sont fixées par décret en Conseil d’Etat.
