Article L2222-1 of the French Public procurement code

The purchaser may provide that the financing terms indicated in the final tender may be adjusted.
These adjustments may not have the effect of calling into question the conditions of competitive tendering by exonerating the purchaser from the obligation to comply with the principle of choosing the most economically advantageous tender, or of allowing the prospective contractor to alter the structure of its tender.
The adjustment to the tender only concerns the financial component of the overall cost of the contract and is based solely on the variation in the financing arrangements, to the exclusion of any other element.

Original in French 🇫🇷
Article L2222-1


L’acheteur peut prévoir que les modalités de financement indiquées dans l’offre finale présentent un caractère ajustable.
Ces ajustements ne peuvent avoir pour effet de remettre en cause les conditions de mise en concurrence en exonérant l’acheteur de l’obligation de respecter le principe du choix de l’offre économiquement la plus avantageuse ni de permettre au titulaire pressenti de bouleverser l’économie de son offre.
L’ajustement de l’offre ne porte que sur la composante financière du coût global du contrat et est seulement fondé sur la variation des modalités de financement à l’exclusion de tout autre élément.
