Public contracts that come to an end during the period of exceptional circumstances may be extended by amendment beyond the term stipulated in the contract if it is not possible to organise a competitive tendering procedure.
In the case of a framework agreement, this extension may extend beyond the term mentioned in article L. 2125-1.
The duration of this extension may not exceed the duration of the period of exceptional circumstances, plus the time required to reopen the competition once this period has expired.
