Article L3122-3 of the French Public procurement code

The conceding authority may not communicate confidential information that it holds in the context of a concession contract, such as information the disclosure of which would violate business secrecy, or information the disclosure of which could harm fair competition between economic operators, such as the communication during the consultation of the overall or detailed value of bids.
However, the conceding authority may ask economic operators to consent to the disclosure of certain confidential information that they have provided and that is specifically designated.
The conceding authority may impose on economic operators requirements designed to protect the confidentiality of information that it communicates as part of the procedure for awarding the concession contract.

Article L3122-3


L’autorité concédante ne peut communiquer les informations confidentielles qu’elle détient dans le cadre d’un contrat de concession, telles que celles dont la divulgation violerait le secret des affaires, ou celles dont la communication pourrait nuire à une concurrence loyale entre les opérateurs économiques, telle que la communication en cours de consultation de la valeur globale ou détaillée des offres.
Toutefois, l’autorité concédante peut demander aux opérateurs économiques de consentir à ce que certaines informations confidentielles qu’ils ont fournies, précisément désignées, puissent être divulguées.
L’autorité concédante peut imposer aux opérateurs économiques des exigences visant à protéger la confidentialité des informations qu’elle communique dans le cadre de la procédure de passation du contrat de concession.
