The decision of the Territorial Council or the Executive Council instructing the President of the Territorial Council to award a specific contract may be taken before the award procedure is initiated. In this case, it must include a definition of the scope of the need to be met and the estimated value of the contract.
The Territorial Council may, at any time, decide that the contract may only be signed after a new deliberation, once the identity of the successful tenderer and the amount of the contract are known.
This article does not apply to the contracts referred to in article LO 6252-11 than when the President of the Territorial Council has not received the delegation provided for in the same article.
