Article R2112-9 of the French Public procurement code

A firm price is a price which remains unchanged for the duration of the contract.
A contract is concluded at a firm price when this form of price is not such as to expose the parties to major uncertainties due to reasonably foreseeable changes in economic conditions during the period of performance of the services.
The firm price may be discounted under the conditions defined in this paragraph. The price thus discounted remains firm throughout the period of performance of the services and constitutes the settlement price.

Article R2112-9


Un prix ferme est un prix invariable pendant la durée du marché.
Un marché est conclu à prix ferme, lorsque cette forme de prix n’est pas de nature à exposer les parties à des aléas majeurs du fait de l’évolution raisonnablement prévisible des conditions économiques pendant la période d’exécution des prestations.
Le prix ferme est actualisable dans les conditions définies au présent paragraphe. Le prix ainsi actualisé reste ferme pendant toute la période d’exécution des prestations et constitue le prix de règlement.
