Article R2171-18 of the French Public procurement code

The jury draws up a report on the examination of the applications and formulates a reasoned opinion on the list of candidates to be retained. The purchaser will draw up a list of candidates admitted to carry out the work.
The candidates admitted to the contract will carry out the work on which the jury will decide, after having heard them. These services shall include at least a preliminary outline design for a building or, for an infrastructure work, a preliminary design accompanied by a definition of the technical performance of the work.
The jury shall draw up minutes of the examination of the services and of the hearing of the candidates and shall formulate a reasoned opinion.
The purchaser may request clarifications or details concerning the tenders, within the framework of a call for tenders procedure, and the final tenders, within the framework of other procedures. These details, clarifications or additions may not have the effect of modifying the fundamental elements of the tender or the essential characteristics of the contract.
The contract is awarded in the light of the jury’s opinion.

Le jury dresse un procès-verbal d’examen des candidatures et formule un avis motivé sur la liste des candidats à retenir. L’acheteur arrête la liste des candidats admis à réaliser des prestations.
Les candidats admis exécutent des prestations sur lesquelles se prononce le jury, après les avoir entendus. Ces prestations comportent au moins un avant-projet sommaire pour un ouvrage de bâtiment ou, pour un ouvrage d’infrastructure, un avant-projet accompagné de la définition des performances techniques de l’ouvrage.
