Article R2432-3 of the French Public procurement code

Where the assignment entrusted to the project manager includes assisting the project owner with the award of public works contracts, the public works contract must include an undertaking by the contractor to comply with the estimated cost of the works, as determined at the latest before the launch of the procedure for awarding public works contracts.
Compliance with this undertaking is checked after the economic operators responsible for the works have been consulted.
If the tolerance threshold is exceeded as a result of circumstances that the project manager could not have foreseen, the project owner may ask the project manager to adapt his studies, without additional remuneration.

Original in French 🇫🇷
Article R2432-3


Lorsque la mission confiée au maître d’œuvre comporte l’assistance au maître d’ouvrage pour la passation des marchés publics de travaux, le marché public de maîtrise d’œuvre prévoit l’engagement de son titulaire de respecter le coût prévisionnel des travaux arrêté au plus tard avant le lancement de la procédure de passation des marchés publics de travaux.
Le respect de cet engagement est contrôlé à l’issue de la consultation des opérateurs économiques chargés des travaux.
En cas de dépassement du seuil de tolérance ne résultant pas de circonstances que le maître d’œuvre ne pouvait prévoir, le maître d’ouvrage peut lui demander d’adapter ses études, sans rémunération supplémentaire.
