Paragraph 3: Award of sub-contracts where the estimated value of the requirement is equal to or greater than the thresholds for the formal procedure

Where the subcontract meets a need whose estimated value, calculated in accordance with the provisions of Chapter I of Title II, is equal to or greater than the thresholds for the formalised procedure, the contractor shall make known its intention to award the subcontract by means of a notice published in the Official Journal of the European Union in accordance with Article R. 2131-19.

The notice referred to in article R. 2393-18 shall be drawn up in accordance with the model set out in the European Commission regulation establishing standard forms for the publication of notices in connection with the award of public contracts.

By way of derogation from article R. 2393-18, the holder is not required to publish a notice when the sub-contract fulfils the conditions for use of the award procedure without prior advertising or competitive tendering provided for in Chapter II of Title II.
