Subsection 2: Economic census procedures

The purpose of the economic survey is to collect and use statistical data relating to the award, notification and performance of contracts awarded in application of the provisions of this code.

The list of data communicated to the Observatoire économique de la commande publique, which may concern the award and performance of the contract, as well as the procedures for communicating this data, are set out in the Order annexed to this Code.

To enable the Observatoire économique de la commande publique (Economic Observatory for Public Procurement) to compile and use a database covering all public procurement operations, each of the contracts listed is identified by means of a unique identifier number, the composition of which is defined by an order appended to this code.
