A contract may be amended without a new competitive tendering procedure under the conditions laid down by regulation, when:
1° The amendments were provided for in the initial contractual documents;
2° Additional works, supplies or services have become necessary;
3° The amendments are made necessary by unforeseen circumstances;
4° A new contractor replaces the initial contractor;
5° The amendments are not substantial;
6° The amendments are small in amount.
Whether they are made by agreement or, in the case of an administrative contract, by the purchaser unilaterally, such amendments may not change the overall nature of the contract.
