The concession-granting authority may not impose conditions on the participation of candidates in the award procedure other than those designed to ensure that they have the ability to carry out the professional activity, the economic and financial capacity or the technical and professional capability necessary to perform the concession contract.
Where the management of a public service is conceded, these conditions of participation may relate in particular to the ability of the candidates to ensure the continuity of the public service and the equality of users before the public service.
These conditions are linked and proportionate to the subject of the concession contract or to its conditions of performance.
