Article R3135-6 of the French Public procurement code

The concession contract may be amended when a new concessionaire replaces the concessionaire to whom the concession-granting authority initially awarded the concession contract, in one of the following cases:
1° In application of a review clause or an option defined in article R. 3135-1;
2° In the case of a transfer of the concession contract, following restructuring operations by the initial concessionaire. The new concessionaire must prove that it has the economic, financial, technical and professional capacity initially set by the concession-granting authority. This transfer may not be carried out with the aim of removing the concession contract from the obligations of advertising and competitive tendering.

1° En application d’une clause de réexamen ou d’une option définie à l’article R. 3135-1 ;
2° Dans le cas d’une cession du contrat de concession, à la suite d’opérations de restructuration du concessionnaire initial.
