1. Context and purpose of the call for tenders, definitions
1.1. Context and legislative and regulatory references

This call for tenders has been drawn up in application of Section 3 of Chapter 1 of Title 1 of Book
III of the legislative part of the Energy Code, and of Section 2 of Chapter 1 of Title 1 of Book III
of the regulatory part of the Energy Code.
1.2. Subject of the call for tenders

This call for tenders concerns the construction and operation of electricity production facilities
located in mainland France that use mechanical wind energy. Pursuant to Article L. 311-10 of the
Energy Code, any natural or legal person may participate in this call for tenders.
By virtue of 2° of Article L. 311-12 of the Energy Code, the Candidates selected and designated
by the Minister for Energy benefit from a contract for additional remuneration for the electricity
produced, drawn up in accordance with the provisions of Articles L. 311-13-2 to L. 311-13-4 of
the Energy Code and the terms and conditions specified in Section 7 of these specifications.
The fact that a Candidate is selected as part of this call for tenders does not in any way prejudge
the successful completion of the administrative procedures that it is responsible for carrying out, or
the conditions of use of the public electricity networks.
The costs of connection are borne by the Candidate selected. Applicants are encouraged to submit
an early connection request to the relevant network operator before submitting their application, so
that they can receive a connection proposal before the application is completed. This proposal will
give them an estimate of the cost of connecting their project.
The submission of a tender implies an undertaking by the Candidate to comply with all the
obligations of all kinds set out in these specifications if its tender is selected.
1.2.1. Eligible installations

Facilities that are not eligible for a purchase contract issued in application of an order mentioned in
article R. 314-12 of the Energy Code are eligible for this call for tenders.
Facilities are also eligible if, in accordance with the Order of 13 December 2016 setting the
conditions for additional remuneration for electricity produced by electricity generation facilities
using mechanical wind energy, they have a request for an additional remuneration contract
declared complete by EDF or an additional remuneration contract signed in advance that has not
yet taken effect: the characteristics of the Facility mentioned in the Applicant's offer (in particular
power and/or number of masts) may differ from the characteristics mentioned in the
aforementioned contract application or contract signed in advance.
6/55
1.2.2. Application periods, volumes called and deadline for submission of tenders
The cumulative power demand is divided into ten (10) application periods, as follows:
Tender submission period Cumulative power
From : To : demand (MW)
(Deadline for submission of tenders)
1èreperiod 15 November 2021 26 November 2021 at 2pm 700
2ème period 1er April 2022 15 April 2022 at 2pm 925
3ème period 2022 (to be specified) 2022 (to be specified) 925
For the 1ère period, if the number of eligible projects exceeds 700 MW, the volume called may be
increased up to 925 MW.
For each period, the last bid selected - the last in the case of tied Bidders - may result in the
cumulative Power Demand being exceeded.
For a given period, in the light of the results, and in particular the competitiveness of the bids
submitted, the Minister responsible for energy may decide to revise the Cumulative Power
Demand upwards or downwards for that period, after the initial examination of the bids by CRE.
If a bid is submitted for several periods and is declared the winner for a given period, the
Candidate must inform CRE so that the bid is not examined for a subsequent period.
If a tender is designated as the winner in more than one call for tenders, the designation that occurs
first in chronological order is retained. If several designations are made on the same day, only the
one corresponding to the call for tenders with the earliest closing date is retained. The other
nominations are withdrawn.
1.3. Examination of the call for tenders, role of the CRE

Ref: articles R. 311-14 to R. 311-25 of the Energy Code
The Commission de régulation de l'énergie (CRE) is responsible f o r examining this call for
tenders.
1.3.1. Provision of specifications

The present book of specifications is available at on the website
website of the CRE WEBSITE (http://www.cre.fr/documents/appels-d-offres).
Between two periods, any changes to the
7/55
of the specifications will be made known by publication on the CRE website and a corrective
notice in the Official Journal of the European Union (OJEU).
In addition, pursuant to article R. 311-27-12 of the Energy Code, the Minister responsible for
energy may, after the successful candidates have been designated, make non-substantial
amendments to the specifications, with a view to adapting or simplifying their content. These
amended specifications automatically apply to any successful candidate who requests them from
the Minister responsible for energy.
1.3.2. Questions relating to this call for tenders

Ref: article R. 311-18 of the Energy Code.
For each bidding period, questions relating to this call for tenders must be sent to the CRE website
(http://www.cre.fr/documents/appels-d-offres), no later than six weeks before the opening date of
the bidding period.
In order to guarantee Candidates equal access to information, the questions and answers provided
by the Directorate General for Energy and Climate will be made public no later than six weeks
before the Deadline for submitting bids on the CRE website (http://www.cre.fr/documents/appels-
d-offers), subject to respect for the secrets protected by law.
1.3.3. Receipt and classification of tenders

Ref: articles R. 311-17 and R. 311-19 of the Energy Code.
CRE sets up an online application site (see 3.1). It will ensure that it is not possible to submit an
application after the deadline for submitting bids, or for a file in which one of the documents
listed in 3.3 is missing. The procedures for electronic submission are set out in Appendix 4. It
will acknowledge receipt to the Candidate, by electronic means, of the submission of each
application file.
CRE sets up an automated ranking system for the bids submitted. It ranks the bids
received in descending order of score.
The last bid selected - or the last bids if there is a tie - may result in the cumulative Power Demand being
exceeded.
1.3.4. Examination of bids

Within a period of one month from the Deadline for submission of bids, CRE will check the
compatibility of the bids with regard to the eligibility conditions in chapter 2 and the presence and
conformity of the bid documents with regard to the requirements in paragraph 3.3. It carries out
these checks in descending order of the scores calculated on the basis of the information provided
by the Applicant in the application form. In the event of a tie, all eligible projects with the same
score will be ranked equally. Bids whose score is too low to be considered may not be analysed by
CRE.
8/55
The offers include :
- the application file is strictly identical to another tender,
- the application file is empty,
- the score is too low to be considered will not be
examined by CRE.
CRE also examines any other dossier at the request of the Minister for Energy.
By submitting a bid in response to the call for tenders, the applicant agrees to be contacted again at
a later date for the purpose of analysing the support scheme, whether or not he or she is one of the
successful applicants.
1.3.5. Transmission of the results of the investigation by CRE

Ref: article R. 311-22 of the Energy Code
Within one (1) month of the deadline for submitting bids, CRE sends the Minister in charge of
energy the information mentioned in article R. 311-22 of the Energy Code, in particular the list of
bids it proposes to accept and the list of bids eliminated with the reason(s), in a format compatible
with the Ministry's tool for monitoring successful bidders.
1.3.6. Information for candidates

In accordance with article R. 311-23 of the Energy Code, the Minister for Energy designates the
successful candidates and notifies all other candidates that their bids have been rejected. If the
project is not selected as the winner of the call for tenders, the letter stating that the project has not
been designated will result in the return of the guarantee.
Candidates are informed of the results of the tender procedure:
- Individually, via the Ministry of Ecological Transition's project monitoring platform.
Notification is sent by [email protected] to the e-mail address entered in the
application form.
- By publishing the list of successful candidates on the Ministry's website. If this publication
is not followed within 48 hours by the individual message mentioned above, the candidate
may contact [email protected].
A non-confidential version of the tender summary report is published by CRE in accordance with
article R. 311-22 of the Energy Code.
By submitting a bid in response to the call for tenders, the applicant agrees to be contacted again at
a later date for the purpose of analysing the support scheme, whether or not he or she is one of the

Compliance with the eligibility conditions will be verified by the inspection body before the
certificate of conformity referred to in 6.5 is issued.
2.1. Compliance with the purpose of the call for tenders

Only facilities that comply with the terms of the invitation to tender (see 1.2) may compete. If a
tender does not comply with these provisions, it will be eliminated.
2.2. Conditions of authorisation

Only Facilities that have obtained authorisation u n d e r Article
L. 512-1 of the Environment Code or equivalent to authorisation under the same article. This
authorisation is one of the documents to be included in the application (see 3.3.4).
12/55
2.3. No condition of non-completion or exclusion
As a consequence of the commitment to carry out its Installation in the event of selection (see 6.2),
only those bids may compete which are not subject to any implicit or explicit condition of non-
completion or exclusion. In the event that several bids are incompatible with each other, CRE will
only select the bid or bids with the highest scores.
2.4. Installation news

Only new Installations may compete. An installation is considered to be new when work on it
begins after the deadline for submitting bids, with the exception of work to connect it to the grid,
and the main components of the Installation are new on the day it is commissioned.
By way of derogation, for the producers referred to in the second paragraph of 1.2.1, a Facility is
considered to be new when the start of the work linked to the project is subsequent to the complete
application for a contract made under the Order of 13 December 2016 setting the conditions for
additional remuneration for electricity produced by electricity production facilities using
mechanical wind energy, or where applicable subsequent to the application for a purchase contract
referred to in 2° of Article 2 of the said Order and the main components of the Facility are new on
the day it is commissioned.
Items that have never been used before or items that have been refurbished are considered new.
Proof of reconditioning is issued by the company that reconditioned the components and must
cover the duration of the remuneration supplement contract.
Facilities being renewed are considered new if construction work began after the deadline for
submission of bids and the main components of the Facility are new on the day it is
commissioned, in accordance with the previous paragraph.
For the application of this paragraph, the production of electricity and its possible remuneration, as
part of the phases prior to the coming into effect of the Facility's remuneration supplement
contract, does not call into question the novelty of the Facility. The said phases may not exceed a
period of 3 months from the first injection; this period may be extended upon presentation of proof
in the event of a need revealed during the commissioning phase by the tests or upon a duly
justified request to the Minister responsible for energy.
2.5. Operation by the Candidate

The Applicant must be the Producer of the Generation Facility. It may not indicate in its bid
that another company will be the Producer of the Production Facility if the project is selected.
The possibilities and procedures for changing the Producer and its shareholding are indicated
in 5.3 and 5.4. In the event of a change of Producer, the new Producer is bound by the content
of the bid submitted and by the commitments and requirements of these specifications. If the
Producer changes after the contract has been signed, an amendment
13/55
is concluded, and the terms and conditions of the contract apply to the new Producer for the
remaining duration of the contract.
2.6. Principle of non-cumulation of aid

The Producer undertakes that the installation will not receive support f r o m other local, regional,
national or European Union schemes.
2.7. Company in difficulty

The Applicant undertakes not to be a firm in difficulty within the meaning of the Guidelines on
State aid for rescuing and restructuring firms in difficulty, other than financial institutions, in force
at the time the bid is submitted.
2.8. Deggendorf rule

The Applicant undertakes not to be subject to an injunction to recover State aid following a
previous decision by the European Commission declaring aid to be illegal and incompatible with
the common market.
2.9. Specific conditions

Only facilities with a simplified carbon assessment of less than 1,200 kgCO2/kW are eligible.
Wind turbines installed on buildings are not eligible.
2.10. Facilities that have already been named winners

Only Installations that have not already been designated as winners for another period or another
call for tenders, or Installations that have attached to their application either proof of the
withdrawal, cancellation or non-obtaining of an authorisation as indicated in 6.2, or a letter of
agreement from the Minister responsible for energy releasing them from their obligation to build
the installation in application of 6.2, may apply.
If the Candidate submits a bid relating to the same project submitted under one or more previous
periods or a previous call for tenders, the Candidate must indicate this in the application form:
period concerned, for each previous period concerned: envelope number, name of the bid, name of
the call for tenders, period number.
2.11. Competitive offers

If the cumulative power of compliant bids is less than or equal to the power demand, the lowest-
rated compliant bids are eliminated until the volume of eliminated bids is :
• Greater than or equal to 5% of the power of compliant bids when the volume of compliant
bids is greater than or equal to 95% of the power demand;
14/55
• Greater than or equal to x% of the power of compliant offers when the volume of
compliant offers is greater than or equal to 100-x% of the power demand, with x varying
linearly between 5% and 20% ;
• Greater than or equal to 20% of the power of compliant bids when the volume of compliant
bids is less than or equal to 80% of the power demand.

5. Procedures following designation of the winners
5.1. Financial guarantees

The duration of the guarantee must cover the project from 3 months after the deadline for
submitting tenders for the period in question or the date on which the successful tenderers are
selected and until 6 months after the date of Completion of the installation (date on which the
certificate of conformity is provided in accordance with the provisions of Chapter 6) or be
renewed regularly in order to ensure such temporal coverage. If the project owner opts for a
regularly renewed guarantee, each renewal must take place no later than one month before the
expiry of the current guarantee. If the guarantee is not renewed in time, the State may withdraw
the current guarantee.
If the candidate is not a winner, the guarantee is automatically cancelled.
The warranty is discharged within two months of the date of completion of the installation.
The amount of the guarantee is reduced, where applicable and within the limit of the total
amount of the guarantee, cumulatively:

remained unsuccessful by the date on which the certificate of conformity is provided;
-the amount of financial penalties for which a suspension has been requested.
If the project is abandoned, the State will draw down the full amount of the financial
guarantee, except in cases where the guarantee is released in accordance with the provisions of
Chapter 6. Neither the existence nor the call-up of the guarantee limits the possibility of
recourse to the penalties set out in 7.8.
If the financial guarantee takes the form of a deposit as mentioned in 3.3.3, this will be done
on production of the declaration of deposit mentioning the references of the invitation to
tender for which the sum is being deposited; signed by a person authorised to commit the
company, the identity document of the signatory, the K-Bis extract of the applicant, the
specifications ; The request must be received 10 working days before the deadline for
24/55
submission of tenders. The Caisse des dépôts et consignations will issue a receipt which will
serve as proof that the financial guarantee has been lodged.

6. Obligations of the Candidate after selection of its offer

The submission of a tender implies an undertaking by the Candidate to comply with all the
obligations of all kinds set out in these specifications if its tender is selected.
6.1. Submitting the connection request

If its project is selected and if it has not already done so, the Respondent whose bid has been
selected must submit its connection request within three (3) months of the Designation Date.
6.2. Installation
The Candidate whose bid has been accepted will carry out the Installation in accordance with the
conditions set out in these specifications and in accordance with the information in the application
file (the possibilities and procedures for modification are indicated in 5.2).
By way of exception, the Candidate is released from this obligation:
• in the event of withdrawal of the environmental authorisation by the competent authority or
cancellation of this authorisation following litigation. This does not apply to ex gratia
withdrawals at the request of the applicant.
28/55
• if any other administrative authorisation or exemption required for the project is not
obtained or is withdrawn.
In this case, it informs the Préfet, enclosing supporting documents. The financial guarantee is then
released.
The Applicant may also be released from this obligation at the discretion of the Minister
responsible for energy, following a duly justified request. The Minister may attach conditions to
his agreement or deduct part of the financial guarantee. Neither the Minister's agreement, nor the
conditions imposed, nor the deduction of the financial guarantee limit the State's right to apply the
penalties set out in 7.8.
6.3. Timetable for completion

The Respondent whose bid has been accepted undertakes to ensure that its Installation is
completed before a deadline defined by the later of the following two dates:
- thirty-six (36) months from the Designation Date.
- two months from the completion of the connection work, provided that the Producer has
taken all steps in compliance with the requirements of the System Operator to ensure that
the connection work is completed within the deadline. In this case, the certificate of
compliance must be sent to the co-contractor within 2 months of completion of the
connection work, as evidenced by the date of the invoice for the balance to be paid by the
Producer for its contribution to the cost of the connection.
If this period is exceeded, the contract term referred to in 7.1 is reduced by the period by which it is
exceeded.
Exceptions to the Completion deadline are possible, however, in cases where administrative
disputes concerning any administrative authorisation required for the project have the effect of
delaying the construction of the facility or its commissioning. In such cases, an additional period
equal to the period between the date of the initial appeal and the date of the final decision, as
evidenced by the decision having the force of res judicata, is granted.
Such delays are deemed to be authorised provided that they can be justified to the purchaser.
Additional periods may be granted by the Préfet, at its discretion, in the event of an unforeseeable
event on the Designation Date, outside the Producer's control, and duly justified.
6.4. Assessing local content

In order to obtain the certificate of conformity referred to in 6.5, the candidate whose bid has
been selected must submit an assessment of the local content of its project. This must be in the

subject of public support under this call for tenders, the relevant specific provisions of the control
framework must be complied with.
In the event of reservations by the approved body, the Applicant undertakes to take action to
remove these reservations and undertakes to reappoint the approved body(ies) until the certificate
of conformity is obtained.
This certificate is also sent to the Prefect, with a view to obtaining the return of the financial
performance bond (see 5.1).
6.5.1. Carbon footprint
Compliance with this criterion (compliance with the carbon footprint ceiling) is verified when the
certificate of conformity is issued, on the basis of a simplified carbon assessment. The carbon
assessment is attached to the certificate.
This assessment is based on a Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) carried out in accordance with ISO
14044:2006 (or later) or on the methodology of the Association Bilan Carbone - Bilan Carbone
V8 (or later) carried out in accordance with ISO 14064-1:2018 (or later).
This LCA is carried out or validated by a body that is independent of the Applicant and the
Turbine Batch supplier or, failing this, by a person providing proof of expertise or training in the
ISO 14044:2006 standard (or later). Proof or a certificate attesting to the person's training in ISO

assessment.
7. Contract for additional remuneration

Subject to compliance with the provisions of these specifications, EDF is required to enter into a
remuneration supplement contract with the successful bidder, setting out the conditions of the
specifications, the characteristics of the bid submitted (installed capacity and reference price) and
the terms and conditions of the contract.
32/55
provisions of sub-section 3 of section 2 of chapter I of title I of book III of the energy code
(regulatory part).
To this end, the Producer sends a contract request to EDF. EDF examines the request and sends
the Producer the draft contract within three (3) months. This contract is concluded within six (6)
months of the request being made by the successful bidder.
It should be noted that, in accordance with the last paragraph of Article R. 311-27-6 of the Energy
Code, in order to benefit from the remuneration supplement, the Applicant waives the right to obtain
guarantees of origin for the electricity produced by the Facility throughout the term of the contract.

The contract is concluded for the Facility for a period of twenty (20) years, reduced, where
applicable, by the reduction provided for in 6.3. The Facility may cease operating after the
contract has expired.
7.2. Calculation of additional remuneration

The remuneration supplement is defined for a calendar year as follows:
12
CR= ∑ 𝐸𝑖(𝑇 - 𝑀0𝑖)
i=1
Formula in which :
- CR is the amount of additional pay in € ;
- index i represents a calendar month ;
- Ei is the sum, over the hours with a positive or zero spot price for delivery the following
day on the French organised electricity market platform, of the volumes of electricity allocated
by the System Operator, where applicable by a loss calculation formula or a settlement
agreement, to the balance perimeter designated by the Producer for the output of his Facility
over month i, excluding corrections, in the calculation of the perimeter imbalance in application
of the rules mentioned in Article L. 321-14, linked, where applicable, to the Facility's
participation in the services required for the operation of the network or the balancing
mechanism. These volumes are net of consumption by auxiliaries required for the operation of
the Facility during the production period and of electricity consumed by the producer himself
(within the meaning of Article L. 315-1 of the Energy Code), provided that proof of such
consumption can be provided and within the limit of an annual self-consumption rate of 10%,
calculated as the ratio of auxiliary consumption to total annual production.
- T is the reference price of electricity indicated in euros per megawatt-hour (€/MWh): it is
determined by the Candidate when submitting its bid (reference price T indicated in C of the
33/55
application form, indicated in €/MWh to a maximum of two decimal places). It is indexed in
accordance with the terms of 7.4.
- M0i, expressed in €/MWh, referred to in article R. 314-38 is the reference market price for
month i, defined as the average over the calendar month of positive and zero spot prices for
delivery the following day, recorded on the French organised electricity market platform,
weighted on an hourly basis by the production of all electricity production facilities using
mechanical wind energy located on continental metropolitan territory.
7.3. Treatment of negative prices

Over a calendar year, beyond the first 20 hours, whether consecutive or not :
- strictly negative spot prices for next-day delivery recorded on the EPEX Spot SE power
exchange for the France zone, and
- during which the Installation did not produce,
the additional remuneration is increased by the following bonus :
Negative price premium = 0.35.Pmax. T . nnegativeprices

Formula in which :
- T is the reference electricity price in €/MWh referred to in 7.2
- Pmax is the installed capacity of the plant
- prices is the number of hours during which spot prices were strictly negative and
nnegative
during which the installation did not produce, beyond the first 20 hours of negative prices.
These are the strictly negative "spot" periods of the calendar year during which the installation did not
produce.
7.4. Reference price indexation

The reference price T is indexed for the entire term of the contract. Indexation takes place on each
anniversary of the date on which the contract comes into effect by applying the coefficient L defined
below:
ICHTrev-TS1 FM0ABE0000
L = 0.7 +0.15 + 0.15
ICHTrev-TS10 FM0ABE00000
Formula in which :
- (i) ICHTrev-TS1 is the latest definitive value known at the first of January of each year of
the revised hourly labour cost index (all employees) in the mechanical and electrical
industries;
- (ii) FM0ABE0000 is the last known definitive value at the first of January of each year of
the producer price index for French industry for the French market as a whole;
34/55
- (iii) ICHTrev-TS10 and FM0ABE00000 are the latest definitive values of the ICHTrev-TS1 and
FM0ABE0000 indices known at 1er January preceding the date on which the remuneration
supplement contract takes effect.
7.5. Terms of payment of additional remuneration
7.5.1. Frequency
Remuneration is paid monthly. If the network operators adjust the Facility's production, an
adjustment is made at the end of each calendar year.
7.5.2. Billing and payment - role of EDF and CRE

Within five working days of the end of each month, CRE draws up and publishes a summary of
the negative price hours recorded over the past month on the French organised market for
delivery the following day.
Within four weeks of the end of each month, CRE determines and publishes the reference price
M0i .
On the basis of the information published by CRE and the information sent by EDF in accordance
with article R. 311-27-7 of the Energy Code, the Producer who has signed a remuneration
supplement contract calculates and invoices EDF for the monthly energy premium. If the Producer
receives a corrected monthly production value Ei as a result of an error, it invoices EDF for the
corresponding adjustment.
Invoices are paid within 30 days of their date of receipt by EDF. Any sums paid after this
deadline will be subject to interest at the legal rate defined in article L. 441-6 of the French
Commercial Code.
In cases where the monthly premium is negative or the adjustment is negative, the Producer is
liable for this sum. This amount is paid by the Producer to EDF in the form of a credit note
accompanied by the corresponding payment.
7.5.3. Buyer of last resort

By way of exception, in accordance with article R. 311-27-8 of the Energy Code and when the
purchaser of last resort is designated by the Minister for Energy in application of article R. 314-51
of the Energy Code, the successful bidder may enter into a purchase contract for the electricity
produced with this purchaser in the cases and under the conditions defined in article R. 314-52 of
the Energy Code.
The feed-in tariff for electricity generated under this article is: Tariff = 0.8.
Etot .T
Formula in which :
35/55
- T is the reference price of electricity in euros per megawatt-hour (€/MWh): this is determined
by the Respondent when it submits its offer (reference price T indicated in C of the
Application Form, given in €/MWh to a maximum of two decimal places). It is indexed in
accordance with the terms of the -.
- Etot is the sum of the volumes of electricity allocated by the System Operator, where
applicable via a formula for calculating losses or a settlement agreement, to the balance
perimeter designated by the Producer for the production of his Facility, excluding corrections,
in the calculation of the perimeter imbalance in application of the rules mentioned in article L.
321-14, linked where applicable to the Facility's participation in the services necessary for the
operation of the network or to the balancing mechanism. These volumes are net of
consumption by the auxiliaries needed to operate the Facility during the production period
and of electricity that the producer consumes himself (as defined in article L. 315-1 of the
Energy Code), provided that he can prove this consumption and within the limit of an annual
self-consumption rate of 10%.
7.6. Procedures for changing the Producer and terminating the contract at the Producer's initiative
7.6.1. Change of Producer

In the event of a change of Producer at a Facility for which the Producer benefits from the
contract (see 5.3), the terms and conditions of the existing contract for this Facility shall apply to
the new Producer for the remaining duration of the contract. An amendment is signed to this
effect.
7.6.2. Termination at the Producer's initiative

The contract may be terminated at the Producer's initiative. In this case, in accordance with article
R. 311-27-3 of the Energy Code, termination of the Remuneration Supplement Contract at the
Producer's initiative shall give rise to compensation equal to the updated sums received and paid
to the Producer under the Remuneration Supplement Contract from the Effective Date of the
Contract until the date of termination, less, where applicable, the amounts paid by the Producer to
the Co-contractor over this same period, without this leading to the payment of any
reimbursement by the State or the Co-contractor.
7.7. Controls
The Producer is subject to the provisions o f article L. 311-13-5 of the Energy Code. At the
request of the Prefect, the Producer will carry out the checks mentioned in the said article.
7.8. Penalties
Fraudulent declarations will result in the automatic termination of the contract for the remainder of
its term, without compensation for the Producer, and the reimbursement of any sums unduly
received.
Pursuant to Article R. 314-26 of the Energy Code, any failure by the Successful Candidate to comply with
36/55
the requirements and obligations set out in the specifications, including failure to comply with the terms
and conditions, shall be deemed to constitute a breach of contract.
37/55
of eligibility after a tender has been selected, the decision designating him as the successful
tenderer may be withdrawn.
Any breach by the Candidate selected may result in the suspension or termination of the contract
and the reimbursement of sums received in application of article L. 311-14 and the penalties
provided for in article L. 311-15 of the Energy Code.

Appendix 4: Procedures for submitting a bid by electronic means
Applicants must submit their bids before the deadline for the corresponding application period on
the online application platform accessible from the page dedicated to this call for tenders on the
CRE website.
It is up to the candidate to submit his offer in the appropriate section.
If you have any technical problems using the platform, please contact technical support on 0 892
23 21 20 or by e-mail at [email protected].
Electronic signature
If the tender is submitted via the online application platform, the documents must be signed
electronically. The procedures are explained below.
An electronic certificate is obtained from a certification authority, whose job is to verify the
identity of the applicant (name, position, company name, etc.) before issuing two complementary
items: a smart card or USB key containing a private key, which is unique to the holder and can
never be seen by a third party; a certificate containing the public key corresponding to the private
key, as well as identity information about the holder and validity dates. The certification authority
from which the applicant has requested a certificate will commit itself to the information
provided. It will update the certificate if the personal data changes, or if the certification tool is
revoked.
The applicant must therefore contact a certification authority to obtain a signature certificate.
The certificate must comply with the Référentiel Général de Sécurité (RGS). PRIS V1 reference
certificates are no longer accepted.
Candidates are invited to consult the list of RGS-compliant certificate categories at the following
addresses:
- http://references.modernisation.gouv.fr/liste-des-offres-référencées - French trusted list

- http://eutsl.3xasecurity.com/tools/ - European trusted lists (including French lists accepted
by the platform).
IMPORTANT: The Order of 15 June 2012 on electronic signatures in public procurement came
into force on 1er October 2012. In this context, the submission platform has been brought into
compliance with the new regulations. RGS-compliant signature certificates are accepted (RGS
levels ** and ***). The reference signature formats accepted are PAdES, CAdES and XAdES.
49/55
If the candidate already has a certificate
Applicants are invited to check that their certificate complies with the regulations set out above.
If this is not the case, they are invited to contact the certification authority that issued their
electronic certificate in order to renew it.
CAUTION: When you sign, the deposit platform verifies the entire certificate. It is therefore
essential to install the certification authority's chain of trust (or root certificate) in addition to the
certificate. This can be downloaded from the website of the certification authority chosen by the
applicant.
Administrative form
When submitting their offer on the online application platform, candidates must complete an
online administrative form in the terms provided by the platform.
The administrative form completed online does not replace the application form which must
be attached to the application file.
The application form in spreadsheet format (available on the CRE website) must be completed and
attached to the application file along with the other documents.
Where the same information is requested via the platform and in the application form, the same
terms must be used in the reply.
Mandatory documents - Optional documents
The platform enables the documents posted online to be associated with the compulsory or
optional documents provided for in the specifications. In particular, the format specified in the
specifications for each of the documents must be respected in order to be able to make this
association.
To finalise the submission of a tender, at least one document must be associated with each of the
mandatory documents.
Several documents may be associated with each of the items requested.
Documents may be sent without being associated.

Appendix 8: Assessment of local content
The Candidate whose bid is selected is responsible for completing the table below. They may, if they
wish, include this table in their subcontracts. Each subcontractor then calculates its own local French and
European content and sends it to the project leader.
The process is iterative and ends after the rank subcontractors indicated in the table below In the case of a
supplier located in a country outside the European Economic Area in rank 1 or 2, the process ends for the
lot or sub-lot covered by this supplier, the applicant will indicate a local French and European content of
0%. If necessary, the project leader may revise this value if he is aware of the supplier's subcontracting
chain, providing justification in the comments.
The total local content of the project is calculated by weighting the different percentages of local content
by their financial weight in the project.
