Competitive dialogue Defined in the article 36 of the French code of procurement contracts, the competitive dialogue is the procedure by which “ the contracting authority leads a dialogue with the candidates allowed to participate in it to define or develop one or several solutions able to answer his needs and on the basis of which or whom participants in the dialogue will be invited to put to hand an offer. “ The competitive dialogue is reserved for the complex markets. The complexity is defined as the case where the contracting authority is not able to define the technical means which answers his needs, or to establish the legal or financial assembly of the project. This procedure is however considered as difficult to operate, longer than the others, and stays as a consequence, little used.

The competition  The competition is defined in the article 38 of the French code of procurement contracts as the procedure by which the contracting authority chooses, after using a competition procedure and receiving a jury opinion, " a plan or a project, in the field of the : regional development, the town planning, the architecture and the engineering, or of the data treatments, before attributing to one of the competition laureates a market. " The procedure of the competition, in particular the role of the jury, are described in the article 70 of the same code.  The candidates receive allowance. Paid to all the competitors, the allowance is deduced from the amount of the market for the assignee, who is normally paid by the market price.

 The public person, for his/her part, benefits from the technical expertise of a jury, but he stays the decision- maker, on the basis of the report established by the jury. The procedure, which foresees a possible dialogue between the candidates and the jury, as well as a negotiation on elements of the project with the contracting authority, has the advantage to bring to the foreground several adapted propositions, and to discuss elements with the or, if need be, the prize-winner(s).

The procedure by mutual agreement  The code of procurement contracts mentions the purchases of services of research and of development to spread them from its field of application, in the article3 [6 °]. So, the markets of services concerning projects of research and development without direct industrial continuation can be spent by mutual agreement, under two alternative conditions: - If the contracts authority finances only partially the program; or - If he does not acquire the exclusive property of the results of the program.  To note that the markets of studies do not enter this category. The guide of good practices in procurement contracts of February 14th, 2012 concludes that " only establishes a procurement contract subjected to the code, the contract in which the power seller is brought o acquire the completeness of the property of the results of the research program and to insure the completeness of his financing. "

Participating in projects as Partner  A public authority could integrate a collaborative project financed by the EC, the state or another public body as subsidized partner (by submitting an answer to calls to projects for example).
