Julie Barber Jul 11, 2019:
An example would be if you were awarded a Facilities Management contract by says a government body/building. You then provide core services as per your contract and then you fulfil orders as and when the need arises https://www.economie.gouv.fr/files/files/directions_services... That might not be the case here, it would be hard to say from the context. The author might have wanted to use a variety of words.

I'm just curious to know what would be the difference between "commandes acquises" and "marchés attribués"? Any explanation that does not involve some "new/alternative" legal system regarding contracts?
B D Finch Jul 9, 2019:
Not really I think that it's just missing a slash or an "et/ou":

les commandes acquises / marchés attribués depuis la remise de l\'offre technique

les commandes acquises et/ou marchés attribués depuis la remise de l\'offre technique

There would appear to be some reason why the text distinguishes between "commandes" and "marchés". Therefore, I think that the same distinction must be made in translation.
Peer comment(s):

agree Ph_B (X) : Thought of "orders confirmed" - but you're the specialist native speaker. And I was thinking of "contracts awarded" for what follows.

Thanks Philippe. Yes to "contracts awarded".

Thanks Tony
agree Julie Barber : I also think that there is a difference between being awarded the contracts and the actual orders arising from them. The author distinguished between the two here / yes that's what I meant ;-)

Thanks Julie. That is only one of several interpretations, as the orders might be quite separate from any contracts.

(preliminary) orders won

depuis la remise de l'offre technique e.g. elsewhere and 'acquérir reeled in by canvassing' (touting) since the presentation of the technical quote.

marchés attribués > *procurement* contracts awarded.

newly taken contracts / contracts taken since submitting the technical bid

the explanation is there, only the missing punctuation makes it harder to spot:

"les commandes acquises marchés attribués depuis la remise de l'offre technique"
=
les "commandes acquises" SOIT les marchés attribués [à l'entreprise en question] depuis la remise de l'offre technique

this "lettre de confirmation des capacités" is about the capacity of the bidder to fulfil the contract, if allocated to them.

The bidder maybe had enough capacity at the time of submitting the "technical bid" but if the bidder has taken some other contracts after that, the "available capacity" might have been reduced below the threshold - that's the point of this update.


"newly taken contracts" may not be the most usual way of saying it, might also be confusing for the general public, but that expression certainly does exist, and means exactly what it's supposed to mean in this ST.

Similar to "taking new work".
