énergie et carburants – Contrat gré à gré entre les communes et les fournisseurs d'énergie

This written question concerns the procurement of energy and fuel by French municipalities from suppliers. It seeks clarification on the rules governing direct contracts, often referred to as 'gré à gré' contracts, which allow for negotiated agreements outside of standard public tender processes. The question likely aims to understand the conditions under which municipalities can enter into such direct energy contracts, potentially impacting local government budgets and energy security for public services.
