The by-law may prescribe the rules governing the making of contracts that involve an expenditure of at least $25,000 but below the expenditure threshold for a contract that may be awarded only after a public call for tenders under section 95. The rules may vary according to determined categories of contracts. Where such rules are in force, neither the second paragraph of section 93 nor section 94 apply to those contracts.
