18. Selection of a tender: The applicant must state the reasons for a decision to choose one of the tenders studied for the purposes of awarding a contract for the lease of a building and the decision must be recorded in a resolution of its board of directors. A copy of the resolution shall be sent to the regional council in question and to the Minister on request.

An applicant may not, for the purposes of awarding a contract for the lease of a building, accept a tender other than the lowest complying with the conditions, unless for serious reasons stated in the resolution of its board of directors it justifies the choice of another tenderer in compliance with the conditions.

In all cases, the acceptance of a tender by the applicant shall be subject to the approval of the regional council in question in the case of a public institution or the approval of the Minister in the case of a regional council.

Confirmation in writing of the approval required must be obtained by the applicant before signing the contract for the lease of a building.
