Dr EC (asker) Mar 1, 2012:
It is the whole sentence the rest are just the terms and conditions of the contract
AllegroTrans Feb 29, 2012:
Asker we need the whole sentence, at least, if you want a proper contextual translation
"Passé" can have a few different meanings
Please respond
philgoddard Feb 29, 2012:
Please give the context - the full sentence, plus the ones before and after it.

neutral Martin Cassell : what is "gentelmen"? I suspect you meant to type "gentlemen's"

disagree AllegroTrans : apart from the fact that you have misspelt, this term would not be used in a formal document

alternative to AWARDED, you may use PASSED (if it is legislation), or GRANTED might work, depending on context.

neutral AllegroTrans : what has been awarded here? I cannot see it in asker's text

good point, AT. But as I work in contracts, I immediately defaulted to this. IT is still a valid possibility but depends on the context of this particular text.
neutral philgoddard : Yes, it could be this (meaning that the contract was awarded without competitive tender), but we don't have enough context to be sure.
