37.—(1) A contracting entity must take appropriate measures to prevent, identify and remedy a conflict of interest arising in the conduct of the procurement for the award of a concession contract so as to avoid any distortion of competition and to ensure equal treatment of all economic operators.

(3) Without prejudice to the generality thereof, reference to “conflicts of interest” in paragraph (1) includes any situation where a relevant staff member has, directly or indirectly, a financial, economic or other personal interest which might be perceived to compromise their impartiality and independence in the context of the procurement for the award of a concession contract.
(4) In paragraph (3), “relevant staff member” means a contracting entity staff member or staff member of a procurement service provider acting on behalf of the contracting entity, who is involved in the conduct of the procurement for the award of concession contract or may influence the outcome of that procurement.
