Law/Patents - Law: Contract(s)
French term or phrase: marché à bordereau de prix
The sentence is: "Le présent marché est un marché à bordereau de prix". The expression "bordereau de prix" usually means "pricelist", but I don't understand how that works in this sentence, as it seems to be describing a kind of contract. Thanks in advance.
