Bus/Financial - Law: Contract(s) / contract
French term or phrase: entrées étatiques
Conditions générales
Pour l'exécution du présent marché, conformément aux dispositions de l'article 16 du CAC « Armement » (hors code des Marchés Publics), l'État pourra mettre à disposition des cotraitants les entrées étatiques (matériels, documents et fichiers informatiques) qui en cours d'exécution du marché s’avéreraient nécessaires et seraient précisés par ordre de service, signé par l’Autorité Contractante (autorité signataire du marché ou son représentant).

'State entries' means nothing to me. So far, I have translated it as 'information provided by the State' but this is too cumbersome.

Explanation:
rather than "input" or "input materials", although very close in meaning. Resources encompass data, material, facilities, etc.

neutral  AllegroTrans: how does "data" encompass "matériels" (which might mean hardware or equipment for example)?

Explanation:
A term which encompasses "matériels, documents et fichiers informatiques" is needed - "data" is too restrictive

state inputs


Explanation:
I have recently translated official tender documents where some items were supplied by the customer (this could be where the materiels come in). Perhaps /entrees/ is being extended, as inputs often is in English, to cover wider range of meaning.

neutral  nweatherdon: I do not disagree, but I propose an alternative. In the case of data and reports, "official" is important, whereas w.r.t. materials or other support, "state" is 100% OK. In both cases, presumably it is "official" as this would be documented in the project

official inputs


Explanation:
It could be data. It could be access to an office to do the work in or access to a computer licensed for software being used for a project. It could be access to people with relevant information which is most easily accessed in the context of a given project by meeting with them. It could be access to previous research, whether internal or publicly available.

Most likely it's data and reports. But I think this suggestion is sufficiently ambiguous, while the info in the brackets adds the most likely types of inputs which would be relevant for the project.

Explanation:
The difficulty here is finding a succinct translation which refers to the objects (entrées) which are a mixture of elements. E.g. stored information (or data) and objects which are not necessarily held electronically (materiéls & documents). Therefore, the term "data" is not relevant. It needs a broader term. "Files" can be understood to mean information stored electronically, as well as collections of hard copies and other sundry items.

neutral  AllegroTrans: "Files" is much too restrictive if "equipment" is implied by "matériels"
