Recital 30
(30) In order to foster the involvement of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the public procurement market, contracting authorities should be encouraged to divide contracts into lots, and be obliged to state the reasons for not doing so. Where contracts are divided into lots, contracting authorities may, for instance in order to preserve competition or to ensure security of supply, limit the number of lots for which an economic operator may tender; they may also limit the number of lots that may be awarded to any one tenderer. However, such division into lots may not be performed with the aim of evading procurement procedures laid down by law.
