30In principle, a substantial amendment of a contract after it has been awarded cannot be effected by direct agreement between the contracting authority and the successful tenderer, but must give rise to a new award procedure for the contract so amended (see, by analogy, judgment of 13 April 2010, Wall, C‑91/08, EU:C:2010:182, paragraph 42). The position would be otherwise only if that amendment had been provided for by the terms of the original contract (see, to that effect, judgment of 19 June 2008, pressetext Nachrichtenagentur, C‑454/06, EU:C:2008:351, paragraphs 37, 40, 60, 68 and 69).
