Bus/Financial - Construction / Civil Engineering
French term or phrase: sous forme d'assurance
Construction contract

"Après la réception des Travaux, la garantie bancaire pourra être convertie sous forme d’assurance."

Can anyone explain what this means i.e. how is a bank guarantee converted into insurance? Does anyone know the particulars (which would help with the translation).

Thanks in advance.

agree  writeaway: converted into. 100% literal works for once: "être convertie sous forme d’assurance." agree with Phil but all that's needed is to drop the indefinite article. Convert (in)to insurance

agree  philgoddard: But not "an insurance". "An insurance policy/contract".

agree  Nikki Scott-Despaigne: "converted into an insurance policy". As we have seen from another question, the guarantor (guarantee/bond?) can be a reputable bank or insurance c°, i.e. a lending institution, either of which would be capable of providing insurance cover.
