Legal Usage of Attribute to in English

An European Commission document offers the following explanation about the misused of Attribute to:If you attribute something to someone, you are saying that he is thought to have made it/produced it. For example, ‘this painting was attributed to Constable’ means that he was thought to have painted it, not that someone gave it to him. You can also attribute something to a cause (‘The EIB attributes this relative underperformance … to the financial crisis’). You cannot, however, attribute aid, compensation, contracts or licences.

Example

‘The contracting authority was obliged to attribute a service contract exceeding the value of 236 000 euro using the proper tendering procedures.’
