French translation:Entreprise Externe or Société Tierce

Explanation:
To native EN ears, "business concern" sounds like an old-fashioned way of saying "company." Definition: "a commercial or industrial enterprise and the people who constitute it."
https://www.thefreedictionary.com/business concern

An "outside" concern is a company that isn't part of or associated with the company you're talking about. It's not a subsidiary, parent or affiliate, for instance. It's like "un tiers" or "une tierce personne," except that it's specifically a business that's third party to the business that you're talking about.

Note that you should retain the capitalization of the original, because this is a defined term in the contract. Defined terms are capitalized so that the person reading the contract knows that they mean something very specific in this contract, and that they are defined in the definitions section.
