2013
[EN] Public works procurement regulates two award procedures from within the same criteria: either the price or a variety of different conditions.

A Methodology to Detect the Deviations of the Project s Budget Compared to Market Prices
2015
[EN] The budget of a project reflects the cost of the investment needed to build an infrastructure, install a system or acquire new materials or supplies. A well-formulated budget in accordance with market prices, allows contractors to prepare offers according to their technical, economic and financial characteristics.

Philosophies subsequently used to point out problems and claims during the execution of the project (contradictory prices, delays, etc.) in order to recover some or the entire economic bid carried out during the tendering. In this paper a simple and fast methodology is developed to ch…
