Revisión de Precios en Contratos

Conceptos Clave sobre la Revisión de Precios

• La revisión de precios se puede realizar cuando ha transcurrido un año desde la formalización del contrato y se ha ejecutado al menos el 20% del importe. Los primeros 20% y el importe ejecutado en el primer año quedan excluidos de esta revisión.

• El artículo 103, apartado 2, amplía las condiciones bajo las cuales se puede solicitar una revisión de precios, no limitándose a los cuatro contratos previamente conocidos. Se permite la revisión si la participación del PBL supera el 20%.

• La posibilidad de iniciar la revisión de precios ya no está restringida a un umbral fijo; se pueden considerar otros factores que justifiquen dicha revisión.

• Aunque parece que hay muchas condiciones para la revisión, en realidad son más flexibles y permiten ajustes según las proyecciones contractuales.
