Proceedings for a Debt Arising from Non-Payment for Work Carried Out Outside the Contract

In public procurement contracts the contractor's responsibility is as a rule limited to the works stated in the contract. Where situations that could not be foreseen arise by reason of the nature of the work, Article 24 of Public Procurement Contracts Law No. 4735 permits an increase in the scope of work at the rates laid down, provided the additional work remains within the project underlying the contract and cannot technically or economically be separated from the main work. Having work carried out otherwise is not permissible.
