Procurement: right to revise contract prices in case of renewal

  • 30/06/2020

The Council of State, section V, with sentence of 16 June 2020 n. 3874, established that in the event that the contractor expresses his will to renew the contractual relationship, it is in re ipsa that the same accepts the new determination of the price and will not be entitled to its price review, which instead is due in the event that the mere time delay of the end of the service has been agreed. The revision of the prices of the contracts applies, in fact, only to the contractual extensions, as provided for in the tender documents and subject to consent "upstream", but not also to the acts subsequent to the original contract with which, through specific manifestations of will, separate, new and independent legal relationships have been initiated between the parties, albeit of identical content to the original as regards the remuneration of the service, without any proposal to change the fee.
