Contracts may evolve during execution.
The co-contractor is asking for services that are not included in the contract, making changes to others, there are delays in executing the contract, I am being subject to penalties…
Legislation and the contract contain rules on dealing with these situations and you may incur costs should you fail to comply.
Prior to performing a service/work not included in the contract, signing an amendment or in the event of a delay, even one which is attributable to other service providers, consult your public procurement lawyer to secure the contract.
