English brief
Summary
Saudi Arabia’s execution regulations for government procurement outline conditions and processes for adjusting contract prices when tariffs, taxes, or material/service costs change after bid submission. Adjustments require evidence of payment of revised charges, timing alignment with contract terms, and limits such as a 3% cost-change threshold (with possible exceptions). Repricing uses a hierarchical set of sources and a formal process involving consultants and government committees, with defined timelines for review and decision. The regulation preserves the contractor’s right to seek adjustments while enforcing procedural safeguards.
