After winning
Deliver on time what you are asked for, invoice through FACe with the three DIR3 codes —accounting office, managing body and processing unit— read from the specifications with their page, and know when you must be paid and how much they owe you if they pay late.
1. You have been proposed as awardee
2. Invoice through FACe
3. When must you be paid?
The administration has 30 days to approve what was delivered and another 30 to pay (art. 198.4 LCSP). If it pays late, it owes late-payment interest at each half-year's rate and €40 in collection costs (Ley 3/2004). For them to accrue, the invoice must be in FACe within 30 days of delivery.
Record all your invoices and guarantees and we tell you how much you are already owed, with the letter to claim it. And for the whole contract, from signing to the guarantee: price revision, penalties, payment deadlines and acceptance.
Late-payment interest rates published in the BOE by the Secretaría General del Tesoro (the ECB's plus 8 points). It is an aid, not legal advice.
