conducted an exhaustive technical and financial review that included several comparative analyses and budgetary exercises. The work sought to update and adjust the current rates to make them more competitive and aligned with current market conditions, while ensuring the operational sustainability of the services provided. It should be noted that the proposed amendments have been structured to present a revised budget without increasing the total cost, thereby optimizing the allocation of resources and maintaining the required financial balance.
