Still the acceptance letter from Chile of a quote given for work to be carried out. I can't see how the words make sense when put together. Any help much appreciated as always.

Thanks Miguel. In the end I went for a combination of your answer and Niki's, via Andy's explanation. Unfortunately I couldn't split the 4 points between you, but yours resembled my solution more closely. Thanks again!

Explanation:
"Perfeccionar" in contracts means to execute/perform the purpose of the contract.

What it's saying is that simply awarding the work to the Service Provider signifies that the contract has been performed.

Sorry,

Looking at it again

"por" = owing to/due to

here

I think!

and it should be

has been completed/perfected/entered into..

So

The administrative contract has been completed///owing to the one-off/unique/single award of the works contract to the Service Provider


Hope this helps you make sense of something ;)
