Erring contractors face blacklisting, non-payment

Project slowdowns could lead to blacklistings and non-payment for companies awarded government deals, the Department of Transportation (DOTr) department warned

“Upon the instruction of the President, the DOTr, through Undersecretary for Legal Affairs and Procurement Reinier Paul Yebra, immediately issued a memorandum to stipulate in government contracts that a work slippage of more than thirty (30) days would result in non-payment, cancellation of contract, blacklisting of the erring contractor and the engagement of another contractor to finish the project,” the department said in a statement.
