The Public Procurement Monitoring Office has given a final seven-day deadline to 15 construction companies and suppliers accused of failing to complete government contracts on time and causing delays. Issuing a public notice on Wednesday, the office directed the concerned firms to submit a written clarification with valid justification and supporting evidence explaining why they should not be blacklisted. Earlier, following recommendations from respective public bodies to place them on the blacklist, the office had provided a 30-day period for clarification. However, after receiving no written response within that timeframe, the office issued a renewed seven-day ultimatum through a public notice.
The notice has been published in accordance with Rule 141 (4a) of the Public Procurement Regulations, 2064. Contractors recommended by agencies including Road Division Ilam, Road Division Palpa, and Road Division Lalitpur fall under the scope of clarification. Companies asked to clarify include BKOI–Dhulikhel JV (Yubaraj Pokharel), Anup Construction (Shiva Khadka), Achyut Construction & Suppliers (Mitralal Sapkota), Anshuman Nirman Sewa (Bikash Yadav), Nagarjun/Aashika JV (Achyut Sapkota), Pantha–Tara Laxmi JV (Ganesh Bahadur Tangnami), Rhythm Construction (Suman Gurung), Frontline Builders (Gyandeep Giri), as well as KM Construction, Tech & Sapana Construction, ABC Nirman Sewa, Gayatri Maa Construction, Bhumiradha Builders, Narayan Bhagirathi JV, and Kripa Engineering Construction & Suppliers.
If the companies fail to provide clarification within the stipulated period, the process to blacklist them will move forward, preventing them from participating in any government tenders during the blacklisting period.
