Eight construction companies have been blacklisted, for how long will they be prohibited from doing what?

Nepal’s Public Procurement Monitoring Office has blacklisted eight construction companies for failing to complete government-assigned projects on time. These firms are now barred from participating in procurement bids for up to two years.

In a strong move against project delays, the Public Procurement Monitoring Office under the Prime Minister’s Office of Nepal has blacklisted eight construction companies. The decision, made public through an official notice today, follows recommendations from various government bodies.

These companies were found to have failed to complete assigned public works within the agreed timeframe. The action was taken under Clause 63(10) of the Public Procurement Act, 2063, which permits blacklisting for non-compliance and inefficiency.

As a result, these firms will now be barred from participating in any public procurement processes for a period ranging from one to two years. The authorities hope this move will enforce greater accountability and discipline in government contracting and infrastructure development.
