Kathmandu — Five construction and supply companies have been blacklisted by the Public Procurement Monitoring Office for failing to properly implement public procurement contracts.

The companies placed on the blacklist will not be allowed to participate in any government procurement process during the specified period.

The Public Procurement Monitoring Office, under the Office of the Prime Minister and Council of Ministers, said the decision was taken based on recommendations from various government agencies in accordance with the Public Procurement Act, 2007 and Public Procurement Regulations, 2007.

According to the office, the blacklisted companies include Santosh Nirman of Biratnagar, Nanda Nirman of Makwanpur, Shubhakamana Gardening and Suppliers of Kathmandu, Sai Nirman of Rupandehi, and Sai Mahalaxmi Production and Trading Company of Saptari.

Among the five companies, four have been blacklisted for one year, while one company has been barred from public procurement activities for three years.

The office stated that the companies, firms and concerned individuals under the blacklist cannot participate in procurement activities conducted by the federal government, provincial governments, local governments, public institutions or other government bodies during the blacklist period.

The action is part of the government’s effort to improve accountability in public projects and discourage contractors from failing to meet contractual obligations.
