The Federal Government has introduced a five-year blacklist for contractors and service providers who default on their obligations. This blacklist, outlined in a new circular, outlines six grounds that could lead to exclusion from Federal Government procurement for three to five years. These grounds include bribery, fraud convictions, failure to perform contractual obligations, unsatisfactory performance history, document falsification, and debarment by multilateral organizations.
The government aims to promote integrity and transparency in public procurement and protect against non-performing contractors.

The Debarment Committee may impose a sanction of three to five years, and the BPP must investigate before making a final decision.
