3.2.2 The Committee noted that letters were sent to contractors that were underperforming, and thought this intervention meaningless as it did not force contractors to adhere to their contractual obligations. It was suggested that contractors who habitually underperformed should be blacklisted. The DPW explained that only National Treasury could blacklist companies. According to the JBCC and General Conditions of Contract for Construction Works (GCC), should a contractor underperform or fail to perform and complete the project on time without justification, that contractor should first be placed on terms in line with conditions of contract i.e. the JBCC or GCC. In cases where contracts had to be reviewed for the above-mentioned reasons, the chief financial officer (CFO) or supply chain manager (SCM) was obligated to supply National Treasury with their details.
