The Jakarta administration has blacklisted more than 100 contractor companies and banned them from joining tender bidding for city projects this year on the back of the bad track records they notched up in 2015, according to a high-ranking city official.
The 144 contractor companies were blacklisted due to poor behavior during bids for a project or insufficient implementation if they were awarded the tender, Jakarta Goods and Services Procurement Agency head Blessmiyanda said on Wednesday.
"The penalty is for two years. So blacklisted companies cannot make bids for national or Jakarta city projects," he told thejakartapost.com on Wednesday but refused to give further details on the names of the companies.
The companies were found to have submitted fake documents or conspired in order to win a project. Moreover, there were also companies that did not carry out projects in accordance with their tender proposal, Blessmiyanda said.
Among the blacklisted companies were all of those involved in the graft-tainted procurement of Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) units, which led to two city councilors and two civil servants being named suspects by the National Police's Criminal Investigation Department (Bareskrim).
Blessmiyanda urged for contractor companies to show integrity if they wanted to cooperate with the city administration in the future.
The Procurement Agency aimed to release Rp 7.7 trillion (US$550 million) of new contracts before May for city's massive low-cost apartment, school and community health center projects, he added. (rin)
