The Ministry of Public Works (MoPW) is set to approach the National Procurement and Tender Administration Board (NPTAB) to discuss blacklisting Trinidadian company, Kallco Guyana Inc, as a “non-performing contractor.”

“Basically, the end result will be that Kallco will have to be removed from these projects. We have to ensure we follow the terms and conditions of the contract and he will be deemed a non-performing contractor, and we will have to say to the tender board that he is a non-performing contractor and that he should not be given any work in Guyana”, Minister of Public Works, Juan Edghill told Stabroek News yesterday.

Kallco (Guyana) Inc was contracted to complete a sector of the East Coast Demerara Highway road project that will connect with Dennis Street in Georgetown.
