The Committee notes with deep concern that the Government’s report has not been received. It expects that the next report will contain full information on the matters raised in its previous comments. The Committee informs the Government that, if it has not supplied replies to the points raised by 1 September 2020, then it may proceed with the examination of the application of the Convention on the basis of the information at its disposal at its next session.

Repetition

Article 2 of the Convention. Insertion of labour clauses in public contracts. The Committee notes the Government’s earlier indication that the Fair Wages Rule, which essentially reproduces the provisions of the Convention, continues to apply to all public contracts and that there has been no change in the implementing legislation in recent years. The Committee understands, however, that a Public Procurement Act (Cap. 73:05) was adopted in 2003 to enhance the transparency of the procurement process by setting up a new institutional structure for overseeing public contracting. The Committee also understands that, among other things, the new legislation provides for a Public Procurement Commission and a National Procurement and Tender Administration, standardized tender documents, and improved publicity and record keeping. Accordingly, the Committee requests the Government to specify whether the reform of the public procurement legislation affects, in any possible manner, the application of the Convention in either law or practice. It also requests the Government to forward a copy of any rules or regulations that may have been drafted so far for the implementation of the new Procurement Act, especially as regards the labour conditions applicable to workers engaged in the execution of public contracts.
