The Public Procurement and Asset Disposal Board (PPADB) has slammed the continued failure to submit end of activity reports by procuring entities, saying this hampers the performance monitoring of contractors in the implementation of government projects.

The board added that this tendency also makes it difficult for the PPADB to take appropriate action against non-performing or unethical conduct by contractors. The board has the power to suspend or delist contractors from participating in government procurement.
