The Government has said that it will ban tier one contractors from bidding for work if they don’t pay their suppliers promptly.
As part of a broader package of measures designed to protect smaller businesses, the Government announced plans to exclude suppliers from major Government procurements if they cannot demonstrate “fair and effective” payment practices with their subcontractors.
In the wake of Carillion’s collapse, construction industry chiefs have called for action to tackle bad payment practices.
Mark Castle, chairman of Build UK, spoke to Construction News about the need for “consequences” for bad payers, calling for more transparency to expose the industry’s worst offenders.
“When you have companies that have poor payment practices there has to be consequences for those companies, particularly when it comes to winning work,” he said.
