The Secretariat is  is quiet at the moment with relatively few registrations and not many more renewals coming through the office. We are down on the number of registrations for this year, whether this is due to the "Crunch" we are not sure but once there is a tender on offer a number of contractors feel that its time to renew.

There are a number of issues with late renewal and it gets harder to to explain to NCC each year that this exercise is time consuming and expensive. We would like to see the exercise done on a two year cycle or if it is to be done on a yearly basis just return the changes to staff and plant and an indication of projects undertaken completed and at tender as at time fo renewal. The paper work at NCC is growing beyond manageable.

The secretariat will be pushing for a better way of registration next year and have nearly completed the necessary work to enable this to be done form the comfort of your own desk.

BLACK LIST

The Government has published on the 19 May 2009 a list of Contractors that have been absolved of any misconduct or bad practice. We are sure that that more news of the fate of the 14 will be made public shortly. 

Please drop in or contact this office if you are in the vicinity.

Thank you.

Executive Secretary
