Project management · AEC industry
An article in the Taiwan Professional Civil Engineers Association paper reviews proposed revisions to Government Procurement Act debarment rules, highlighting concurrent sanctions and affiliated firm bans.
An analysis published by the Taiwan Professional Civil Engineers Association examines proposed revisions to Articles 101 through 103-1 of the Government Procurement Act presented by the Public Construction Commission in September 2026. The article notes that while the draft defines debarment as a regulatory sanction, ambiguities remain regarding divergent suspension periods for bid-rigging offenses, procedural delays in gazetting notices, blanket restrictions on firms sharing the same legal representative, and cumulative sanction caps across multiple cases.
Key takeaways
- The draft defines debarment as a regulatory sanction, yet identical bid-rigging infractions face 1- or 3-year bans depending on clauses applied.
- The proposal extends debarment to firms sharing representatives, prompting calls for evidence-based review of actual control and due process.
