DPM stipulates replacement of underperforming contractors

In a recent government notification on October 23 – Notification No.429/TB-VPCP – stemming from his visit to the site, Deputy Prime Minister Tran Hong Ha emphasised the need for the replacement of contractors that fail to meet the project's high standards.

DPM Ha was quoted saying, "The Long Thanh International Airport project is one of the most ambitious infrastructure endeavours of our times, given its scale, investment, and technological requisites."

Highlighting the significance of this mega project, he insisted on the paramount importance of adhering to quality and technological advancement.

The most striking directive was his stance on underperformance. "Effective reward mechanisms should be in place for contractors that excel in their duties. However, for those failing to uphold the project's standards, not only should penalties be applied, but decisive action, including replacement, should be immediate," he firmly stated.

Such a move indicates the government's commitment to ensuring that the Long Thanh International Airport project progresses without hitches and meets its envisioned standards. It underscores the no-compromise attitude on quality and efficiency for a project of such national and international importance.

The Ministry of Transport, as the primary overseer of the project alongside Airports Corporation of Vietnam and other related ministries, has been directed to constantly review the performance of all involved entities. This continuous evaluation aims to quickly identify areas of concern and take corrective action where necessary, including replacements.
