FAQ4735
Does termination of the contract mean that the contractor is automatically debarred from public procurement?
Not every termination gives rise to debarment. It must be determined separately whether the ground for termination falls within a fault or prohibited act to which Law No 4735 attaches the sanction of debarment. Debarment, criminal investigation and forfeiture of the guarantee are distinct legal consequences, each with its own requirements as to authority, time limits, act and evidence.
