Labour Clauses (Public Contracts) Convention, 1949 (No. 94) - Bahamas (RATIFICATION: 1976)

The Committee notes the Government’s report. It notes that in its previous report, received in 2000, the Government had made reference to the Contracts of Service and Public Work Regulations as giving effect to the requirements of the Convention. The text of these Regulations not being available at the Office, the Committee would appreciate receiving a copy. Furthermore, the Committee would be grateful if the Government would clarify whether Circulars Nos. 1/1966 of 19 January 1966 and 1/1967 of 30 November 1967 as well as Circular No. 2 of 26 October 1965 and the General Conditions of Contract have been superseded or otherwise amended by the above Regulations. In addition, the Committee would thank the Government for transmitting sample forms used for public tendering.

Part V of the report form. Noting that the Government has last provided practical information regarding the application of the Convention in 1994, the Committee requests the Government to supply in its next report up to date information on the number of public contracts awarded, enforcement measures, and any other particulars which would permit a general evaluation of the manner in which the Convention is applied.
