Motion TitlePrompt Payment in Public Sector Contracts

Motion TextThat this Assembly acknowledges the severe difficulties faced by sub-contractors to public sector contracts, from both central and local government, caused by late payments; recognises the reasonable expectation that all contractors, including sub-contractors, should be paid punctually to ensure that they do not face cash flow problems as a result of delivering public service contracts; and calls on the Minister of Finance to work with Executive colleagues to ensure that under the terms of all public sector contracts, all contractors, including sub-contractors, are paid within 30 days of invoicing for work completed.
