Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 1991, published 78th ILC session (1991)

Labour Clauses (Public Contracts) Convention, 1949 (No. 94) - Guatemala (Ratification: 1952)

Article 2, paragraph 4, of the Convention. With reference to its previous comments, the Committee notes that the competent public authority will take the appropriate steps to advertise specifications or other measures necessary to ensure that persons offering and tendering for contracts are aware of the terms of the clauses. The Committee would be grateful if the Government would supply information on the effect given in practice to these measures, since the information provided by the Government in its report merely reproduces the terms of section 3(3) of Governmental Agreement No. 51 of 17 September 1981, as amended by Governmental Agreement No. 1083-84. The Committee would also be grateful if the Government would give a general appreciation of the manner in which the Convention is applied including, for instance, information on the number of contracts and workers covered by the legislation, and the number and type of violations that have been reported, as requested in point V of the report form.
