[Sent on 3 Mar 2022] Grant of Ex-gratia Extension of Time (E | BCA Singapore

[Sent on 3 Mar 2022]
Grant of Ex-gratia Extension of Time (EOT) to Contractors due to COVID-related delays for Public Sector Construction Contracts from Jul 2021 to Feb 2022

While the industry’s construction output has recovered close to pre-COVID levels, we recognise that the COVID-19 pandemic continued to impact site productivity due to border restrictions in the second half of 2021.

To mitigate the impact on eligible public sector construction contracts that have on-going works from 1 Jul 2021 to 28 Feb 2022:
The Government will grant an ex-gratia EOT of 33 days.
No claim or application is required from contractors.

Parties in private sector contracts are encouraged to make reference to the ex-gratia EOT provided and provide similar reliefs to contractors, where appropriate.

This will be the final broad-based grant of ex-gratia EOT for public sector construction contracts arising from COVID-related delay. For EOT after 28 Feb 2022, contractors can request for EOT arising from COVID-related delay with substantiation for their respective government agency clients to assess.

公共部门建筑合同：因冠病疫情而为2021年7月至2022年2月期间给予的特惠延长合同期 (EOT)

虽然建筑业整体的建筑产出已接近冠病疫情之前的水平，我们也意识到2021年下半年因冠病疫情的边境管制措施继续影响工地的生产力。

为了减缓疫情对业者的影响， 那些在 2021 年 7 月 1 日至 2022年 2 月28 日期间进行工程，并符合条件的公共部门建筑合同：
将获得政府机构以特惠方式给予的33天延长合同期 (EOT)
承包商无需提出延长合同期的申请

私人建筑合同的缔约方可以参考以上的特惠延长合同期，酌情提供承包商相应的援助。

这将是最后一次对公共部门建筑合同因冠病疫情相关延误，宣布广泛特惠 EOT 。对于2022年2月28日之后因冠病疫情相关延误，承包商可以提供凭据，和公共部门商讨EOT 。
