The cidb has concluded an investigation into Moriel Infrastructure Group's grading, with a Board decision due in October 2026. This follows a ministerial directive and underscores the cidb's commitment to enforcing grading integrity, which is critical for maintaining fair competition in public procurement.
This signals a stricter enforcement of grading compliance, which could lead to deregistration of non-compliant contractors, affecting their ability to bid and creating market shifts.
The cidb has completed its investigation into Moriel Infrastructure Group's grading, with a decision pending in October 2026.
This investigation may prompt a wider audit of contractor gradings across the industry, leading to increased compliance costs and a more transparent procurement environment.
Suppliers should monitor the outcome; if Moriel is deregistered, competitors may gain access to tenders previously held by Moriel. Contractors should also review their own grading submissions to ensure compliance.
Contractors face increased risk of investigation and potential deregistration if their grading information is found to be inaccurate or fraudulent.
