CLASSIFICATION OF CONTRACTORS

The classification Register is solely for the use of Government Ministries, Departments,

compulsory, but it should be noted that only contractors who are thus classified would
be legible to undertake Building and Civil contracts awarded by the Government of

guidelines should first satisfy him/herself that he/she can fulfil the basic minimum
