DIFFERENCE BETWEEN CONTRACT FORM JKR 203A & PAM

PWD 203A Standard Form of Contract (Ed.1983)


This form of contract contain no expressed provision that allows the Contractor to
suspend the works if his payment was unduly delayed or he is not getting his
payment at all.
In the PWD203A Form of Contract (2007), it is stipulated that the period for
honouring the certificate is 30 days from the date of the issuance of the certificate.
Clause 30.1 of the PAM Form of Contract (2006) stated that the period of honouring
certificate is within 21 days after the issuance of the certificate. Any payment made
later than the stipulated time frame can be considered as late or delayed payment

PAM Form of Contract 1998


There is no express provision that permits the Contractor to suspend his work when
he is not paid or his payment was not forthcoming in due time after receiving the
Interim Certificate. Clause 25(1) (ii) and Clause 23.4 state that the Contractor is to
proceed regularly and diligently and he is to use his best endeavours to prevent
delay. The clauses clearly demand the Contractor to show a good performance and
continue with the work to prevent disruption to the progress of the project.

PAM Form of Contract 2006


But the new PAM 2006 contains provision that give the Contractor to suspend the
progress of work if the Contractor is faced with problem of delayed or non payment
by the Employer. It is clearly stated in clause 30.7. But it requires the Contractor to
give a written a notice to Employer with reason to suspend the works until the
Employer has paid the amount due to the Contractor
