21.48.4. If the Authority renders a decision concluding that an enterprise does not meet the standards of integrity, it must, at the same time, impose on the enterprise any corrective measure it considers conducive to enabling the enterprise to meet those standards. If no such measure is imposed, the decision rendered by the Authority mentions it and the enterprise, following that decision, is registered in the register of enterprises ineligible for public contracts referred to in section 21.6.
The Authority informs the enterprise of the terms and conditions, including the time limit, for implementing any corrective measure, and those for reporting to the Authority on that implementation.
If the enterprise fails to implement a corrective measure within the time granted, the Authority temporarily registers the enterprise in the register of enterprises ineligible for public contracts. If the enterprise remedies the failure to the Authority’s satisfaction, within three months after its temporary registration, the Authority withdraws the registration from the register. If the enterprise does not remedy the failure within that time, the Authority definitively registers the enterprise in the register, for a period of five years starting on the date it was temporarily registered. Before registering an enterprise in the register of enterprises ineligible for public contracts under this paragraph, the Authority must render a decision establishing the enterprise’s failure.
