Take decisive action to "close the book" on unfeasible projects.
Following the directive of the Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee in Notice No. 86/TB-UBND dated April 26, 2026, the Department of Construction, in coordination with relevant departments, agencies, localities, and investors, is conducting a comprehensive review of projects that are behind schedule, stalled, or prolonged in the province.
Comrade Luu Viet Anh, Deputy Director of the Department of Construction, affirmed: One of the key contents of the review is to determine the technical stopping point for each project. This is an important basis for determining the actual status of the project at the time of construction suspension, ensuring structural stability, project safety, public safety, and minimizing the risk of deterioration and damage during the temporary suspension or termination of investment.
The technical review is based on three factors: the current structural condition of the project, its long-term safety and the necessary construction work required for commissioning; the actual volume of work completed to serve as the basis for acceptance, settlement, debt handling, and contractual responsibilities; and the ability to resolve financial obstacles, address remaining capital needs, balance resources, and assess the socio-economic effectiveness of continued investment.

After the review is complete, the projects will be specifically categorized to apply appropriate solutions. For projects that are still necessary, conform to the planning, have investment efficiency, and are likely to be completed, the province will focus on immediately removing bottlenecks related to investment procedures, land clearance, material sources, contractor capacity, and funding. At the same time, priority will be given to balancing these projects in the medium-term public investment plan for the period 2026-2030 to ensure their early completion and commissioning.
For projects facing temporary funding difficulties but still requiring future investment, the province will identify technical stopping points, organize reinforcement and protection of necessary components to limit deterioration, ensure structural safety, and create favorable conditions for continued implementation when resources are sufficient.
For projects that are no longer in line with planning, have low investment efficiency, and are beyond recovery, the province will decisively and resolutely "close the book." The entire project will be re-evaluated in terms of legal aspects, assets, land, volume, and outstanding construction debts to carry out the procedures for investment termination. Along with this, the responsibilities of each organization and individual involved will be clarified, preventing the situation of unfinished projects dragging on through multiple terms, causing waste of resources, eroding trust, and creating negative public opinion.
Tighten discipline and weed out incompetent contractors.
In Bac Me commune, there are currently two completed projects that have been put into use but have not yet been finalized: the construction of a new commune center hall and auxiliary facilities, with a total investment of over 14.9 billion VND; and the renovation and repair of the commune People's Council and People's Committee offices, along with auxiliary facilities, with a total investment of over 14.7 billion VND. In addition, there is one unfinished project: the renovation of the commune Party Committee and Fatherland Front Committee offices and related facilities, with an initial investment of 14.6 billion VND.
Comrade Ly Hai Vinh, Chairman of the People's Committee of Bac Me commune, said: Immediately after receiving guidance from the province, the commune issued a plan to promote the disbursement of public investment capital, built a roadmap for settling accounts for completed projects, and organized many direct working sessions with investors and contractors to resolve bottlenecks and finalize deadlines for each specific task.
For the People's Council and People's Committee office building project, the local authorities require the construction unit to complete the elevator system installation before May 31st and complete the assessment and approval of the final accounts before June 30th. At the central assembly hall and the Party Committee and Fatherland Front office building project, the investor, consulting unit, and contractor are urgently completing the fire safety acceptance documents; focusing manpower and accelerating construction to complete the remaining items.
In addition to removing obstacles for actively cooperating units, the province also shows a firm stance against weak contractors, those who work half-heartedly, or those who abandon projects. Units that do not ensure capacity, lack responsibility, or violate progress commitments will be considered for restrictions on participation in new projects. This "purging" step aims to restore order in investment and construction activities after many years of a situation where incompetent contractors still won bids, prolonging construction time and increasing risks and consequences for the State.
Mr. Nguyen Dinh Thiet, Deputy Director of Hoang Gia International Investment and Services Joint Stock Company, stated: The company is committed to accelerating progress and ensuring quality for ongoing construction projects, and fully agrees with the province's policy of reviewing and resolutely filtering out weak contractors.
Paving the way for double-digit growth.
In 2026, Tuyen Quang aims for a GRDP growth rate of 10.17%, making the efficient use of every penny of budget capital an urgent task. Each completed project means freeing up resources, reducing the pressure of outstanding debts in basic infrastructure construction, increasing budget balance, and creating room for new key projects.
Ms. Nguyen Thi Bich Ngoc, Deputy Director of the Department of Finance, stated: “The Department is implementing solutions to resolve obstacles for each group of projects. Initially, priority is given to projects that meet the settlement requirements; projects lacking documentation but capable of completion; and projects that have received approval from competent authorities and have been appraised by specialized departments and agencies, in order to quickly unlock investment resources.”
All information regarding implementation progress, final accounts, funding sources, legal status, and contractor capabilities will be reviewed, updated, and cross-referenced in a synchronized manner to overcome the inconsistency of data across previous management stages and to serve as a basis for improving the efficiency of public investment management.
Based on the principle of "six clear points": clear person, clear task, clear authority, clear responsibility, clear time, and clear results, establishing discipline in public investment will help to unblock capital flows and allocate resources in the right direction, creating a foundation for Tuyen Quang's double-digit economic growth target in the coming period.
