The contractor had been awarded a tender to do renovations and build extra wards at Nkonjeni Public Hospital in Mhlabathini outside Ulundi, in the north of the province.
However, the department recently suspended the contractor for doing substandard work and wants to recoup money from it.
Public Works and Infrastructure MEC Martin Meyer announced this during a joint media briefing with the provincial Health MEC Nomagugu Simelane-Mngadi this week.
