exceptional cases
 Use of the Approved Budget for the Contract (ABC) as
ceiling for the bid price
 Use of transparent, objective, and non-discretionary
criteria
 Increased transparency in the procurement process

Key Features of GPRA

10. 10
Big procuring entities - defense, education,
health, public works, transportation and
communications
Oversight agencies - budget, planning, finance,
trade, science and technology, interior and local
government, energy
Private Sector Representative
Resource Persons (audit, anti-corruption
agencies)
GPPB as an Inter-Agency Body

11. 11
Policy-Making
 Amend implementing rules & regulations of procurement law
(quasi-legislative function)
 Prepare generic procurement manual and standard bidding
forms
Capacity Development
 Establish a sustainable training program
Monitoring
 Assist procuring entities improve their compliance
 Review effectiveness of procurement law
GPPB Functions

12. 12
 GPPB has no jurisdiction to rule over actual
controversies with regard to the conduct of the
bidding since it has no quasi-judicial functions
under the law.
 It is the prerogative and discretion of the
procuring entity through its BAC to come up
with the declaration since they are in the best
position to determine the details of their Project.
(NPM 56-2013)
GPPB Functions

13. 13
GPPB Website

14. 14
Serves as the primary and definitive source of
information on all government procurement
Utilized for the procurement of common-use supplies to
take advantage of bulk purchasing
Features of the PhilGEPS
 Electronic Bulletin Board
 Electronic Registry
 Electronic Catalogue
 Virtual Store
 Electronic Payment
 Electronic Bid Submission
Philippine Government Electronic
Procurement System (PhilGEPS)

15. 15
§8.5.1 RA 9184 IRR requires suppliers, contractors, consultants to
register with PhilGEPS. It does not qualify based on threshold.
Inapplicability of the posting requirement is not tantamount to a
situation where PhilGEPS registration may also be dispensed with
since the amount of the project is not a factor for the condition to apply.
Registration with PhilGEPS is absolute, and must be complied with
regardless of the cost of procurement.
Reference: NPM 34-2013
PhilGEPS Registration

16. 16
 Sections 23.4 and 24.4.3 allows the BAC of a procuring
entity to “maintain a registry system using the PhilGEPS
or its own manual or electronic system that allows
submission and/or recording of eligibility requirements
simultaneously with registration.” However, Prospective
bidders not included in the registry system should not
be precluded from participating in any procurement
opportunity.
PhilGEPS Registration

17. 17
 This should not be considered an accreditation system,
and is not tantamount to a finding of eligibility, nor a
guarantee that the registered supplier, contractor, or
consultant will be eligible for any particular procurement
activity or contract award. (NPM 16-2013)
PhilGEPS Registration

S treamlined Process
 Uniformly applicable to all government agencies

1.Allows public involvement of qualified and eligible Civil
Society Organizations (NGOs, PAs, academic institutions,
and religious groups) to observe and monitor the
procurement process until contract implementation.
2.Increased transparency of procurement transactions.
Essence of PUBLIC
MONITORING

37. 37
Pertinent laws and the prescribed
procedures must be faithfully complied
with in the discharge of functions in all
stages of the procurement process as
well as the implementation of contracts.
Private parties that deal with government
should also be held accountable for their
actions.
ACCOUNTABILITY OF
PUBLIC OFFICIALS

38. 38
As a rule, procurement must be conducted
through competitive bidding process, unless
otherwise provided under GPRA, its IRR and this
Manual, then the Alternative Methods of
Procurement can be resorted to.
This is to guarantee:
1.Equitable and fair grounds for competition
among bidders.
2.That no single bidder significantly influences the
outcome of the bidding.
How to ensure
COMPETITIVENESS

39. 39
1. Posting in the Procuring Entity’s website,
2. Posting in the PhilGEPS website, and
3. Posting in a conspicuous place within the
premises of the PE is required for all
procurements.
4. Each procurement transaction must be properly
documented and such records must be
maintained and made available to proper
parties.
How to ensure
TRANSPARENCY

40. 40
1. Uniform application to all government
procurements.
2. Simple and adaptable to advances in
modern technology in order to ensure an
effective and efficient method of
procurement.
GPPB conducts a periodic review of government
procurement procedures, and whenever necessary,
formulates and implements changes thereto.

BIDS AND AWARDS COMMITTEE

PROHIBITED BAC MEMBERS

60. 60
Conflict of interest arises when, in the case of the subject
matter of the inquiry, the Chairman of the BAC that conducted
the earlier procurement was eventually designated as OIC-
HOPE.
The subject procurement is deprived of checks and
balances as one of the persons conducting the bid evaluation
and post-qualification, who is no less than the BAC Chair,
may have that degree of proclivity towards the recommended
action of the BAC; thus, the subsequent award of contract
may no longer enjoy the cold neutrality of an impartial HOPE.
(NPM 14-2013)
CONFLICT OF INTEREST

61. 61
HOPE may create a new office or designate an
existing organic office to act as BAC Secretariat
There is no minimum or maximum number of

BAC SECRETARIAT

65. 65
BAC Secretariat Head cannot notarize resulting contract of
the procurement activities. (NPM 66-2013)
-The BAC Sec provides a vital supporting role for the PE in the
procurement process. If the BAC Sec Head is to notarize the
resulting contract, she would then take on a more central role by
bestowing upon the contract the imprimatur of a legal attestation
by a third person.
-This may invite suspicion of unfaithfulness, conflict of interest,
which may cast doubt on the contract in particular, and the entire
procurement activity as a whole.
BAC SECRETARIAT

66. 66
•BAC Secretariat Head’s authority to sign procurement-
related documents should be confined to those that are
within the scope of her duties and responsibilities under RA
9184 and its IRR, and should exclude those that require
the exercise of discretion, consent or approval on matters
under the jurisdiction of a different authority. (NPM 66-2013)
BAC SECRETARIAT

67. 67
Section 14 of RA 9184 and its IRR limits the
responsibilities of the BAC Secretariat to administrative
support functions and primarily ministerial duties. Since the
BAC Secretariat is limited to these functions, the conduct of
opening and preliminary examination of bids, where
discretion and sound judgment is required, cannot be
considered as clerical or secretariat nature; therefore,
outside the functions of the BAC Secretariat. (NPM 69-
2013)
BAC SECRETARIAT

68. 68
Created by the BAC from a pool of legal, technical
and financial experts
-those experts outside the procuring entity concerned
may be included, i.e. government personnel and officials
and consultants from the private sector and academe
with proven expertise on the sourcing of goods, works or
consulting services. (GPPB Resolution No. 07-2012, GPPB
