When, where, and for how long do you post an IAEB?

The IAEB for projects with ABCs of more than Five Million Pesos (P5 million) must be
advertised and posted as follows: (IRR-A Section 21.2.2)

1. Advertised at least once in one (1) newspaper of general nationwide circulation

which has been regularly published for at least two (2) years before the date of
issue of the advertisement (advisably from the 7th calendar day after the pre-
procurement conference, but if during the pre-procurement conference the BAC
finds that it is not prepared to undertake the bidding procedure, it should not
hesitate to consider moving back the advertisement/posting thereof to allow more
time to perfect the same);

2. Continuously on the website of the Procuring Entity concerned, if available, the

website of the Procuring Entity’s service provider, if any, as provided in IRR-A
Section 8, and the PhilGEPS for seven (7) calendar days starting on date of
advertisement, if applicable; and

3. At any conspicuous place reserved for this purpose in the premises of the
Procuring Entity concerned, as certified by the head of the BAC Secretariat of the
Procuring Entity concerned, for seven (7) calendar days, if applicable. Moreover,
the IAEB must also be posted at the city/municipal hall and/or provincial capitol
where the project is located. Finally, the heads of contractors’ organizations in the
area must also be informed of such advertisement.

For projects with ABCs of P5 million and below, the IAEB should be posted:

1. Continuously on the website of the Procuring Entity concerned, if available, the

website of the Procuring Entity’s service provider, if any, as provided in IRR-A
Section 8, and the PhilGEPS for seven (7) calendar days starting on date of
advertisement, if applicable; and

2. At any conspicuous place reserved for this purpose in the premises of the
Procuring Entity concerned, as certified by the head of the BAC Secretariat of the
Procuring Entity concerned, for seven (7) calendar days, if applicable. Moreover,
the IAEB must also be posted at the city/municipal hall and/or provincial capitol
where the project is located. Finally, the heads of contractors’ organizations in the
area must also be informed of such advertisement.

For provincial projects as described in Section 44 of the IRR-A, or programs funded out
of the GAA for implementation within the province, in addition to the above
advertisement and posting requirements, the IAEB may be advertised in a local
newspaper with the widest circulation for the same prescribed period.
