 GPPB as an Inter-Agency Body

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)

10
 GPPB Functions

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

11
 GPPB Functions

 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)

12
GPPB Website

13
 Philippine Government Electronic
Procurement System (PhilGEPS)
 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
14
 PhilGEPS Registration

 §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

15
 PhilGEPS Registration

 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.

16
 PhilGEPS Registration

 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)

17

PRINCIPLES OF PUBLIC
PROCUREMENT

34
 Governing Principles

P ublic Monitoring
 Awareness and vigilance

A ccountability
 Responsibility over actions/decisions (“Answerable”)

C ompetitiveness
 Equal opportunity to all eligible bidders

T ransparency
 Wider dissemination of bid opportunities

S treamlined Process
 Uniformly applicable to all government agencies

35
 Essence of PUBLIC MONITORING

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.

36
 ACCOUNTABILITY OF
PUBLIC OFFICIALS
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.

37
How to ensure COMPETITIVENESS
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.

38
 How to ensure TRANSPARENCY
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.

39
 Essence of STREAMLINED
PROCUREMENT SYSTEM
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.

40
PROCUREMENT METHODS

conditions:
1. The items to be procured are complex or specialized;
2. If the single BAC cannot reasonably manage the procurement
transactions as shown by delays beyond the allowable limits;
or
3. If the creation is required according to the nature of the
procurement.

48
 BIDS AND AWARDS COMMITTEE
(BAC)
 PE’s creation of sub-BACs to be placed under a main BAC is
not in compliance with the requirements under Sec 11 of the

composition of the BAC members subject to the qualifications
under Section 11.2.2 of the IRR of RA 9184. Each BAC shall

58
 PROHIBITED BAC MEMBERS

1. Head of the Procuring Entity

2. Official who approves procurement contracts; 

 Designation of the HOPE’s Executive Assistant (EA) as

Provisional Member of the BAC - only when the EA is an
approving authority that it is disqualified under §11.2.5 of the
IRR of RA 9184 from becoming a BAC member. (NPM 32-
2013)

59
 PROHIBITED BAC MEMBERS

3. Chief Accountant or Head of the

Provincial/City/Municipal Accounting Office and his/her
staff, unless the Accounting Department is the end-user unit,
in which case the Chief Accountant, Head of the Accounting
Department or his/her staff may be designated as an end-user
member. (COA Circular Letter No. 2004 – 3)

60
 CONFLICT OF INTEREST

 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)

61
 BAC SECRETARIAT

 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 members of

the BAC Secretariat.

 Head of the BAC SEC must be at least a 5th or 3rd

ranking permanent employee or, if not available, a
permanent official of the next lower rank

62
 BAC SECRETARIAT

FUNCTIONS:
 Provide administrative support to the BAC

 Organize BAC meetings and conferences

 Take custody of procurement documents and other records

 Manage the sale and distribution of bidding documents

 Advertise/post bidding opportunities and notices of awards

63
 BAC SECRETARIAT

FUNCTIONS:

 Assist in managing the procurement process

 Monitor procurement activities and milestones

 Consolidate PPMPs

 Act as central channel of communications

64
 BAC SECRETARIAT

FUNCTIONS:

 Assist in managing the procurement process

 Monitor procurement activities and milestones

 Consolidate PPMPs

 Act as central channel of communications

65
 BAC SECRETARIAT
 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.

66
 BAC SECRETARIAT

• 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)

67
 BAC SECRETARIAT

 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)

68
 TECHNICAL WORKING GROUP
(TWG)
 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 Circular No. 02-2012)
 BAC may create separate TWGs to handle different
procurements

69
 TECHNICAL WORKING GROUP
(TWG)
FUNCTIONS:
1. Assist BAC in the following activities:

 Preparation of bidding documents

 Eligibility check/short-listing
 Bid evaluation and preparation of reports
 Post-qualification
 Preparation of post-qualification summary report
2. Assist BAC and BAC Secretariat in preparing BAC
Resolutions

70
 OBSERVERS
 Observers represent the public, the taxpayers who are
interested in seeing to it that procurement laws are observed
and irregularities are averted.
 In all stages of procurement process BAC must invite, in
writing, at least three (3) Observers, at least 3 calendar days
before the date of the procurement stage/activity, who shall
be:
 Representative from COA
 Duly recognized private group in the sector or discipline of
the particular type of procurement involved
 Non-Government Organization (NGO)

71
 OBSERVERS

 BAC is mandated to invite Observers in all stages of the

procurement process, including post-qualification stage. (See
§13 of RA 9184)

 GPM enumerates the parties who are to conduct post-

qualification. Although Observers do not conduct post-
qualification of the bidder, they are not precluded from being
invited and be present in the meeting. (NPM 05-2013)

72
 OBSERVERS
Observers shall be allowed access to the following documents
upon their request, subject to signing of a confidentiality
agreement:

1. Minutes of BAC meetings;

2. Abstract of Bids;
3. Post-qualification summary report;
4. APP and related PPMP; and
5. Opened proposals

73
 OBSERVERS
RESPONSIBILITIES:
1. Prepare report (jointly or separately) indicating their
observations on the procurement activities

2. Submit report to the PE and furnish a copy to the GPPB and

the Office of the Ombudsman/Resident Ombudsman

3. Immediately inhibit and notify in writing the PE of any

actual or potential conflict of interest

74
 GRANT OF HONORARIA
