 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)

 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 24.4.3allows 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)

procurement, shall be determined based
on the primary purpose of the contract.

Determination shall be made by the

procuring entity.

31
 DETERMINATION OF TYPE OF
PROCUREMENT
Classification of ICT Services

PE is in the best position to determine the correct

classification of its procurement based on its identified
needs and the best way by which these needs may be
addressed, managed, and satisfied.

It is the motivation or intention of the PE in pursuing

the project that will determine the primary purpose of
a project.

32
 DETERMINATION OF TYPE OF
PROCUREMENT
Classification of ICT Services

PE should be guided by the parameters and conditions

33
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
Effective and efficient method

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 Entitys 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

 BIDS AND AWARDS
COMMITTEE (BAC)
As a general rule, HOPE must create a single
BAC. However, separate BACs may be created
under any of the following 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)
PEs creation of sub-BACs to be placed under a
main BAC is not in compliance with the
requirements under Sec 11 of the IRR of RA 9184.
PE may, however, establish separate BACs with
the composition of the BAC members subject to
the qualifications under Section 11.2.2 of the IRR
of RA 9184. Each BAC shall not be considered as
decentralized committees pursuant to Section
11.1.2 of the IRR since it will be headed by a
single HOPE. (NPM 74-2013)

2. Official who approves procurement

contracts;

.Designation of the HOPEs 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 staf, 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

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 Heads 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
