 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)

 Responsibility over actions/decisions (“Answerable”)

ompetitiveness
 Equal opportunity to all eligible bidders

ransparency
 Wider dissemination of bid opportunities

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.

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

composition of the BAC members subject to the
qualifications under Section 11.2.2 of the IRR of RA

2. Official who approves procurement contracts;

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

as Provisional Member of the BAC - only when the EA

59
 PROHIBITED BAC MEMBERS

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:

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
