GPPB has no jurisdiction to rule over

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)

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)

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 142013)
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.

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

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. 072012, GPPB Circular No. 02-2012)

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

not precluded from being invited and be present
in the meeting. (NPM 05-2013)
