PROCUREMENT OF CIVIL WORKS CONTRACTS
A.
Locally Funded Projects
The procurement of contracts for
locally funded projects by the Department of Public Works and
Highways (DPWH) is governed by Republic Act No. 9184, also known as
the Government Procurement Reform Act, and its Implementing Rules
and Regulations – Part A (IRR-A).
In accordance with the relevant
provisions, the DPWH has established a Registry of Civil Works
Contractors, managed by the Central Bids and Awards
Committee-Technical Working Group (BAC-TWG), which is a database of
the contractors’ legal, financial and technical information.
Evaluation of the contractors’ eligibility is done electronically
using the information stored in the Registry. Although, District
Engineering Offices (DEOs) have the option to do manual eligibility
evaluation, they still rely on the Contractors Registration
Information issued by the Central BAC-TWG. All bonafide contractors
who wish to do business with the Department must be accredited in
the said Registry.
To apply for eligibility and to
bid for a specific project of the Department, contractors need only
to submit to the Implementing Office (IO) a duly accomplished
expression of interest (form NR-003). Duly eligible contractors will
be issued bid documents. Ineligible contractors have seven (7)
calendar days to request for reconsideration.
B. Foreign-Assisted Projects
The procurement of
foreign-assisted projects is based on the guidelines issued by the
concerned lending institution, such as World Bank (WB), Japan Bank
for International Cooperation (JBIC), Asian Development Bank (ADB),
etc. The selection of contractors is based on the pre-qualification
criteria concurred by these institutions and varies depending on the
nature and complexity of the proposed contract to be bid. |
