This three-session training program aims to impart knowledge, guidance and updates to the key actors from national and local government agencies, state universities and colleges, GOCCs and the private sector engaged in the Procurement of Civil Works/ Infrastructure under RA 9184 or the Government Procurement Reform Act (GPRA) and its 2016 Revised Implementing Rules and Regulations (IRR).  The online training will cover fundamental principles, procurement organizations and planning, eligibilities, standard bid documents, procedures for public bidding, early procurement, and alternative modes of procurement, administrative remedies, offenses¸ penalties, and blacklisting.

This will also focus on the recent GPPB issuances on: (a) efficient E-Based Procurement Processes, (b) Procurement in Emergency Cases in times of calamities and community quarantines, and (c) blacklisting of errant suppliers.

For public officials, avoid getting into trouble due to violation and ignorance of the procurement law.  For the private sector who wants to do business with the government, avoid disqualification due to non-compliance!
