Transcripts
right so we will be sharing to you today
our review for
the financial management domain is under
domain two
we will be sharing the republic act 9184
it is entitled as the act providing for
the modernization standardization and
regulation
of the procurement activities of the
government and for other purposes so
under this discussion this is quite a
long and comprehensive discussion we
will be covering article 1
to article 15 of this republic act so
how would we call the law the law
actually has a short title this act
shall be known as the government
procurement reform act so this this is
under section one
of this republic act so as you can see
under section two we can see here
the declaration of the policy it is
declared policy of the state to promote
the ideals of good governance
in all its branches departments agencies
subdivisions and instrumentalities
including government owned
or controlled corporations and local
government units so as you can see
the uh the coverage as to who would uh
be covered under this law is also
detailed
so here in section 3 we see the
governing principles on government
procurement all procurement of the
national government its departments
bureaus
offices and agencies including state
universities and colleges
government-owned or controlled
corporations government
financial institutions and local
government units
shall in all cases be governed by
principle so these are the
principles that we need to follow when
we do the government procurement
first is transparency transparency in
the procurement process in the
implementation of procurement contracts
so we should be clear and transparent to
everyone
first another second is competitiveness
by extending equal opportunity to enable
private contracting parties who are
eligible and qualified
to participate in the public bidding
when it's competitive then we give equal
opportunities for
all the private entities to join the
uh the bidding then streamline
procurement process that will uniformly
apply to all government procurement
so it means a streamline means all the
unnecessary parts
all the unnecessary steps are now
eliminated and it's streamlined
and it is uniform in terms of
application to all government
organizations or government department
so the procurement process shall be
simple
and made adaptable to advances in modern
technology in order to ensure
an effective and efficient method so it
is encouraged that we should be
adaptable
to the modern technology and we should
try to
be more efficient and effective when we
do procurement systems of accountability
where both of the public officials
directly
or indirectly involved in the
procurement process as well
as the implementation of procurement
contracts and private parties that deal
with government
are when warranted by circumstances
investigated and held liable for their
actions
relative there too so there is a system
of accountability which we will see
later on in the law
which will make these public officials
liable in case there are circumstances
that will make them liable too right so
public monitoring of the procurement
process and the implementation
of the awarded contracts with the end of
viewing guaranteeing that these
contracts are awarded
pursuant to the provisions of this act
and it's implementing rules and
regulations
and that all these contracts are
performed strictly according
to the specification so there is a
public monitoring system and a
procurement process
and the implementation of the award
contracts at the end of you which we
try to guarantee that these contracts
are
really in line with what is specified
under this law
right so let's now proceed to section
four so what is the scope
and application so this actually applied
to the procurement
of the infrastructure projects goods
and consulting services regardless of
source of funds whether local
or foreign by all branches and
instrumentalities of government
its departments offices and agencies
including government owned
or controlled corporations and local
government units
subject to the provisions of the
commonwealth act number
138 so any treaty or the international
or executive agreement affecting the
subject matter of this act to which the
philippine government
is a signatory shall be observed so in
short
this has a lot of application because
as you can see even you know regardless
of the source of funds
whether local or foreign all branches
and
instrumentalists of the government
should use and
implement what is written in this law
right so let's go to the definition of
term so we should start with this
so that we can understand what is being
said in the law so the
for the purposes of this act the
following terms or words and phrases
shall mean or be understood as follows
when you hear the word the acronym abc
it means
approve a budget for the contract refers
to the budget for the contract duly
approved by the head of the procuring
entity or the hope as provided for in
the general appropriations act or
continuing our preparations in the case
of national government agencies
the corporate budget for the contract
approved by the governing board's person
one to executive order number 518
series of 1979 in the case of
government-owned
or controlled corporations government
financial institutions and state
universities and colleges in the budget
for the contract
approved by the respective sanggunian in
the case of local government units so
that's the abc
or the approved budget for the contract
let's now refer to the bac or the back
refers to the bids and awards committee
established in accordance with the
article 5 of this
act so that's the back then we have the
bidding documents
refers to the documents issued by the
procuring entity
as a basis for bids furnishing all
information necessary for the
prospective bidder to prepare a bid
for the goods infrastructure projects
and consulting services to be provided
so you can see all the details about
the things that they can propose on are
found in the bidding
documents right so as you can see here
we have bid for letter d bid refers to
the signed offer or proposal submitted
by a supplier manufacturer distributor
contractor or consultant in response to
the bidding document so as they look at
the bidding documents this
these are the products and services and
specifications that they need so they
the the supplier or the manufacturer can
now
present to them how much will it cost so
this is the bid
then it's a form of proposal trying to
tell them
uh what is or how much would they charge
if they offer
such product or service competitive
bidding refers to a method of
procurement which
is open to participation by any
interested party which consists of the
following processes
advertisement pre-bid conference
eligibility screening of prospective
bidders
receipt and opening of bids evaluation
of bids
post qualification and award of contract
the specific requirements and the
mechanics of which shall be defined
in the implementing rules and
regulations to be promulgated under this
act so under competitive bidding these
are
methods of procurement that we do right
so we're in we
we ask for the participation of
interested parties
and we actually do the advertisement
pre-bid conference
etc right so we also have consulting
services
refers to the services for
infrastructure projects and other two
types of
activities of the government requiring
requiring
adequate external technical and
professional expertise
that are beyond the capability and
capacity of the government to undertake
such
as but not limited to for example
advisory and review services
pre-investment or feasibility studies
design construction supervision
management and related services and
other technical services
or special special studies so
that's consulting services then we have
the g
eps refers to government electronic
procurement system as provided
in section 8 of this of this act
right so goods refer to all items
supplies materials and general support
services
exact consulting services and
infrastructure projects
which may be needed in the transaction
of public business
or in the pursuit of government
undertaking project or activity within
the nature of equipment
furniture stationary materials for
construction or personal property of any
kind
including non-personal or contractual
services such as repair
and maintenance of equipment and
furniture as well as trucking
howling janitorial security related or
analogous services as well as
procurement of materials and supplies
provided by the procuring intent
entity for such services so the gppb
refers to the government procurement
policy board established in accordance
with
article 20 of this act so if you look at
the video description
i have attached here the complete manual
from the government procurement policy
board
in terms of um this republic act
so the head of the procuring entity
refers to the head of the agency or his
julian authorized
official for national government
agencies
the government board or its dually
authorized official for government-owned
or controlled corporations and the local
chief executive for local government
units provided that in department
office or agency where the procurement
is decentralized
the head of each decentralized unit
shall be considered as the head of the
procuring entity or the hope
subject to the limitations and authority
delegated by the head of the department
agency or office
right so another part of the definition
of terms so we have infrastructure
projects
including construction improvement
rehabilitation demolition repair
restoration or maintenance of roads
bridges railways airports seaports
communication facilities civil works
components of information technology
projects irrigation flood control
drainage
water supply sanitation sewerage solid
waste management systems shore
protection energy power electrification
facilities national buildings
school buildings hospital buildings and
other related construction projects of
the government
so it's really exhaustive no trying to
tell all the
possible infrastructure projects we also
have the irr so what does it mean refers
to the implementing
rules and regulations that's why it's
irr to be promulgated
in accordance with section 75 of this
act
portal refers to the website that
aggregates a wide variety of content
for the purpose of attracting a large
number of
users so we also have procurement refers
to the acquisition of goods consulting
services
and the contracting for infrastructure
projects by the procuring intensive
entity
so procurement shall also include the
least of goods and real estate
with respect to real property its
procurement shall be governed by the
profession
provisions of republic act 8974
entitled an act to facilitate the
acquisition of right-of-way
site or location for national government
infrastructure projects
and other purposes and other applicable
laws rules and regulations so for
this case we will refer to the public
act number 8974
then we also have the procuring entity
refers to any branch
department office agency or
instrumentality of the government
including state universities
colleges government owned and controlled
corporations
government financial institutions and
local government units procuring goods
consulting services and infrastructure
projects
right so standardization of procurement
process and forms
so to systematize the procurement
process and avoid
avoid confusion and ensure transparency
the procurement process including the
forms to be used shall be standardized
so far as practicable for this purpose
the gppb
shall pursue the development of genetic
procurement manuals
and standard beading forms and the use
of which
ones issues shall be mandatory upon all
procurement procuring entities so that's
why as school leaders
we should try to check every now and
then the website and the gppb
so i'll be sharing in the video
description their website and also the
manuals that you can download
so that you will be able to really
understand how the procurement process
occurs right so section seven
procurement planning
and budgeting language so all
procurement should be within the
approved budget of the procuring entity
and should be meticulously
and judiciously planned by the procuring
entity
concerned consistent with government
fiscal
discipline measures only those
considered crucial to the efficient
discharge of governmental functions
shall be included in the annual
procurement plan to be specified in the
irr
also known as the implementing rules and
regulations
so no government procurement shall be
undertaken unless it is accordance
with the approve and well procurement
plan of the procuring entity
so the annual procurement plan shall be
approved by the head of the procuring
entity and must be consistent
with this duly approved yearly budget
the unknown procurement plan shall be
formulated and revised only in
accordance with the guidelines set
forth in the irr in the case of
infrastructure projects the plan shall
include engineering design and
acquisition
of the right of way procurement by
electronic means to promote transparency
and efficiency information and
communications technology shall be
utilized in the conduct of procurement
procedures
so here we can see the modernization
aspect of this law
accordingly there shall be a single
portal that shall serve
as a primary source of information and
all government procurement
and that's the geps all right so
shall serve gaps will serve as the
primary and principal definitive source
of information
on government procurement further the
gpbb
is authorized to approve changes in the
procurement process
to adapt to the improvements of modern
technology provided that such
modifications
are consistent with the provisions of
section 3
of this act so to take advantage of the
significant
built-in efficiencies of the geps and
the volume discount inherent in bulk
purchasing
all procuring entities shall utilize the
geps
for the procurement of common supplies
in accordance with the rules
in accordance with the rules and
procedures to be established by the gpb
pb with regard to the procurement of
non-common use
items infrastructure projects and
consulting services
agencies may hire service providers
to undertake their electronic
procurement provided
these service providers meet the minimum
requirements
set by the gpp so if you want to
