Philippines : Eligibility processing for prospective bidders streamlined for efficiency
Publish Date : 30-Jul-2015
The procurement process at the Department of Public Works and Highways has further simplified with prospective bidders or contractors no longer compelled to submit at least three requirements during the opening of bids for eligibility processing.
Secretary Rogelio L. Singson has directed the Bids and Awards Committee (BAC) in all DPWH Regional and District Engineering Offices to stop requiring contractors to submit original Contractor Registration Certificate (CRC), Contractor’s Information (CI), and Class “A†documents enumerated in the Implementing Rules and Regulations of RA 9184 (Government Procurement Reform Act) as part of the technical envelope.
According to Singson, this development resulted from updates in the DPWH Civil Works Registry (CWR).
The CWR provides a computerized database of contractors being used for transparent and efficient processing of contractors who are interested in DPWH civil works contracts. This database is being used to register contractors and determine their eligibility to bid for a project they intend to participate in. In the updated CWR, the DPWH BAC can now view the Contractor’s authorized Liaison Officer through the CWR’s Contact Person Verification function.
An updated version of the CWR has also been deployed in DPWH Regional and District Engineering Offices, allowing them to print the Contractor’s Information (CI) of prospective bidders after eligibility, for evaluation purposes. Through the new version of the CWR, Contractors will also be able to view their information online.
DPWH projects for bidding are posted in the DPWH and PhilGeps website wherein prospective bidders can download bidding documents and pay at any DPWH offices nationwide.
