New Procurement Law IRR Takes Effect Oct. 28, 2016


The 2016 Revised Implementing Rules and Regulation (IRR) of the Procurement Law is now signed into law and will take effect on October 28, 2016. Don’t be left behind! These changes will impact on all government procurement and transactions with the private sector. With the clamor of many to hold this seminar in the Visayas, the Center for Global Best Practices will hold its last run of this pioneering two-day DILG accredited seminar entitled, “What You MUST Know About the Government Procurement Law IRR 2016” on Wednesday and Thursday, November 16 & 17 in Richmonde Hotel, Iloilo, Philippines. This is part of a two-series program with the other topic entitled, How To Prepare Your Bidding Documents (aligned with the new IRR) to be held on Dec. 2 & 3 in anticipation of the changes in the bidding documents.  For details and a complete list of best practices seminars including Best Practices In The Preparation, Defenses, and Remedies on SALN, Best Practices and Remedies to Avoid COA Disallowances, How To Protect Yourself While Serving in the Government, Understanding the LGU Code of the Philippines, Parliamentary Procedures for Board Directors and Public Officials, you may log on to www.cgbp.org or call (02) 842-7148/ 59 and 556-8968/ 69; Cebu lines (032) 512-3106 or 07 or Baguio telephone (074) 423-5148.
The biggest buyer and consumer of infrastructure, goods and services is the government.   The private sector can win big if they fully understand the procurement law and its IRR including the changes on BAC Composition and its Functions, Guidelines in the formulation and revision of APP, Registration, Eligibility Requirements and Submission of Bids under the PhilGEPS, Form and Contents of Bidding Documents, Alternative Methods of Procurement and Eligibility Requirements for the Procurement of Infrastructure, Goods, and Services. For public officials, avoid getting into trouble due to violation and ignorance of the procurement law. Failure to know these can lead to perpetual disqualification for holding public office including criminal and administrative cases based on Commission On Audit (COA) findings of irregular transactions. For the private sector, avoid disqualification due to non-compliance! Given the big money involved, you lose big when you get disqualified.

This program is highly recommended for BAC chairpersons and their members, government officials in the national government agencies, LGUs and GOCCs as well as the business sector – suppliers, contractors and consultants and would be players -- who want to participate and do business with the biggest client of them all that is worth billions – the Government. 


This special seminar will feature Engr. Antonio V. Molano, Jr. who is presently the Director of the DPWH Region 3.  He is a subject matter expert on procurement of goods and infrastructure having written the procurement manual and bidding documents for civil works and lectured extensively on these topics.  He was part of the team that drafted the IRR on procurement law and Edmund B. Talle who served as a director of the Department of Budget and Management, Procurement Specialist of the AusAID program on Provincial Road Management Facility under the Coffey International Development Pty in 2012, Chair of the Regional Inter-Agency Bids and Awards Committee (R-IABAC) in Region VIII, and lectures on Procurement Law and IRR for the capacity building of many LGUs.
