Best Practices Guide on How to Prepare Your Bidding Documents

Early this year, the government released a new set of bidding documents to align with the new Procurement Law Implementing Rules and Regulations that took effect on October 28, 2016. 

To help those in the private sector who wants to participate in the bidding transactions with the government as well as assist public officials in understanding these changes, the Center for Global Best Practices is holding a two-day seminar entitled, “Best Practices Guide on How to Prepare Your Bidding Documents” to be held on Thursday and Friday, November 16 & 17, 2017 at the Manila Marriott Hotel, Pasay City, Philippines. This program is highly recommended for heads of procuring entities, bids and awards committees (BACs) of National Government Agencies, Local Government Units, GOCCs, BAC secretariat members, suppliers, contractors, consultants, and everyone who wants to participate in bidding for government projects. This seminar is to provide participants with a better understanding of the various provisions of the new Philippine bidding documents for the procurement of goods, infrastructure projects and consulting services.  Failure to successfully conclude procurement projects are normally due to faulty crafting of the TORs, requirements in the bidding documents, and the disqualification of bidders are attributable to inability to align their bidding documents to the procurement guidelines.
