Business guide to new Procurement Law IRR

MANILA, Philippines — Executive Order 34 signed on July 17, 2017 simplified certain processes and procedures to make it faster and more efficient for national government agencies, LGUs and GOCCs to procure infrastructure, goods and services. This is good news for those in the private sector doing business or plan to do business with the government.

To help all stakeholders understand these changes, the Center for Global Best Practices is doing a rerun this year of its two-day seminar titled, “What You Must Know About the Government Procurement Law IRR 2016” on April 5 and 6, 2018 at the Marriott Hotel, Pasay City. This seminar is part of a series, with the other one titled, “How To Prepare Your Bidding Documents (aligned with the new IRR)” to be held on June 28 and 29 ( also at the Marriott Hotel). 

The changes will impact on all government procurement and transactions with the private sector. The lecture will extensively discuss the revised implementing rules and regulations (IRR) aligning it with the new EO and how it affects certain government procurement processes and procedures, changes in the  BAC composition and its functions, guidelines in the formulation and revision of APP, registration, eligibility requirements and submission of bids under the PhilGEPS, exemptions from public bidding, form and contents of bidding documents, alternative methods of procurement and eligibility requirements for the procurement of infrastructure, goods and services. 

This 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 government. Interested participants may avail of the early registration savings and group discounts for three or more participants. Pre-registration is required in this limited-seats-only event. Register early to ensure seat availability!
