Proposed amendment: (Under Section 54, insert as 54.3)

54.3 In all instances of alternative methods of procurement, the procuring entity through the BAC must validate whether it is entering into a contract with a technically, legally and financially capable supplier, contractor or consultant by requiring the submission of relevant documents or through other means.

54.3.1 For the purposes of this section, "relevant documents" shall be limited to the following:

a. Registration certificate from SEC, Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) for sole proprietorship, or CDA for cooperatives;

b. BIR Registration Certificate;

c. Mayor’s permit issued by the city or municipality where the principal place of business of the prospective bidder is located; except for Shopping under Section 52.1.a and Negotiated Procurement under Section 53.2 of this IRR where the Mayor's permit shall be limited to the city or municipality where the procuring entity is located up to the cities and municipalities attached to its geographical boundaries;

d. Certificate of PhilGEPS Registration; except for Shopping under Section 52.1 and Negotiated Procurement under Section 53.9 of this IRR with ABCs equal to Fifty Thousand Pesos (P50,000.00) or below.

54.3.2 For the purposes of this section, "through other means" shall be limited to the following:

a. Printed copy(ies) of official correspondence from the BAC Secretariat and the SEC, DTI, or CDA for the purpose of validating Section 54.3.1.a or the Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) for the purposes of validating Section 54.3.1.b of this IRR, in acceptable media such as but not limited to registered mails, facsimile of the reply with letterhead indicating the official agency telephone number in the transmitted document, or electronic mails sent through official webmail address of the agency;

b. A joint certification from the Business Permit and Licensing Office and Treasury Office of the concerned city or municipality, obtained and submitted by the end-user to the BAC, through the Secretariat, that the supplier/contractor/consultant has a valid Mayor's permit issued and has no overdue accounts, for the purposes of validating Section 54.3.1.c of this IRR;

c. A certification from the Head of BAC Secretariat that the supplier/contractor is registered in the PhilGEPS directory, for the purpose of validating Section 54.3.1.d of this IRR.

54.3.2 The BAC of the procuring entity shall maintain a registry system using the PhilGEPS or its own manual or electronic system that allows submission and/or recording/entry of eligibility requirements under Section 54.3.1 of this IRR simultaneously with registration in the same manner as Section 23.4 of this IRR. A separate registry may be established for suppliers/contractors/consultants exclusively for the purposes of alternative methods of procurement.

The current Section 54.3 to 54.5 shall be moved to Sec.54.4 to 54.6 accordingly.

I can see the noble intention. However, offhand i can see that it would be difficult to apply to certain AMP and what instantly comes to mind is shopping a) and nego in times of calamity. perhaps in the other instances we can be more specific and standardize the requirements...

Can you cite some instances where these proposed rules are difficult to apply? Please take note that Shopping and Negotiated Procurement are only exceptions based on the existence of GPPB Resolution No.09-2010. The foregoing documents should be clear and categorical enough.

This only means halimbawa spareparts or vulcanizing shop for your old rusted vehicle na walang spare tire (hehe joke lang po) tignan mo lang kung may DTI, ask mo kung gano na katagal sa business etc. OTHER MEANS PO pwede under GPPB Reso 9-2009 (j). Bahala ka na sa interpretation po.
