WHEREAS, Republic Act (RA) No. 9184, otherwise known as the Government
Procurement Reform Act and its revised Implementing Rules and Regulations (IRR) took
effect on 26 January 2003 and 2 September 2009, respectively;
WHEREAS, Section 23.4.3 of the revised IRR of RA 9184 provides that if the
procuring entity maintains a registry system using the PhilGEPS or its own electronic system,
a prospective bidder, whether or not duly registered in either system, shall submit a written
Letter of Intent (LOI) and/or its application for eligibility and latest Class A documents, to
the BAC on or before the deadline specified in the Bidding Documents. Any application for
eligibility or updates submitted after the deadline for the submission of the LOI shall not be
considered for the bidding at hand;
WHEREAS, on 1 June 2012, the GPPB resolved to amend Section 23.4 of the IRR
through the issuance of Resolution No. 12-2012 which provides for the Guidelines for the
Use of the Government of the Philippines Official Merchants Registry (GOP-OMR
Guidelines). This Guideline provides that all existing electronic merchant registries used and
maintained by procuring entities shall be integrated into the GOP-OMR. The procuring
entity shall coordinate with the PhilGEPS office to determine whether the existing registry is
compatible with the GOP-OMR. After a finding of compatibility, the procuring entity shall
integrate its registry with the GOP-OMR. If the registries are incompatible, the procuring
entity shall cease using its registry and use the GOP-OMR. The procuring entity shall be
given sufficient amount of time to effect the shutdown of its electronic registry and the shift
to the use of the GOP-OMR.
WHEREAS, in its 10th Regular Meeting held on 23 November 2012, the GPPB
discussed and deliberated upon the request of DPWH to amend Section 23.4.3 of the revised
IRR of RA 89184 requiring the submission by a prospective bidder of an LOI in case the
procuring entity maintains a registry system using the PhilGEPS or its own electronic
system;
NOW, THEREFORE, for and in view of the foregoing, WE, the Members of the
GOVERNMENT PROCUREMENT POLICY BOARD, by virtue of the powers vested on US by law
and other executive issuances, hereby RESOLVE to confirm, adopt, and approve, as WE
hereby confirm, adopt, and approve the following:
DELETE Section 23.4.3 of the revised IRR of RA 9184, and the similar
provision under Section 24.4.3.3 of the same IRR, requiring the submission of
a written LOI and/or application of eligibility together with the latest Class
A Documents in case the procuring entity maintains a registry system using
the PhilGEPS or its own electronic system.
