Preface
These Philippine Bidding Documents (PBDs) for the procurement of Goods through
Competitive Bidding have been prepared by the Government of the Philippines (GOP) for

government, including government-owned and/or -controlled corporations (GOCCs),
government financial institutions (GFIs), state universities and colleges (SUCs), and local
government units (LGUs) and autonomous regional government. The procedures and
practices presented in this document have been developed through broad experience, and are
 for mandatory1 use in projects that are financed in whole or in part by the GOP or any
foreign government/foreign or international financing institution in accordance with the
provisions of the 2016 Revised Implementing Rules and Regulations (IRR) of Republic Act
(RA) 9184.

The Bidding Documents shall clearly and adequately define, among others: (a) the
objectives, scope, and expected outputs and/or results of the proposed contract; (b) the
eligibility requirements of bidders, such as track record to be determined by the Head of the
Procuring Entity; (c) the expected contract duration, the estimated quantity in the case of
procurement of goods, delivery schedule and/or time frame; and (d) the obligations, duties,
and/or functions of the winning bidder.

In order to simplify the preparation of the Bidding Documents for each procurement,
the PBDs groups the provisions that are intended to be used unchanged in

1 Unless the Treaty or International or Executive Agreement expressly provides use of foreign government/foreign
or international financing institution procurement guidelines.

Bidding Forms.

Care should be taken to check the relevance of the provisions of the PBDs against the
requirements of the specific Goods to be procured. In addition, each section is prepared with
notes intended only as information for the Procuring Entity or the person drafting the
Bidding Documents. They shall not be included in the final documents, except for the notes
introducing Section VIII. Bidding Forms where the information is useful for the Bidder.
The following general directions should be observed when using the documents:

(a) All the documents listed in the Table of Contents are normally required for the
procurement of Goods. However, they should be adapted as necessary to the
circumstances of the particular Project.

(b) Specific details, such as the “name of the Procuring Entity” and “address for bid
submission,” should be furnished in the ITB, BDS, and SCC. The final
documents should contain neither blank spaces nor options.

(c) This Preface and the footnotes or notes in italics included in the Invitation to Bid,
BDS, SCC, Schedule of Requirements, and Specifications are not part of the text
of the final document, although they contain instructions that the Procuring Entity
should strictly follow. The Bidding Documents should contain no footnotes
except Section VIII. Bidding Forms since these provide important guidance to
Bidders.

(d) The cover should be modified as required to identify the Bidding Documents as to
the names of the Project, Contract, and Procuring Entity, in addition to date of
issue.

(e) If modifications must be made to bidding requirements, they can be presented in

the BDS. Modifications for specific Project or Contract details should be provided

3. Corrupt, Fraudulent, Collusive, and Coercive Practices

3.1. Unless otherwise specified in the BDS, the Procuring Entity as well as the bidders

(a) defines, for purposes of this provision, the terms set forth below as
follows:

(i) “corrupt practice” means behaviour on the part of officials in the

public or private sectors by which they improperly and unlawfully

the position in which they are placed, and includes the offering,
giving, receiving, or soliciting of anything of value to influence the
action of any such official in the procurement process or in

the same, whether or not the public officer profited or will profit
thereby, and similar acts as provided in RA 3019.

(ii) “fraudulent practice” means a misrepresentation of facts in order to

influence a procurement process or the execution of a contract to
the detriment of the Procuring Entity, and includes collusive
practices among Bidders (prior to or after bid submission)
designed to establish bid prices at artificial, non-competitive levels
and to deprive the Procuring Entity of the benefits of free and open
competition.

(iii) “collusive practices” means a scheme or arrangement between two

or more Bidders, with or without the knowledge of the Procuring
Entity, designed to establish bid prices at artificial, non-

11
competitive levels.

 (iv) “coercive practices” means harming or threatening to harm,
directly or indirectly, persons, or their property to influence their
participation in a procurement process, or affect the execution of a
contract;

(v) “obstructive practice” is

(aa) deliberately destroying, falsifying, altering or concealing of

evidence material to an administrative proceedings or
investigation or making false statements to investigators in
order to materially impede an administrative proceedings or
investigation of the Procuring Entity or any foreign
government/foreign or international financing institution
into allegations of a corrupt, fraudulent, coercive or
collusive practice; and/or threatening, harassing or
intimidating any party to prevent it from disclosing its
knowledge of matters relevant to the administrative
proceedings or investigation or from pursuing such
proceedings or investigation; or

(bb) acts intended to materially impede the exercise of the

inspection and audit rights of the Procuring Entity or any

on the date indicated therein, to clarify and address the Bidders’ questions on the
technical and financial components of this Project.

(b) The pre-bid conference shall be held at least twelve (12) calendar days before
the deadline for the submission and receipt of bids, but not earlier than seven (7)
calendar days from the posting of the invitation to bid/bidding documents in the
PhilGEPS website. If the Procuring Entity determines that, by reason of the
method, nature, or complexity of the contract to be bid, or when international
participation will be more advantageous to the GOP, a longer period for the
preparation of bids is necessary, the pre-bid conference shall be held at least thirty
(30) calendar days before the deadline for the submission and receipt of bids, as
specified in the BDS.

9.2. Bidders are encouraged to attend the pre-bid conference to ensure that they fully
understand the Procuring Entity’s requirements. Non-attendance of the Bidder
will in no way prejudice its bid; however, the Bidder is expected to know the
changes and/or amendments to the Bidding Documents as recorded in the minutes
of the pre-bid conference and the Supplemental/Bid Bulletin. The minutes of the
pre-bid conference shall be recorded and prepared not later than five (5) calendar
days after the pre-bid conference. The minutes shall be made available to
prospective bidders not later than five (5) days upon written request.

9.3 Decisions of the BAC amending any provision of the bidding documents shall be
issued in writing through a Supplemental/Bid Bulletin at least seven (7) calendar
days before the deadline for the submission and receipt of bids.

10. Clarification and Amendment of Bidding Documents

10.1. Prospective bidders may request for clarification on and/or interpretation of any
part of the Bidding Documents. Such request must be in writing and submitted to
the Procuring Entity at the address indicated in the BDS at least ten (10) calendar
days before the deadline set for the submission and receipt of Bids.

10.2. The BAC shall respond to the said request by issuing a Supplemental/Bid
Bulletin, to be made available to all those who have properly secured the Bidding
Documents, at least seven (7) calendar days before the deadline for the
submission and receipt of Bids.

64
 10.3. Supplemental/Bid Bulletins may also be issued upon the Procuring Entity’s
initiative for purposes of clarifying or modifying any provision of the Bidding
Documents not later than seven (7) calendar days before the deadline for the
submission and receipt of Bids. Any modification to the Bidding Documents
shall be identified as an amendment.

10.4. Any Supplemental/Bid Bulletin issued by the BAC shall also be posted in the
PhilGEPS and the website of the Procuring Entity concerned, if available, and at
any conspicuous place in the premises of the Procuring Entity concerned. It shall
be the responsibility of all Bidders who have properly secured the Bidding
Documents to inquire and secure Supplemental/Bid Bulletins that may be issued
by the BAC. However, Bidders who have submitted bids before the issuance of
the Supplemental/Bid Bulletin must be informed and allowed to modify or
withdraw their bids in accordance with ITB Clause 23.

14. Alternative Bids

14.1 Alternative Bids shall be rejected. For this purpose, alternative bid is an offer
made by a Bidder in addition or as a substitute to its original bid which may be
included as part of its original bid or submitted separately therewith for purposes
of bidding. A bid with options is considered an alternative bid regardless of
whether said bid proposal is contained in a single envelope or submitted in two
(2) or more separate bid envelopes.

14.2 Each Bidder shall submit only one Bid, either individually or as a partner in a JV.
A Bidder who submits or participates in more than one bid (other than as a
subcontractor if a subcontractor is permitted to participate in more than one bid)
will cause all the proposals with the Bidder’s participation to be disqualified. This

64
 shall be without prejudice to any applicable criminal, civil and administrative
penalties that may be imposed upon the persons and entities concerned.

15. Bid Prices

15.1. The Bidder shall complete the appropriate Schedule of Prices included herein,
stating the unit prices, total price per item, the total amount and the expected
countries of origin of the Goods to be supplied under this Project.

15.2. The Bidder shall fill in rates and prices for all items of the Goods described in the
Schedule of Prices. Bids not addressing or providing all of the required items in
the Bidding Documents including, where applicable, Schedule of Prices, shall be
considered non-responsive and, thus, automatically disqualified. In this regard,
where a required item is provided, but no price is indicated, the same shall be
considered as non-responsive, but specifying a zero (0) or a dash (-) for the said
item would mean that it is being offered for free to the Government, except those
required by law or regulations to be accomplished.

15.3. The terms Ex Works (EXW), Cost, Insurance and Freight (CIF), Cost and
Insurance Paid to (CIP), Delivered Duty Paid (DDP), and other trade terms used
to describe the obligations of the parties, shall be governed by the rules prescribed
in the current edition of the International Commercial Terms (INCOTERMS)
published by the International Chamber of Commerce, Paris.

15.4. Prices indicated on the Price Schedule shall be entered separately in the following
manner:

(a) For Goods offered from within the Procuring Entity’s country:

(i) The price of the Goods quoted EXW (ex works, ex factory, ex
warehouse, ex showroom, or off-the-shelf, as applicable);

(ii) The cost of all customs duties and sales and other taxes already
paid or payable;

(iii) The cost of transportation, insurance, and other costs incidental to

delivery of the Goods to their final destination; and

(iv) The price of other (incidental) services, if any, listed in the BDS.

(b) For Goods offered from abroad:

(i) Unless otherwise stated in the BDS, the price of the Goods shall be
quoted DDP with the place of destination in the Philippines as
specified in the BDS. In quoting the price, the Bidder shall be free
to use transportation through carriers registered in any eligible
country. Similarly, the Bidder may obtain insurance services from
any eligible source country.

(ii) The price of other (incidental) services, if any, listed in the BDS.

(c) For Services, based on the form which may be prescribed by the Procuring
Entity, in accordance with existing laws, rules and regulations

15.5. Prices quoted by the Bidder shall be fixed during the Bidder’s performance of the
contract and not subject to variation or price escalation on any account. A bid
submitted with an adjustable price quotation shall be treated as non-responsive
and shall be rejected, pursuant to ITB Clause 24.

64
 All bid prices for the given scope of work in the contract as awarded shall be
considered as fixed prices, and therefore not subject to price escalation during
contract implementation, except under extraordinary circumstances. Upon the
recommendation of the Procuring Entity, price escalation may be allowed in
extraordinary circumstances as may be determined by the National Economic and
Development Authority in accordance with the Civil Code of the Philippines, and
upon approval by the GPPB. Nevertheless, in cases where the cost of the awarded
contract is affected by any applicable new laws, ordinances, regulations, or other
acts of the GOP, promulgated after the date of bid opening, a contract price
adjustment shall be made or appropriate relief shall be applied on a no loss-no
gain basis.

16. Bid Currencies

16.1. Prices shall be quoted in the following currencies:

(a) For Goods that the Bidder will supply from within the Philippines, the
prices shall be quoted in Philippine Pesos.

(b) For Goods that the Bidder will supply from outside the Philippines, the
prices may be quoted in the currency(ies) stated in the BDS. However, for
purposes of bid evaluation, bids denominated in foreign currencies shall
be converted to Philippine currency based on the exchange rate as
published in the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) reference rate bulletin
on the day of the bid opening.

16.2. If so allowed in accordance with ITB Clause 16.1, the Procuring Entity for
purposes of bid evaluation and comparing the bid prices will convert the amounts
in various currencies in which the bid price is expressed to Philippine Pesos at the
foregoing exchange rates.

16.3. Unless otherwise specified in the BDS, payment of the contract price shall be
made in Philippine Pesos.

17. Bid Validity

17.1. Bids shall remain valid for the period specified in the BDS which shall not exceed
one hundred twenty (120) calendar days from the date of the opening of bids.

17.2. In exceptional circumstances, prior to the expiration of the bid validity period, the
Procuring Entity may request Bidders to extend the period of validity of their
bids. The request and the responses shall be made in writing. The bid security
described in ITB Clause 18 should also be extended corresponding to the
extension of the bid validity period at the least. A Bidder may refuse the request
without forfeiting its bid security, but his bid shall no longer be considered for
further evaluation and award. A Bidder granting the request shall not be required
or permitted to modify its bid.

18. Bid Security

18.1. The Bidder shall submit a Bid Securing Declaration or any form of Bid Security
in the amount stated in the BDS, which shall be not less than the percentage of the
ABC in accordance with the following schedule:

among others, that the Bidder shall enter into contract with the procuring entity
and furnish the performance security required under ITB Clause 33.2, within ten
(10) calendar days from receipt of the Notice of Award, and commits to pay the
corresponding amount as fine, and be suspended for a period of time from being
qualified to participate in any government procurement activity in the event it
violates any of the conditions stated therein as provided in the guidelines issued
by the GPPB.

18.2. The bid security should be valid for the period specified in the BDS. Any bid not
accompanied by an acceptable bid security shall be rejected by the Procuring
Entity as non-responsive.

18.3. No bid securities shall be returned to Bidders after the opening of bids and before
contract signing, except to those that failed or declared as post-disqualified, upon
submission of a written waiver of their right to file a request for reconsideration
and/or protest, or upon the lapse of the reglementary period to file a request for
reconsideration or protest. Without prejudice on its forfeiture, bid securities shall
be returned only after the Bidder with the Lowest Calculated Responsive Bid
(LCRB) has signed the contract and furnished the performance security, but in no
case later than the expiration of the bid security validity period indicated in ITB
Clause 18.2.

64
 18.4. Upon signing and execution of the contract pursuant to ITB Clause 32, and the
posting of the performance security pursuant to ITB Clause 33, the successful
Bidder’s bid security will be discharged, but in no case later than the bid security
validity period as indicated in the ITB Clause 18.2.

18.5. The bid security may be forfeited:

(a) if a Bidder:

(i) withdraws its bid during the period of bid validity specified in ITB
Clause 17;

28.3(b);

(iii) has a finding against the veracity of any of the documents

submitted as stated in ITB Clause 29.2;

(iv) submission of eligibility requirements containing false information

order to influence the outcome of eligibility screening or any other
stage of the public bidding;

(vi) allowing the use of one’s name, or using the name of another for
purposes of public bidding;

(vii) withdrawal of a bid, or refusal to accept an award, or enter into

24.2. Unless otherwise specified in the BDS, the BAC shall open the first bid envelopes
and determine each Bidder’s compliance with the documents prescribed in ITB
Clause 12, using a non-discretionary “pass/fail” criterion. If a Bidder submits the
required document, it shall be rated “passed” for that particular requirement. In
this regard, bids that fail to include any requirement or are incomplete or patently
insufficient shall be considered as “failed”. Otherwise, the BAC shall rate the said
first bid envelope as “passed”.

24.3. Unless otherwise specified in the BDS, immediately after determining compliance
with the requirements in the first envelope, the BAC shall forthwith open the
second bid envelope of each remaining eligible bidder whose first bid envelope
was rated “passed”. The second envelope of each complying bidder shall be
opened within the same day. In case one or more of the requirements in the
second envelope of a particular bid is missing, incomplete or patently insufficient,
and/or if the submitted total bid price exceeds the ABC unless otherwise provided
in ITB Clause 13.2, the BAC shall rate the bid concerned as “failed”. Only bids
that are determined to contain all the bid requirements for both components shall
be rated “passed” and shall immediately be considered for evaluation and
comparison.

envelope containing the corresponding withdrawn bid shall be returned to the
Bidder unopened.

equivalent documents, if any, issued by the country of the foreign Bidder
concerned, which shall likewise be uploaded and maintained in the PhilGEPS in

for the preceding calendar year which should not be earlier than two years
from the date of bid submission.

24.7. Each partner of a joint venture agreement shall likewise submit the requirements
in ITB Clause 12.1(a)(i). Submission of documents required under ITB Clauses

64
 12.1(a)(ii) to 12.1(a)(iii) by any of the joint venture partners constitutes
compliance.

24.8. The Procuring Entity shall prepare the minutes of the proceedings of the bid
opening that shall include, as a minimum: (a) names of Bidders, their bid price
(per lot, if applicable, and/or including discount, if any), bid security, findings of
preliminary examination, and whether there is a withdrawal or modification; and

24.8 The bidders or their duly authorized representatives may attend the opening of
bids. The BAC shall ensure the integrity, security, and confidentiality of all
submitted bids. The Abstract of Bids as read and the minutes of the bid opening

BAC Secretariat shall notify in writing all bidders whose bids it has received
through its PhilGEPS-registered physical address or official e-mail address. The
notice shall be issued within seven (7) calendar days from the date of the bid
opening.

Evaluation and Comparison of Bids

25. Process to be Confidential

25.1. Members of the BAC, including its staff and personnel, as well as its Secretariat
and TWG, are prohibited from making or accepting any kind of communication
with any bidder regarding the evaluation of their bids until the issuance of the
Notice of Award, unless otherwise allowed in the case of ITB Clause 26.

25.2. Any effort by a bidder to influence the Procuring Entity in the Procuring Entity’s
decision in respect of bid evaluation, bid comparison or contract award will result
in the rejection of the Bidder’s bid.

26. Clarification of Bids

To assist in the evaluation, comparison, and post-qualification of the bids, the Procuring
Entity may ask in writing any Bidder for a clarification of its bid. All responses to
requests for clarification shall be in writing. Any clarification submitted by a Bidder in
respect to its bid and that is not in response to a request by the Procuring Entity shall not
be considered.

27. Domestic Preference

27.1. Unless otherwise stated in the BDS, the Procuring Entity will grant a margin of
preference for the purpose of comparison of bids in accordance with the
following:

(a) The preference shall be applied when the lowest Foreign Bid is lower than
the lowest bid offered by a Domestic Bidder.

(b) For evaluation purposes, the lowest Foreign Bid shall be increased by
fifteen percent (15%).

(c) In the event that the lowest bid offered by a Domestic Bidder does not
exceed the lowest Foreign Bid as increased, then the Procuring Entity shall
award the contract to the Domestic Bidder at the amount of the lowest
Foreign Bid.

64
 (d) If the Domestic Bidder refuses to accept the award of contract at the
amount of the Foreign Bid within two (2) calendar days from receipt of
written advice from the BAC, the Procuring Entity shall award to the
bidder offering the Foreign Bid, subject to post-qualification and
submission of all the documentary requirements under these Bidding
Documents.

27.2. A Bidder may be granted preference as a Domestic Bidder subject to the

certification from the DTI that the Bidder is offering unmanufactured articles,
materials or supplies of the growth or production of the Philippines, or
manufactured articles, materials, or supplies manufactured or to be manufactured
in the Philippines substantially from articles, materials, or supplies of the growth,
production, or manufacture, as the case may be, of the Philippines.

28. Detailed Evaluation and Comparison of Bids

28.1. The Procuring Entity will undertake the detailed evaluation and comparison of
bids which have passed the opening and preliminary examination of bids,
pursuant to ITB Clause 24, in order to determine the Lowest Calculated Bid.

28.2. The Lowest Calculated Bid shall be determined in two steps:

(a) The detailed evaluation of the financial component of the bids, to establish
the correct calculated prices of the bids; and

(b) The ranking of the total bid prices as so calculated from the lowest to the
highest. The bid with the lowest price shall be identified as the Lowest
Calculated Bid.

28.3. The Procuring Entity’s BAC shall immediately conduct a detailed evaluation of
all bids rated “passed,” using non-discretionary pass/fail criteria. The BAC shall
consider the following in the evaluation of bids:

(a) Completeness of the bid. Unless the BDS allows partial bids, bids not
addressing or providing all of the required items in the Schedule of
Requirements including, where applicable, Schedule of Prices, shall be
considered non-responsive and, thus, automatically disqualified. In this
regard, where a required item is provided, but no price is indicated, the
same shall be considered as non-responsive, but specifying a zero (0) or a
dash (-) for the said item would mean that it is being offered for free to the
Procuring Entity, except those required by law or regulations to be
provided for; and

(b) Arithmetical corrections. Consider computational errors and omissions to

enable proper comparison of all eligible bids. It may also consider bid
modifications. Any adjustment shall be calculated in monetary terms to
determine the calculated prices.

28.4. Based on the detailed evaluation of bids, those that comply with the above-
mentioned requirements shall be ranked in the ascending order of their total
calculated bid prices, as evaluated and corrected for computational errors,
discounts and other modifications, to identify the Lowest Calculated Bid. Total
calculated bid prices, as evaluated and corrected for computational errors,
discounts and other modifications, which exceed the ABC shall not be considered,
unless otherwise indicated in the BDS.

28.5. The Procuring Entity’s evaluation of bids shall be based on the bid price quoted in
the Bid Form, which includes the Schedule of Prices.

64
 28.6. Bids shall be evaluated on an equal footing to ensure fair competition. For this
purpose, all bidders shall be required to include in their bids the cost of all taxes,
such as, but not limited to, value added tax (VAT), income tax, local taxes, and
other fiscal levies and duties which shall be itemized in the bid form and reflected
in the detailed estimates. Such bids, including said taxes, shall be the basis for bid
evaluation and comparison.

28.7. If so indicated pursuant to ITB Clause 1.2, Bids are being invited for individual
lots or for any combination thereof, provided that all Bids and combinations of
Bids shall be received by the same deadline and opened and evaluated
simultaneously so as to determine the Bid or combination of Bids offering the
lowest calculated cost to the Procuring Entity. Bid prices quoted shall correspond
to all items specified for each lot and to all quantities specified for each item of a
lot. Bid Security as required by ITB Clause 18 shall be submitted for each
contract (lot) separately. The basis for evaluation of lots is specified in BDS
Clause 28.3.

29. Post-Qualification
29.1. The BAC shall determine to its satisfaction whether the Bidder that is evaluated
as having submitted the Lowest Calculated Bid complies with and is responsive to
all the requirements and conditions specified in ITB Clauses 5, 12, and 13.

29.2. Within a non-extendible period of five (5) calendar days from receipt by the
bidder of the notice from the BAC that it submitted the Lowest Calculated Bid,
the Bidder shall submit its latest income and business tax returns filed and paid
through the BIR Electronic Filing and Payment System (eFPS) and other
appropriate licenses and permits required by law and stated in the BDS.

Failure to submit any of the post-qualification requirements on time, or a finding

against the veracity thereof, shall disqualify the bidder for award. Provided in the
event that a finding against the veracity of any of the documents submitted is
made, it shall cause the forfeiture of the bid security in accordance with Section
69 of the IRR of RA 9184.

29.3. The determination shall be based upon an examination of the documentary

evidence of the Bidder’s qualifications submitted pursuant to ITB Clauses 12 and
13, as well as other information as the Procuring Entity deems necessary and
appropriate, using a non-discretionary “pass/fail” criterion, which shall be
completed within a period of twelve (12) calendar days.

29.4. If the BAC determines that the Bidder with the Lowest Calculated Bid passes all
the criteria for post-qualification, it shall declare the said bid as the LCRB, and
recommend to the HoPE the award of contract to the said Bidder at its submitted
price or its calculated bid price, whichever is lower.

29.5. A negative determination shall result in rejection of the Bidder’s Bid, in which
event the Procuring Entity shall proceed to the next Lowest Calculated Bid with a
fresh period to make a similar determination of that Bidder’s capabilities to
perform satisfactorily. If the second Bidder, however, fails the post qualification,
the procedure for post qualification shall be repeated for the Bidder with the next
Lowest Calculated Bid, and so on until the LCRB is determined for
recommendation for contract award.

29.6. Within a period not exceeding fifteen (15) calendar days from the determination
by the BAC of the LCRB and the recommendation to award the contract, the
HoPE or his duly authorized representative shall approve or disapprove the said
recommendation.

64
 29.7. In the event of disapproval, which shall be based on valid, reasonable, and
justifiable grounds as provided for under Section 41 of the IRR of RA 9184, the
HoPE shall notify the BAC and the Bidder in writing of such decision and the
grounds for it. When applicable, the BAC shall conduct a post-qualification of the
Bidder with the next Lowest Calculated Bid. A request for reconsideration may be
filed by the bidder with the HoPE in accordance with Section 37.1.3 of the IRR of
RA 9184.

30. Reservation Clause

30.1. Notwithstanding the eligibility or post-qualification of a Bidder, the Procuring
Entity concerned reserves the right to review its qualifications at any stage of the
procurement process if it has reasonable grounds to believe that a
misrepresentation has been made by the said Bidder, or that there has been a
change in the Bidder’s capability to undertake the project from the time it
submitted its eligibility requirements. Should such review uncover any
misrepresentation made in the eligibility and bidding requirements, statements or
documents, or any changes in the situation of the Bidder which will affect its
capability to undertake the project so that it fails the preset eligibility or bid
evaluation criteria, the Procuring Entity shall consider the said Bidder as
ineligible and shall disqualify it from submitting a bid or from obtaining an award
or contract.

30.2. Based on the following grounds, the Procuring Entity reserves the right to reject
any and all bids, declare a Failure of Bidding at any time prior to the contract
award, or not to award the contract, without thereby incurring any liability, and
make no assurance that a contract shall be entered into as a result of the bidding:

(a) If there is prima facie evidence of collusion between appropriate public

officers or employees of the Procuring Entity, or between the BAC and
any of the Bidders, or if the collusion is between or among the bidders
themselves, or between a Bidder and a third party, including any act which
restricts, suppresses or nullifies or tends to restrict, suppress or nullify
competition;

(b) If the Procuring Entity’s BAC is found to have failed in following the
prescribed bidding procedures; or

(c) For any justifiable and reasonable ground where the award of the contract
will not redound to the benefit of the GOP as follows:

(i) If the physical and economic conditions have significantly changed

so as to render the project no longer economically, financially or
technically feasible as determined by the HoPE;

(ii) If the project is no longer necessary as determined by the HoPE;

and

(iii) If the source of funds for the project has been withheld or reduced
through no fault of the Procuring Entity.

30.3. In addition, the Procuring Entity may likewise declare a failure of bidding when:

(a) No bids are received;

(b) All prospective Bidders are declared ineligible;

64
 (c) All bids fail to comply with all the bid requirements or fail post-
qualification; or

(d) The bidder with the LCRB refuses, without justifiable cause to accept the
award of contract, and no award is made in accordance with Section 40 of
the IRR of RA 9184.

 Section VII. Technical Specifications

Notes for Preparing the Technical Specifications

A set of precise and clear specifications is a prerequisite for Bidders to respond

realistically and competitively to the requirements of the Procuring Entity without
qualifying their bids. In the context of Competitive Bidding, the specifications (e.g.
production/delivery schedule, manpower requirements, and after-sales service/parts)
must be prepared to permit the widest possible competition and, at the same time,
present a clear statement of the required standards of workmanship, materials, and
performance of the goods and services to be procured.. Only if this is done will the
objectives of transparency, equity, efficiency, fairness and economy in procurement be
realized, responsiveness of bids be ensured, and the subsequent task of bid evaluation
and post-qualification facilitated. The specifications should require that all items,
materials and accessories to be included or incorporated in the goods be new, unused,
and of the most recent or current models, and that they include or incorporate all
recent improvements in design and materials unless otherwise provided in the
Contract.

Samples of specifications from previous similar procurements are useful in this respect.
The use of metric units is encouraged. Depending on the complexity of the goods and
the repetitiveness of the type of procurement, it may be advantageous to standardize
the General Technical Specifications and incorporate them in a separate subsection.
The General Technical Specifications should cover all classes of workmanship,
materials, and equipment commonly involved in manufacturing similar goods.
Deletions or addenda should then adapt the General Technical Specifications to the
particular procurement.

Care must be taken in drafting specifications to ensure that they are not restrictive. In the
specification of standards for equipment, materials, and workmanship, recognized
Philippine and international standards should be used as much as possible. Where
other particular standards are used, whether national standards or other standards, the
specifications should state that equipment, materials, and workmanship that meet other
authoritative standards, and which ensure at least a substantially equal quality than the
standards mentioned, will also be acceptable. The following clause may be inserted in
the Special Conditions of Contract or the Technical Specifications.

Sample Clause: Equivalency of Standards and Codes

Wherever reference is made in the Technical Specifications to specific standards and codes
to be met by the goods and materials to be furnished or tested, the provisions of the latest
edition or revision of the relevant standards and codes shall apply, unless otherwise
expressly stated in the Contract. Where such standards and codes are national or relate to a
particular country or region, other authoritative standards that ensure substantial
equivalence to the standards and codes specified will be acceptable.

Reference to brand name and catalogue number should be avoided as far as possible;
where unavoidable they should always be followed by the words “or at least
equivalent.” References to brand names cannot be used when the Funding Source is
the GOP.

Where appropriate, drawings, including site plans as required, may be furnished by the
Procuring Entity with the Bidding Documents. Similarly, the Supplier may be

66
 requested to provide drawings or samples either with its Bid or for prior review by the
Procuring Entity during contract execution.

Bidders are also required, as part of the technical specifications, to complete their
statement of compliance demonstrating how the items comply with the specification.

67
 Technical Specifications
Item Statement of Compliance

Bidders must state here either “Comply”

or “Not Comply” against each of the
individual parameters of each
Specification stating the corresponding
performance parameter of the equipment
offered. Statements of “Comply” or “Not
Comply” must be supported by evidence
in a Bidders Bid and cross-referenced to
that evidence. Evidence shall be in the
form of manufacturer’s un-amended sales
literature, unconditional statements of
specification and compliance issued by
the manufacturer, samples, independent
test data etc., as appropriate. A statement
that is not supported by evidence or is
subsequently found to be contradicted by
the evidence presented will render the Bid
under evaluation liable for rejection. A
statement either in the Bidders statement
of compliance or the supporting evidence
that is found to be false either during Bid
evaluation, post-qualification or the
execution of the Contract may be
regarded as fraudulent and render the
Bidder or supplier liable for prosecution
subject to the provisions of ITB Clause
3.1(a)(ii) and/or GCC Clause 2.1(a)(ii).
