APPROVING AMENDMENTS TO THE IMPLEMENTING RULES AND

REGULATIONS OF REPUBLIC ACT NO. 9184 REQUIRING MANDATORY
REGISTRATION OF PROSPECTIVE BIDDERS WITH THE PHILGEPS
UNDER PLATINUM MEMBERSHIP

WHEREAS, Section 63 of Republic Act (RA) No. 9184 mandates the Government
Procurement Policy Board (GPPB) to formulate and amend, whenever necessary, the
Implementing Rules and Regulations (IRR) of RA 9184;

WHEREAS, Section 8 of RA 9184 provides that to promote transparency and

efficiency, information and communications technology shall be utilized in the conduct of
procurement procedures. The Philippine Government Electronic Procurement System
(PhilGEPS) shall serve as the primary and definitive source of information on government
procurement opportunities, and, the GPPB is authorized to approve changes in the
procurement process to adapt to improvements in modern technology, provided, that such
modifications are consistent with the provisions of Section 3 of RA 9184;

WHEREAS, Section 8.2.2(a) of the IRR of RA 9184 states that the PhilGEPS shall
have a centralized electronic database of all manufacturers, suppliers, distributors,
contractors, and consultants registered under the system;

WHEREAS, Government of the Philippines-Official Merchants Registry (GOP-OMR)

refers to the centralized electronic database of manufacturers, suppliers, distributors,
contractors, and consultants developed and maintained by the PhilGEPS office pursuant to
Section 8.2.2 of the Revised IRR of RA 9184;

WHEREAS, Section 8.5.1 of the IRR of RA 9184 also provides that to ensure the
widest dissemination of the Invitation to Bid/Request for Expression of Interest,
manufacturers, suppliers, distributors, contractors, and/or consultants shall register with the
PhilGEPS, and that they may then participate in procurement activities, provided, that they
maintain their registration current and updated in accordance with the provisions of the IRR
of RA 9184, and their registration is proper and relevant to the particular type of
procurement;

WHEREAS, Section 8.5.2 of the IRR of RA 9184 allows the submission of eligibility
requirements to the PhilGEPS either electronically or manually. When a manufacturer,
supplier, distributor, contractor, or consultant registers with PhilGEPS, it shall submit along
with the requirements a certification stating that the documents submitted are complete and
authentic copies of the original, and all statements and information provided therein are true
and correct. Thereafter, the PhilGEPS shall issue a Certificate of Registration and
Membership that can be used for purposes of Sections 23.4 and 24.4.3.

WHEREAS, Sections 23.4 and 24.4.3 of the IRR of RA 9184 provide that “[t]o
facilitate determination of eligibility, the Bids and Awards Committee (BAC) of a procuring

GPPB Resolution No. 05-2015, dated 30 January 2015 page 1 of 17

entity may use the contents of the PhilGEPS electronic registry of manufacturers, suppliers,
distributors, contractors, and/or consultants;”

WHEREAS, Sections 23.4.1 and 24.4.3.1 of the IRR of RA 9184 require that the
PhilGEPS registry system contains the Class “A” documents, which should be maintained
current and updated by the bidder concerned at least once a year or more frequently as may
be necessary;

WHEREAS, Sections 23.4.2 and 24.4.3.2 of the IRR of RA 9184 provide that “[a]
bidder who maintains a current and updated file of his Class “A” Documents may submit to
the procuring entity in lieu of the said documents, the Certificate of Registration and
Membership issued by PhilGEPS pursuant to Section 8.5.2 of the IRR of RA 9184;

WHEREAS, the Guidelines for the Use of the Government of the Philippines-Official
Merchants Registry (GOP-OMR) 1 prescribes the procedures for the registration and
membership in the GOP-OMR. Under the Guidelines, the PhilGEPS shall not determine the
eligibility of merchants. The approval of application of the merchant shall amount to the
registration of the merchant in the GOP-OMR. A merchant’s registration and membership in
the GOP-OMR is neither contract-specific nor understood to be tantamount to a finding of
eligibility. The determination of the eligibility of merchants remains with the BAC.

WHEREAS, all PhilGEPS registered suppliers, regardless of classification, are now

listed in the GOP-OMR. At present, PhilGEPS implemented a new membership scheme for
suppliers utilizing the PhilGEPS, thus:

opening and preliminary examination of bids. Such disqualification of bidders at the initial
stage of the procurement process may delay the government procurement process since it
may ultimately result in a failure of bidding;

WHEREAS, the GPPB - Technical Support Office (GPPB-TSO) proposed to simplify

the requirements to be submitted during the preliminary examination of bids, by requiring
prospective bidders to submit PhilGEPS Certificate of Registration and Membership under
Platinum Membership. Thus, during the preliminary examination of bids the prospective
bidders shall submit only a Certificate of PhilGEPS Registration and Membership for
Platinum Members in lieu of the applicable Class “A” eligibility documents enumerated in
Sections 23.1(a) and 24.1(a) of the IRR of RA 9184, except those requirements that are
contract specific, such as the Statement of all ongoing contracts and the Statement identifying
the bidder’s Single Largest Completed Contract for procurement of Goods and Infrastructure
Projects; and the Statement of all ongoing and completed contracts for procurement of
Consulting Services;

WHEREAS, the current system allows government procuring entities, through the
PhilGEPS website, to view and confirm the Certificates of Registration and Membership
issued to merchants. In addition, the PhilGEPS Certificate of Registration and Membership
for Platinum Members indicates that the procuring entity reserves the right to verify, validate,
and ascertain the authenticity, completeness and truthfulness of all the submitted documents
in the system. Thus, these documents will still be subjected to verification, validation, and
ascertainment by the procuring entities during the post-qualification stage;

WHEREAS, since only the Certificate of PhilGEPS Registration and Membership will
be required during the preliminary examination of bids in lieu of the applicable Class “A”
eligibility documents, occasions for disqualification of bidders and failures of bidding will be
lessened. In addition, the government can play a big part in reducing the use of paper, thereby
saving our forests, and mitigate the worsening effects of climate change;

WHEREAS, during the 1st GPPB Meeting held on 30 January 2015, the mandatory
submission of the applicable Class “A” eligibility documents through the PhilGEPS registry
system under the Platinum Membership registration was discussed;

WHEREAS, after careful and judicious deliberations on the matter, the GPPB found
sufficient reasons and justifications to require prospective bidders to register with the
PhilGEPS under Platinum Membership, and allow only the submission of a PhilGEPS
Certificate of Registration and Membership in lieu of the applicable Class “A” eligibility
documents contained in the first envelope; and

WHEREAS, the mandatory submission of the Certificate of PhilGEPS Registration and

Membership under Platinum Membership shall take effect on 1 June 2015, to give enough
time to Suppliers, Contractors, and Consultants to comply with the requirements, and for
PhilGEPS to update its facility to accommodate the procedure.

NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the foregoing, WE, the Members of
the GOVERNMENT PROCUREMENT POLICY BOARD, by virtue of the powers vested on US by
law, hereby RESOLVE to confirm, adopt and approve, as WE hereby confirm, adopt and
approve the following, relative to the mandatory requirement of Platinum Membership
