Securing Contracts Through Public Bidding

Did you know that the Philippine Government is also a customer that buys goods and services that it can use in its day-to-day operations? The Philippine Government does this through a procurement process where a competitive public bidding is made to determine which provider can best deliver the much-needed resources it can use for the public welfare. With the proper documents and an eye to details, your business may be the next to score a contract with the Government. 

 In this episode, Atty. Edrian Apaya, a prime mover and a Junior Partner at Gorriceta Africa Cauton and Saavedra, discusses Republic Act No. 9184 or the Government Procurement Reform Act of 2003. Ed will also guide prospective bidders in their attempt to participate in the entire procurement process and demystify some key areas that prospective bidders need to take a closer look on to ensure winning. He will also provide his insights on the latest developments in the procurement process and how the system can be improved for the benefit of all.
