Under the New Government Procurement Act, competitive bidding is no longer the default mode of procurement. Procuring Entities are now expected to choose the most appropriate mode of procurement based on the nature, value, complexity, urgency, and market conditions of the requirement.

But this flexibility does not mean contracts may be divided just to avoid the rules.

Contract splitting happens when a procurement requirement is artificially divided into smaller parts to avoid thresholds, approvals, competition requirements, or the proper mode of procurement.

The rule remains clear: procurement planning must be strategic, transparent, and justified. The chosen mode of procurement must support value for money, efficiency, accountability, and fair competition.

Abangan ang launch ng ating discussion on contract splitting and what it means for procurement practitioners under the NGPA.

Can your procurement plan stand up to budget, audit, and implementation realities under RA 12009?

Procurement does not begin with the purchase request, bidding, or award. It begins with proper planning.

The Government Procurement Policy Board - Technical Support Office has released the Strategic Procurement Planning and Budgeting Linkage Primer, a practical reference for Procuring Entities on how procurement planning connects with budgeting under the New Government Procurement Act and its IRR.

The primer discusses key planning concepts, including agency needs, project relevance, value for money, risk management, procurement strategy, disposal planning, PPMP and APP preparation, Indicative APP and Final APP, APP revisions, and strategic procurement considerations.

Under RA No. 12009 and its IRR, procurement must be undertaken with proper and sufficient planning and preparation, taking into account the needs of the Procuring Entity, project relevance, value for money, and associated risks.

After a time of reflection, we return to work with renewed purpose—and a stronger commitment to integrity in public service.

The New Government Procurement Act (RA 12009) has been recognized as one of the biggest anti-corruption measures in government procurement, introducing reforms that strengthen transparency, accountability, and public trust.

Today, the 𝗚𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗻𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗰𝘂𝗿𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗣𝗼𝗹𝗶𝗰𝘆 𝗕𝗼𝗮𝗿𝗱 - 𝗧𝗲𝗰𝗵𝗻𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝗦𝘂𝗽𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁 𝗢𝗳𝗳𝗶𝗰𝗲 (𝗚𝗣𝗣𝗕-𝗧𝗦𝗢) launches the Anti-Corruption Measures Primer under RA 12009 and its IRR—a practical guide that breaks down the key safeguards now embedded in our procurement system.

From livestreaming of procurement proceedings and open data disclosure, to the No Contact Rule, protest mechanisms, and blacklisting provisions, these reforms are designed to prevent undue influence, deter misconduct, and ensure that every peso of public funds is spent with integrity.

Because every peso deserves protection.

Isabela State University–Cauayan Campus has officially transitioned to a hybrid work and learning arrangement as a strategic response to rising fuel costs and the implementation of university-wide austerity measures.

According to Memorandum No. 042, s. 2026, the new guidelines dictate a schedule of two days for face-to-face activities on Monday and Tuesday, and the remaining two days for online or work-from-home modes, while maintaining the established Friday remote setup.

University President Boyet L. Batang emphasized that these measures are designed to minimize operational expenses like electricity and air conditioning without compromising the quality of instruction or the delivery of essential campus services.
