How Public Procurement Works in Philippines

Public buyers in Philippines advertise the bulk of their contracts through PhilGEPS. Domestic tendering is governed by the Government Procurement Reform Act (RA 9184), which sets the rules on competition, eligibility, and award, while internationally-funded projects additionally apply the procurement guidelines of the financing institution. Tender documents are generally issued in Filipino and English, and contract values are denominated in the Philippine peso (PHP). Tracking PhilGEPS together with the multilateral and bilateral sources on BidsFactory gives the most complete view of the Philippines market.
