“Actually sir ‘yon pong idea n’yan in the law is not really least cost, it’s a misnomer na kapag tinignan niyo ‘yong qualifier to award a contract — nauna lang kasi ‘yong ‘lowest’ eh, pero it’s a responsive bid against a technical specification,” Santiago said, referring to the GPRA.
“That’s why pinag-aaralan naman po nang maiigi ‘yong technical specifications at saka sabi natin if you increase your technical specs, you likewise increase your budget, they are conversely proportional, so kung ‘yong […] technical specifications niyo mataas, naturalamente mataas ang inyong ABC or the Approved Budget for the Contract,” he said.
“We’re also as of now doing some back on checking our GPRA, mag-iintroduce po tayo ng possible amendments sa ating batas, we will issue as soon as we have the amendments,” she said.“May existing bill sa Congress pero there are some items or provision that we want to include there,” she added. “‘Pag tinignan niyo ho ‘yong buong proseso ng procurement, unang tinitignan ‘yong eligibility, titignan kung tama ba ‘yong supplier na pag-aawardan mo, so you have your legal, technical, and financial eligibility,” he said.
