Republic Act 12009, also known as the New Government Procurement Act, is a robust anti-graft and corruption measure aimed at transforming the way government procurement is conducted.
By shifting the procurement criterion from the “Lowest Calculated Responsive Bid” to the “Most Economically Advantageous Responsive Bid,” the government is no longer compelled to choose the cheapest option, which often results in subpar outcomes. The introduction of an electronic procurement system, as outlined in the NGPA, further streamlines the bidding process, reducing the administrative burden and making it easier for private enterprises to engage in government projects.
Moreover, the NGPA institutionalizes sustainable public procurement practices, aligning the Philippines with global trends in green and socially responsible governance. The shift toward digitalization and innovative procurement practices indicates that the Philippines is striving to become more agile and responsive, both domestically and on a global scale.Effective monitoring, civil society participation, and the use of video recording in procurement-related conferences are crucial to maintaining the momentum of these reforms.
