The Bids and Awards Committee (BAC) is a crucial body responsible for overseeing procurement

activities, from pre-procurement conferences to recommending awards, ensuring transparency and


efficiency in government spending. Here's a breakdown of the BAC's structure and functions within the
local government:

1. Composition and Structure:

Mandate: Each procuring entity (like a province, city, or municipality) must establish a single BAC for its
procurement activities.

BAC Members: The BAC should have at least five (5) members, but not more than seven (7).

Chairperson: The BAC chairperson must be at least a third-ranking permanent official of the procuring
entity, excluding the head of the entity.

Designation: The local chief executive designates the BAC members, who are personnel occupying
plantilla positions within the procuring entity.

Secretariat: The agency should create a Secretariat, or designate an organic office, to act as the main
support unit for the BAC.

Jury Duty: To ensure timely procurement, BAC members are on a "jury duty" type of assignment,
prioritizing BAC tasks until the Notice of Award is issued.

2. Functions:

Pre-Procurement Conference: Facilitates discussions on technical and financial aspects of the bid and
eligibility requirements.

Bid Solicitation and Submission: Handles the public invitation of bids and the handling of submitted
bids.

Bid Evaluation: Determines the eligibility of prospective bidders, receives and opens bids, conducts
evaluation, and undertakes post-qualification proceedings.

Contract Award Recommendation: Recommends the award of contracts based on the bid evaluation
results.

Transparency: Utilizes information and communications technology to promote transparency and


efficiency in procurement procedures.

Procurement Manual: The GPPB developed a Procurement Manual for LGUs to guide local government
procurement practitioners through the different steps involved in the whole procurement process under
RA 9184 and its IRR.

3. Relevant Laws and Regulations:

Republic Act No. 9184: The primary law governing government procurement in the Philippines.

Implementing Rules and Regulations (IRR) of RA 9184: Provides detailed guidelines for implementing the
law.

Executive Order No. 40, Series of 2001: Consolidates procurement policies and procedures.

Local Government Code of the Philippines: Provides for the establishment of local pre-qualification,
bids and awards committees in every province, city, and municipality.
