Angara requires early procurement planning in DepEd offices
The Philippine Star
|September 24, 2024
Following numerous procurement issues flagged by state auditors in previous years, Education Secretary Sonny Angara has enacted a new policy requiring offices within the Department of Education (DepEd) to start procurement planning even before the agency's budget is released.
Under DepEd Memorandum 049, all procurement activities of the agency are required to begin before the next fiscal year begins to prevent delays in the delivery of materials and wastage of perishable items such as food.
This means that DepEd offices may start posting procurement opportunities for contractors and for the agency's procurement team to recommend the awarding of contracts even before President Marcos approves the 2025 budget.
Based on its timeline, the bidding process for these projects will begin in October, with contracts expected to be awarded and Notices to Proceed issued by January 2025.
