THE Department of Budget and Management (DBM) said government agencies no longer need to obtain a multi-year contractual authority (MYCA) to renew routine services repeatedly procured over the past three years.

In a Jan. 29 circular, Acting Budget Secretary Rolando U. Toledo said amendments to the MYCA rules now exempt "regular and recurring services" such as janitorial, security, and maintenance contracts.

It said the eased rules are aligned with Section 18 of Republic Act No. 12009, the National Government Procurement Act, and its implementing rules and regulations.
