REQUIRING ALL DEPARTMENTS, AGENCIES, BUREAUS, OFFICES, INCLUDING
GOVERNMENT-OWNED AND/OR CONTROLLED CORPORATIONS TO ADOPT AND IMPLEMENT
THE ELECTRONIC BILLBOARD BIDDING (EBB) SYSTEM FOR ALL PUBLIC BIDDINGS
WHEREAS, being a public entity, the
government recognizes the necessity of maintaining transparency in all
its transactions, especially those involving disbursement or
acquisition of funds such as the sale of government assets, awarding of
contracts and projects, and procurements, through public
biddings;
WHEREAS, with the aid of new technology and innovation, a new bidding
procedure, named Electronic Billboard Bidding (EBB), was found to be
cost-efficient and effective in upholding the integrity of public
bidding;
WHEREAS, the Commission on Audit (COA), which exercises authority to
validate all public biddings, has stated that the EBB is perfectly in
accord with existing laws and issuances requiring public bidding as the
primary mode of awarding government contracts, procurement, and other
similar activities;
NOW THEREFORE, I, JOSEPH EJERCITO ESTRADA, President of the Republic of
the Philippines, by virtue of the powers vested in me by the
Constitution, do hereby direct all heads of departments, bureaus,
offices and agencies of the government, including government-owned
and/or controlled corporations to adopt and implement the Electronic
Billboard Bidding (EBB) system for all public biddings.
For purposes of clarification, attached is the procedure of conducting
the EBB system.
This directive shall take effect immediately.
