Primary Text
Standardization of Procurement Process and Forms. - To systematize the procurement process, avoid confusion, and ensure transparency, the procurement process, including the forms to be used, shall be standardized insofar as practicable.
For this purpose, the GPPB shall pursue the development of generic procurement manuals and standard bidding forms, the use of which, once issued shall be mandatory upon all Procuring Entities. However, whenever necessary, to suit the particular needs of the Procuring Entity, modifications may be made particularly for major and specialized procurement, subject to the approval of the GPPB. In addition, the GPPB shall develop a decision-tree to be included in the IRR, that shall guide Procuring Entities on which mode of procurement is the most fit for their desired purpose.
