3) That the RFP does not provide that a consortium agreement
embodied in a single instrument to show the existence of the
joint venture; 14
4) That the development of a final version of a software will
only be made after a contract has been awarded to the
winning bidder. This is so because during the bidding
process there is still no final ballot design containing, among
others, the number and names of candidates, precint codes
and other election details. 15
5) That MPC was declared the winning bidder because it
submitted a bid of Php1,248,949,000.00 with a nationwide
coverage using 1,991 ACMs that has the capability to count
50 ballots per minute by the use of an automatic feeder. 16 In
contrast, TIMC, the losing bidder, submitted a bid of
Php1,297,000,000.00 (49 million higher than MPC) with
partial coverage (only for the NCR and Mindanao) using
2,272 ACMs that is capable of counting only 10 ballots per
minute through manual and not automatic feeding. 17
6) Prior to the bidding, COMELEC sent Requests for
Information (RFI) to the various Philippine embassies
abroad, to secure a pricing index for an automated election
