participants that <strong>the</strong> use <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> QBE procedure would be recommended in <strong>the</strong> selection <strong>of</strong> a prospective<br />

consultant. The head <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> agency approved <strong>the</strong> use <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> said evaluation procedure.<br />

The project, which has ABC <strong>of</strong> Three Million Pesos (PhP 3,000,000.00), was advertised on 03 and 09<br />

January 2010 in a newspaper <strong>of</strong> nationwide circulation, <strong>the</strong> agency‟s website, <strong>the</strong> PhilGEPS, and on<br />

conspicuous places within <strong>the</strong> agency‟s premises. Fifteen (15) firms responded by submitting <strong>the</strong>ir<br />

declared Company X as eligible.<br />

After evaluating <strong>the</strong> eligibility documents submitted by <strong>the</strong> eight (8) eligible bidders based on <strong>the</strong> criteria<br />

specified in <strong>the</strong> REI and Terms <strong>of</strong> Reference, <strong>the</strong> BAC determined <strong>the</strong> ratings <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> eight (8) bidders as<br />

6. Company F – 68.5 points<br />

7. Company G – 61.5 points<br />

8. Company X – 49.5 points<br />
