<strong>DOH</strong> CUSTOMIZED PROCUREMENT MANUAL VOLUME 4 2010<br />

The BAC specified that <strong>the</strong> attendance <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> firms in <strong>the</strong> pre-bid conference is mandatory, and that failure<br />

to attend would be considered as a ground <strong>for</strong> disqualification. All six (6) firms attended <strong>the</strong> pre-bid<br />

conference and <strong>the</strong> minutes <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> same were issued to <strong>the</strong> six (6) bidders on 26 February 2010.<br />

Five (5) <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> six (6) firms submitted <strong>the</strong>ir technical and financial proposals on or be<strong>for</strong>e 03 March 2010,<br />

10:00 A.M. at <strong>the</strong> BAC Conference Room, ground floor <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> agency‟s building. The sixth firm (Company<br />

F) arrived at <strong>the</strong> Conference Room at 10:05 A.M. and insisted that its technical and financial proposals<br />

should be accepted as <strong>the</strong> representatives were in <strong>the</strong> building at 9:45 A.M., as recorded in <strong>the</strong> security<br />

guard‟s logbook. The BAC decided to accept <strong>the</strong> technical and financial proposals <strong>of</strong> Company F.<br />

The BAC started opening <strong>the</strong> technical envelopes <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> six (6) firms at <strong>the</strong> time indicated in <strong>the</strong> letter to<br />

determine <strong>the</strong> presence <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> required technical documents. All <strong>the</strong> firms, except Company F, submitted all<br />

<strong>the</strong> required technical documents. Company F was declared disqualified by <strong>the</strong> BAC <strong>for</strong> not submitting all<br />

<strong>the</strong> technical requirements. After agreeing with <strong>the</strong> declaration <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> BAC on its disqualification, Company<br />

F accepted its financial proposal that was returned unopened by <strong>the</strong> BAC.<br />

Prior to <strong>the</strong> detailed evaluation <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> technical documents submitted by <strong>the</strong> five (5) technically-complying<br />

firms, <strong>the</strong> BAC deliberated on <strong>the</strong> sub-criteria and <strong>the</strong> corresponding weights. To more appropriately<br />

consider <strong>the</strong> requirements <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> project, <strong>the</strong> general criteria were fur<strong>the</strong>r subdivided. Based on <strong>the</strong><br />

approved criteria, <strong>the</strong> BAC rated <strong>the</strong> five (5) firms, resulting in <strong>the</strong> following rankings:<br />

1. Company A – 88.5 points<br />

2. Company B – 81.5 points<br />

3. Company C – 71.5 points<br />

4. Company D – 68.0 points<br />

5. Company E – 65.5 points<br />

The BAC sent a letter to Company A dated 22 March 2010, in<strong>for</strong>ming <strong>the</strong> firm that it submitted <strong>the</strong> highest<br />

rated bid, thus, inviting it <strong>for</strong> <strong>the</strong> contract and financial negotiations on 26 March 2010 at 9:00 A.M. The<br />

authorized representative <strong>of</strong> Company A met with <strong>the</strong> BAC and discussed, among o<strong>the</strong>rs, its financial<br />

proposal. Upon opening <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> financial proposal <strong>of</strong> Company A, <strong>the</strong> submitted bid price was read as PhP<br />

3,300,000.00, exceeding <strong>the</strong> ABC by PhP 300,000.00. The BAC checked <strong>the</strong> calculation <strong>of</strong> Company A<br />

and it determined <strong>the</strong> correct bid price to be PhP 3,050,000.00, still exceeding <strong>the</strong> ABC by PhP 50,000.00.<br />

Company A <strong>of</strong>fered a discount <strong>of</strong> PhP 50,000.00 so that <strong>the</strong> cost <strong>of</strong> its financial proposal would not exceed<br />

<strong>the</strong> ABC. Satisfied with <strong>the</strong> high technical score obtained by Company A, <strong>the</strong> BAC accepted <strong>the</strong> discount<br />

<strong>of</strong>fered.<br />

Negotiations were successfully completed on 05 April 2010. Company A was considered to have submitted<br />

<strong>the</strong> Highest Rated and Responsive Bid after its successful post-qualification on 13 April 2010.<br />

The BAC deliberated and decided to award <strong>the</strong> contract to Company A. What steps, if any, are not<br />

consistent with <strong>the</strong> provisions <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> revised IRR relating to <strong>the</strong> <strong>procurement</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>consulting</strong> <strong>service</strong>s?<br />
