DOH Customized Procurement Manuals (Volumes 1 to 4)
These Procurement Manuals are customized for the use of the Department of Health based on the GENERIC
PROCUREMENT MANUALS published by the Government Procurement Policy Board, through Technical Support Office.
The Manuals must be reviewed and updated periodically by the DOH as the GPPB introduces changes in the original
Manuals (2006) to ensure its applicability to existing conditions. The DOH shall submit to the GPPB its recommendations
for specific revisions to the original Manual. Any such revisions must be approved by the GPPB and must be consistent
with existing procurement law, rules, regulations, and policies. This edition has been approved by the GPPB on 25 June
2010.

This customization of the generic procurement manuals, issued by the GPPB, was made possible with the technical inputs from various
DOH procurement practitioners, committee members and other stakeholders from the Hospitals, Centers for Health Development,
Services and Bureaus in the Central Office especially the Procurement Service/COBAC Secretariat, the Inter-agency Technical Working
Group, and the GPPB Technical Support Office. The process has been initially facilitated by a Procurement Specialist, hired by the
TSO through the financial support of the World Bank.
The GPPB in October 2007 approved the DOH Customized Procurement Manual. However, it was not published. With the issuance of the
Revised Implementing Rules and Regulations of RA 9184, the DOH updated the Customized Manuals and submitted for GPPB’s approval
on March 2010.
