Procedure for the procurement of consulting service - DOH

DOH CUSTOMIZED PROCUREMENT MANUAL VOLUME 4 2010
Immediately after the BAC has notified the first bidder of its post-disqualification,
and notwithstanding any pending request for reconsideration thereof, the BAC
shall initiate and complete the same post-qualification process on the bidder with
the second HRB. If the second bidder passes the post-qualification, and provided
that the request for reconsideration of the first bidder has been denied, the second
bidder shall be post-qualified as the bidder with the Highest Rated Responsive Bid
(Section 34.6 of the Revised IRR).
If the second bidder, however, fails the post-qualification, the procedure for postqualification
shall be repeated for the bidder with the next HRB, and so on until the
HRRB, as the case may be, is determined for award, subject to Section 37 of the
revised IRR (Section 34.7 of the revised IRR).
3.7 Failure of all qualified bidders to pass post-qualification
4. PROCEDURES
If no bidder passes post-qualification, the BAC should declare the bidding a failure. In such
a case, the BAC shall issue a Resolution declaring a failure of bidding. In order to
determine the reason for the failed bidding, the BAC shall conduct a mandatory review and
evaluation of the terms, conditions, and specifications in the Bidding Documents, including
its cost estimates (Section 35.2 of the revised IRR). Based on its findings, the BAC shall
revise the terms, conditions, and specifications, and if necessary, adjust the ABC, subject
to the required approvals, and conduct a re-bidding with re-advertisement and/or posting,
as provided for in Section 21.2 (Section 35.3 of the revised IRR 35.3). All bidders who
have initially responded to the REI and have been declared eligible or short listed in the
previous biddings shall be allowed to submit new bids. The BAC shall observe the same
process and set the new periods according to the same rules followed during the previous
bidding (Section 35.4 of the revised IRR).
Should there occur a second failure of bidding, the procuring entity may resort to
negotiated procurement, as provided for in Section 53.1 of the revised IRR of R.A. 9184
(Section 35.5 of the revised IRR).
The following steps are followed in the conduct of post-qualification:
a. The BAC, through the Secretariat, shall notify the consultant with the HRB to submit
additional documentary requirements as enumerated in Section 34.2 of the revised IRR
and Section 3.4 of this manual to facilitate with the conduct of post-qualification. Noncompliance
of the consultant with the HRB shall be ground for the forfeiture of the bid
security tendered and the cause for disqualification.
b. The BAC/TWG verifies, validates, and ascertains the genuineness, validity and accuracy
of the legal, technical and financial documents submitted by the bidder with the LCB, using
the non-discretionary criteria described above.
