The GPPB has developed a set of Philippine bidding documents (PBDs) for the following requirements of the organization using the competitive bidding process:
(i) Procurement of consulting services
(ii) Procurement of goods
(iii) Procurement of infrastructure services
The latest (4th) edition of these documents was prepared in December 2010 for mandatory use of all government agencies in accordance with RA 9184. Because there are no PBDs in hospital management services, the organization may develop a bidding document for that purpose, using as reference the existing PBDs. The closest reference are the PBDs for procuring consulting services, but BAC members should take note of the conditions described in the TOR. Where applicable, the provisions in the PBD could be lifted, and customization could be done where needed. (Further details on the bidding documents are found in Annex 11.)
