6. The Bids and Awards Committee (BAC) of Laging Handa
National High School conducted a public bidding last January 26
for the procurement of goods needed by the school. Sikatuna
Office Supplies and Equipment won in the competitive bidding
and the date of Notice to Proceed (NTP) was January 31. Last
August 1, the school needs to replenish the goods procured so
the BAC decided not to have another public bidding.The BAC
resorted in Repeat Order and award the contract to the previous
bidding winner since the order did not exceed 25% of the
quantity of each item of the original contract. Furthermore, the
BAC did not split the requisition and purchase order. The
previous winning bidder also offered lower unit prices than that
provided in the original contract. Is the action of the BAC correct?
i. Yes, because the BAC did not exceed 25% of the quantity of
each item of the original contract and the previous winning bidder
offered lower unit prices.
ii. No, because the BAC should have conducted a public bidding
since the needed goods to be replinished exceeded 20% of the
quantity of each item of the original contract.
iii. No, because the BAC should have conducted a public bidding
since they availed it beyond six months from the contract
effectivity date stated in the NTP arising from the original contract.
iv. Yes, because the BAC availed it within seven months from the
contract effectivity date stated in the NTP arising from the original
contract and did not split the requisition and purchase order.
