Transparent and effective procurement practices minimize expenditure and create opportunity. Procurement is an enormous component in the process by which governments build infrastructure, such as schools and hospitals. It involves the management of significant amounts of money and is therefore often the cause for allegations of corruption and government inefficiency. The difference between getting public procurement right and doing it wrong has the potential to be either highly rewarding, or highly damaging. In some nations, reforms implemented to improve the efficiency of public procurement have resulted in savings of 1% of a country's gross domestic product. One can see why public procurement is so significant to the development of a country and its people. Citizens have the right to expect their government to spend these funds for the good of the people. In the past, corruption, inefficiency, ignorance, and disorganization have resulted in billions of pesos worth of losses. It is with the importance of these issues in mind that this report is produced to report on the state of procurement in the Philippines today. A 2012 CPAR action plan integrating all the existing and proposed initiatives and recommendations to address the areas for improvement in the Public Procurement System is presented at the end of this report. The action plan provides the road map and agenda for procurement reforms to be undertaken by the government, together with its development partners during 2013-2016. Some of the priorities focus on strengthening monitoring and enforcement and procurement capacity, and improving procurement processes and practices, i.e., (i) implementation of the professionalization program, (ii) implementation of the Agency Procurement Compliance and Performance Indicator, or APCPI and development of mechanisms to enforce compliance, (iii) review and possible revision of the IRR to provide procedures for international competitive bidding, (iv) establishment of an independent complaints or protest review body and development of its governing rules and procedures, and (v) development and implementation of a framework to sustain and ensure CSO participation in procurement monitoring. The Philippine development forum sub-working Group on Procurement will continue to monitor the implementation of the action plan, ensure the availability of funding support and address issues that may arise during implementation.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOABUSEABUSESACCESS TO INFORMATIONACCOUNTABILITYACCOUNTABILITY MEASURESACTION PLANACTION PLANSADMINISTRATIVE UNITALLEGATIONS OF CORRUPTIONANNUAL PROCUREMENTANTICORRUPTIONANTICORRUPTION EFFORTSANTICORRUPTION MEASURESAUDITORAUDITORSAWARD OF CONTRACTSBALANCE SHEETSBANKSBEST PRACTICEBID DOCUMENTSBID EVALUATIONBID OPENINGBID OPENING PROCEDURESBIDDERBIDDING DOCUMENTSBIDSBUDGET APPROVALBUSINESS PROCESSBUSINESS REGISTRATIONBUYERSCAPABILITYCIVIL SOCIETYCIVIL SOCIETY ORGANIZATIONCIVIL SOCIETY ORGANIZATIONSCOLLUSIONCOMPETITIVENESSCOMPLAINTCOMPLAINTSCONDITIONS OF CONTRACTCONDUCT OF PROCUREMENTCONFLICT OF INTERESTCONSULTING FIRMSCONTRACT ADMINISTRATIONCONTRACT AWARDCONTRACT AWARD INFORMATIONCONTRACT MANAGEMENTCONTRACTORCONTRACTORSCORRUPTION PERCEPTIONCORRUPTION PERCEPTION INDEXCORRUPTION PREVENTIONCOUNTRY PROCUREMENT ASSESSMENTCOUNTRY PROCUREMENT ASSESSMENT REPORTDISCRETIONDISPUTE RESOLUTIONDOCUMENTARY REQUIREMENTSELECTRONIC BULLETIN BOARDELECTRONIC PROCUREMENTELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTSETHICSEVALUATION SYSTEMFINANCIAL INSTITUTIONFINANCIAL INSTITUTIONSFINANCIAL MANAGEMENTFINANCIAL MANAGEMENT SYSTEMSFOREIGN BIDDERFOREIGN BIDDERSFUNCTIONALITYGLOBAL ECONOMYGOOD GOVERNANCEGOOD PROCUREMENTGOVERNANCE REFORMSGOVERNMENT AGENCYGOVERNMENT BUDGETGOVERNMENT CONTRACTSGOVERNMENT OFFICIALSGOVERNMENT PROCUREMENTGOVERNMENT RECORDSGRAFTGRAPHICAL REPRESENTATIONGROWTH POTENTIALHARMONIZATIONINFORMATION SYSTEMINITIATIVEINSTITUTIONAL CAPACITYINSTITUTIONAL FRAMEWORKINTEGRITYINTERNAL CONTROL SYSTEMSINTERNATIONAL BIDDERSINTERNATIONAL COMPETITIVE BIDDINGINTERNATIONAL STANDARDSINVESTIGATIONJOINT VENTUREJUDICIARYJUSTICEKICKBACKSLAWSLEADERSHIPLEGAL BASISLEGAL FRAMEWORKLIMITED ACCESSLOCAL GOVERNMENTLOCAL GOVERNMENT PROCUREMENTMANUFACTURINGMEDIAMEDIUM ENTERPRISESMETHOD OF PROCUREMENTNATIONAL COMPETITIVE BIDDINGNATIONAL GOVERNMENT AGENCIESNATIONAL PROCUREMENTNATURAL RESOURCESOPEN COMPETITIONOPEN COMPETITIVE BIDDINGOUTSOURCINGPDFPENALTIESPERFORMANCE INDICATORPERFORMANCE INDICATORSPILOT TESTINGPOLICY FORMULATIONPRIVATE PARTNERSHIPPRIVATE SECTORPROCUREMENTPROCUREMENT ACTIONPROCUREMENT ACTIVITIESPROCUREMENT CAPACITYPROCUREMENT CONTRACTSPROCUREMENT ENVIRONMENTPROCUREMENT EXPENDITURESPROCUREMENT GUIDELINESPROCUREMENT LAWPROCUREMENT MANUALPROCUREMENT METHODPROCUREMENT METHODSPROCUREMENT MONITORINGPROCUREMENT OPERATIONSPROCUREMENT OPPORTUNITIESPROCUREMENT PERFORMANCEPROCUREMENT PERSONNELPROCUREMENT PLANPROCUREMENT PLANNINGPROCUREMENT PLANSPROCUREMENT POLICIESPROCUREMENT POLICYPROCUREMENT PRACTICESPROCUREMENT PROCEDURESPROCUREMENT PROCESSPROCUREMENT PROCESSESPROCUREMENT PROFESSIONPROCUREMENT REFORMPROCUREMENT REQUIREMENTSPROCUREMENT REVIEWPROCUREMENT RULESPROCUREMENT SPECIALISTPROCUREMENT SPECIALISTSPROCUREMENT STAFFPROCUREMENT TRAININGPROCUREMENT TRANSACTIONSPROCUREMENTSPROCURING ENTITYPUBLICPUBLIC FUNDSPUBLIC INFORMATIONPUBLIC OFFICIALSPUBLIC PROCUREMENTPUBLIC PROCUREMENT ENVIRONMENTPUBLIC PROCUREMENT MARKETPUBLIC PROCUREMENT PROCESSPUBLIC PROCUREMENT REGULATIONSPUBLIC PROCUREMENT SYSTEMPUBLIC PROCUREMENT SYSTEMSPUBLIC SECTOR PROCUREMENTPUBLIC WORKSQUALIFICATION REQUIREMENTSREGISTRYREGULATORY FRAMEWORKREMEDIESRESULTRESULTSSANCTIONSSERVICE DELIVERYSTANDARD BIDDINGSTANDARD BIDDING DOCUMENTSSUPERVISIONSUPPLIERSTECHNICAL ASSISTANCETECHNICAL ASSISTANCE PROJECTSTECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONSTECHNICAL SUPPORTTENDERSTRAINING COURSETRANSACTIONTRANSPARENCYTYPES OF PROCUREMENTUSABILITYUSERUSERSWEBWorld Bank10.1596/978-92-9254-324-2
