 Preface
These Philippine Bidding Documents (PBDs) for the procurement of Goods through
Competitive Bidding have been prepared by the Government of the Philippines for use by any
branch, constitutional commission or office, agency, department, bureau, office, or
instrumentality of the Government of the Philippines, National Government Agencies,
including Government-Owned and/or Controlled Corporations, Government Financing
Institutions, State Universities and Colleges, and Local Government Unit. The procedures and
practices presented in this document have been developed through broad experience, and are
for mandatory use in projects that are financed in whole or in part by the Government of the
Philippines or any foreign government/foreign or international financing institution in
accordance with the provisions of the 2016 revised Implementing Rules and Regulations of
Republic Act No. 9184.

The Bidding Documents shall clearly and adequately define, among others: (i) the
objectives, scope, and expected outputs and/or results of the proposed contract or Framework
Agreement, as the case may be; (ii) the eligibility requirements of Bidders; (iii) the expected
contract or Framework Agreement duration, the estimated quantity in the case of
procurement of goods, delivery schedule and/or time frame; and (iv) the obligations, duties,
and/or functions of the winning bidder.

Care should be taken to check the relevance of the provisions of the PBDs against the
requirements of the specific Goods to be procured. If duplication of a subject is inevitable in
other sections of the document prepared by the Procuring Entity, care must be exercised to
avoid contradictions between clauses dealing with the same matter.

Moreover, each section is prepared with notes intended only as information for the
Procuring Entity or the person drafting the Bidding Documents. They shall not be included in
the final documents. The following general directions should be observed when using the
documents:

a. All the documents listed in the Table of Contents are normally required for the
procurement of Goods. However, they should be adapted as necessary to the
circumstances of the particular Procurement Project.

b. Specific details, such as the “name of the Procuring Entity” and “address for bid
submission,” should be furnished in the Instructions to Bidders, Bid Data Sheet,
and Special Conditions of Contract. The final documents should contain
neither blank spaces nor options.

c. This Preface and the footnotes or notes in italics included in the Invitation to
Bid, Bid Data Sheet, General Conditions of Contract, Special Conditions of
Contract, Schedule of Requirements, and Specifications are not part of the text
of the final document, although they contain instructions that the Procuring
Entity should strictly follow.

d. The cover should be modified as required to identify the Bidding Documents as
to the Procurement Project, Project Identification Number, and Procuring
Entity, in addition to the date of issue.

e. Modifications for specific Procurement Project details should be provided in the

Special Conditions of Contract as amendments to the Conditions of Contract.
For easy completion, whenever reference has to be made to specific clauses in
the Bid Data Sheet or Special Conditions of Contract, these terms shall be
printed in bold typeface on Sections I (Instructions to Bidders) and III (General
Conditions of Contract), respectively.

f. For guidelines on the use of Bidding Forms and the procurement of Foreign-
Assisted Projects, these will be covered by a separate issuance of the
Government Procurement Policy Board.
