This is a web-based bidding facility for the procurement of goods, supplies and services of the Department of Finance.

The DOF ensures transparent, fair and competitive bidding procedures that facilitate market entry to the domestic suppliers.

The general criterion for contract award is based on the most economical and advantageous price offer/bid. In the procurement of goods and works, the contract is awarded to the bidder with the lowest responsive bid.

It has been the policy of the department to procure its requirements for goods, works and services from local suppliers/contractors. This policy has been liberalized in the interest of economy and cost-efficiency. For goods procured by the Government, suppliers/manufacturers should be at least 60 percent owned by Filipinos. For government-financed projects, civil works contractors should be at least 75 percent owned by Filipinos. Implementing Rules and Regulations for each procurement field have been formulated to standardize their respective procurement processes.

The procurement of the DOF is being administered by the Bids and Awards Committee (BAC) which composed of a Chairman, an Executive officer, a member and a Technical Committee Head. The General Services Division shall act as secretariat to the BAC and shall be headed by the Director of Central Administrations Office (CAO). Representatives of Commission of Audit are also invited as observer during the opening and pre-bid conference.
