🚀𝗘𝘅𝗰𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗡𝗲𝘄𝘀!!!🚀

The Government Procurement Policy Board - Technical Support Office (GPPB-TSO) is excited to announce the back-to-back launch of the three (3) Innovative Digital Platforms designed to enhance transparency, accessibility, and efficiency in government procurement on 12 August 2024 at the GPPB-TSO Building in Quezon City! 🎉

The POP, developed through the technical assistance of the World Bank, is a key initiative of the GPPB-TSO in improving public monitoring through increased observer participation in government procurement activities. The POP is an online platform where observers from Civil Society Organizations, Non-Governmental Organizations, and Commission on Audit can register, access procurement information, and submit reports to the GPPB-TSO. The POP provides the Procuring Entities (PEs) an easier way to invite potential observers in their procurement activities through the wide range of observers' directories. This initiative marks a significant step towards strengthening transparency and enhancing accountability in public procurement.

With the leadership and initiative of the GPPB-TSO Executive Director Rowena Candice M. Ruiz, the NGPA Microsite was developed and established by the Information Management Division of the GPPB-TSO to house everything about Republic Act No. 12009. This innovation will provide the public with online resources and access to information related to the NGPA. To promote inclusivity and public participation in the preparation of the IRR, the NGPA Microsite is designed to be a vital resource for all stakeholders involved in government procurement.

This initiative offers ease of government services by offering 24/7 access to government procurement-related information. Billy Bayong will provide immediate response to queries, enhancing the accessibility of GPPB-TSO’s services and ensuring that stakeholder inquiries are addressed promptly and efficiently.
