Said postponement is in light of restrictions on non-essential travel, work at Government Offices and the conduct of face-to-face meetings pursuant to IATF Resolution No. 104 dated 20 March 2021, which will take effect from 22 March to 04 April 2021. To ensure transparency and fairness in the procurement process, the NHCP Bids and Awards Committee decided to schedule all opening of bids on one day to maximize availability of all BAC members, secretariat, and third-party witnesses, at the same time minimizing risk of exposure to the SARS-CoV-2 pathogen for all parties concerned.

A maximum of one (1) representative from each company shall be allowed to witness the proceedings, provided that strict minimum health standards and hygiene protocols (i.e., routine disinfection of hands, clothes and personal effects, wearing of face mask and face shield at all times, and maintaining a one-meter distance from others) shall be constantly observed.

A link to a virtual meeting room (via the Zoom online videoconferencing application) shall be provided upon request to interested parties who want to observe the proceedings online. Requests for the URL, Meeting ID and Passcode may be sent to bacnhcp2020@gmail.com.

Opening of bids will be done in succession in the order enumerated above. Representatives from bidding companies who submitted bids for projects which are yet to be taken up by the BAC are advised to wait at the designated holding area in order to minimize the number of people present at the conference room at any time. Please refer to the fourth column (Revised Time of Opening) for a tentative estimate of the time each project is going to be taken up by the BAC, which is subject to change depending on how long the opening of bids for preceding projects shall take.

For the guidance and information of all concerned.
