A guide to the revised Procurement Law IRR

MANILA, Philippines — Experience has taught many erring public officials that ignorance of the updated procurement law cost them their jobs, perpetual disqualification from holding a government position, forfeiture of retirement pay, damages, jail time and irreparable negative reputation that is painful for them and their families.

This has also led to millions of lost business opportunities for the private sector due to questionable process after investing huge amount of time, money and effort in winning a government project only to be invalidated afterwards.

With the advocacy of educating the general public, the Center for Global Best Practices will have a rerun of its special program titled, “What You Must Know About the 2016 Procurement Law IRR,” on April 15 and 16, 2020 at the Marriott Grand Ballroom, Resorts World Complex, Pasay City.
