GPPB Resolution No. 12-2026 dated 23 July 2026 Page 1 of 5 RESOLUTION NO. 12-2026 APPROVING THE GUIDELINES ON THE USE OF FRAMEWORK AGREEMENT UNDER REPUBLIC ACT NO. 12009 AND ITS IMPLEMENTING RULES AND REGULATIONS

WHEREAS, Republic Act (RA) No. 12009, otherwise known as the “New Government Procurement Act,” took effect on 13 August 2024, while its Implementing Rules and Regulations (IRR) took effect on 25 February 2025;

WHEREAS, Section 91 of RA No. 12009 mandates that the Government Procurement Policy Board (GPPB) shall be the central body that sets strategic direction and makes policy decisions regarding all matters affecting public procurement, having due regard to the country’s regional and international obligations, and is tasked to lead the nation’s efforts in advancing public procurement reforms in accordance with the Act;

WHEREAS, Section 91.1 (c) of the IRR of RA No. 12009 further authorizes the GPPB to formulate and amend, whenever necessary, the IRR of the Act, associated issuances and government procurement manuals, Philippine Bidding Documents and standard forms for procurement, and issue policy papers to ensure that the procurement process is streamlined and responsive to the needs of the government;

WHEREAS, Section 3 (d) of RA No. 12009 and its IRR mandate that government procurement shall be governed by the principle of proportionality, among others, by ensuring that the conditions and parameters in the development of requirements, choice of procurement modality, and implementation of contracts shall be reasonably proportional to the needs and circumstances of the Procuring Entity (PE), and the nature, scale and complexity of the project to be procured;

WHEREAS, Section 5 (m) of the IRR of RA No. 12009 defines Fit-for-Purpose as an approach to procurement that applies the most suitable mechanism or strategy designed to address the specific needs of the PE and each project, while promoting flexibility and responsiveness to different conditions and scenarios, based on factors or situations, such as, but not limited to, the nature and complexity of the project, market condition and readiness, urgency or risks, in order to ensure and achieve value for money;

WHEREAS, Section 16 of RA No. 12009 allows PEs to use a Framework Agreement as a procurement strategy to expand the pool of prospective bidders, take advantage of economies of scale, minimize the administrative burden of conducting separate procurement activities, and generate time and money savings;

WHEREAS, the same section further provides that the Framework Agreement shall be in the nature of an option contract between the PE and the bidder that stipulates the terms and conditions to be applied in subsequent contracts for the procurement of Goods, Infrastructure Projects, and Consulting Services with a single or multiple contractor, manufacturer, supplier, distributor, consultant, and service provider;

WHEREAS, the GPPB-Technical Support Office (TSO) drafted the Guidelines on the Use of Framework Agreement for the procurement of Goods, Infrastructure Projects, and Consulting Services, with technical assistance provided by the World Bank;

WHEREAS, to further enhance the proposed Guidelines, the GPPB-TSO conducted consultations with various stakeholders, with relevant inputs, comments, and suggestions duly considered and incorporated into the draft Guidelines;

WHEREAS, after further review of the subject proposal and upon recommendation by the GPPB-TSO and the GPPB Inter-Agency Technical Working Group (IATWG), the same was presented to the GPPB for consideration;

GPPB Resolution No. 12-2026 dated 23 July 2026 Page 2 of 5

WHEREAS, on 08 April 2026, the GPPB-TSO presented to the Board the proposed Guidelines on the Use of Framework Agreement;

WHEREAS, on the same meeting, the Board approved in principle, the Guidelines, subject to the comments and inputs of its members;

WHEREAS, on 03 July 2026, the GPPB Chairperson instructed the GPPB-TSO to further review and refine the draft Guidelines on the Use of Framework Agreement;

WHEREAS, the GPPB-TSO during 2nd Joint GPPB and IATWG Meeting held on 23 July 2026, presented the refined provisions of the Guidelines on the Use of Framework Agreement. Discussions ensued in refining the provisions of the Guidelines, particularly to:

1. Enhance the definition of terms for clarity and consistency across the Guidelines:

a. Call-off – that it refers to the Purchase Order or contract issued under a Framework Agreement for the procurement of Goods, Infrastructure Projects, or Consulting Services.

b. Framework Agreement- expressly identifies Framework Agreement as a procurement strategy as it is often confused and defined as a modality and not simply as a contract.

c. Qualified Bidder- introduces a new term to refer to bidders that have been qualified and to which the PE will enter into a Framework Agreement, to ensure consistent reference to such bidder throughout the Guidelines.

2. Include the following:

a. Parameters for PEs in determining when Framework Agreement is most useful or appropriate:

(i) Frequently, routinely, or repeatedly used;

(ii) Used for an indefinite period or quantity;

(iii) Needed over a long or set period but the exact quantity, timing or scope of work or scope of service is unpredictable;

(iv) By its nature, use or characteristics, the need arises on an urgent basis;

(v) Needed for disaster preparedness and response; or (vi) Other analogous or similar circumstances.

b. Guide in the conduct of market scoping activity to ensure the successful conduct of Framework Agreement; and c. Use of Early Procurement Activities to facilitate timely implementation of procurement projects subject to Framework Agreements.

3. Revise the previous requirements to secure a Multi-Year Contracting Authority prior to the conduct of procurement considering that a Framework Agreement itself does not constitute a procurement contract or create a financial obligation until a Call-Off is made. The PE shall nonetheless ensure that the annual funding requirement shall be included in the budget.

4. Limit the modalities where Framework Agreement may be adopted to Competitive Bidding and Limited Source Bidding, thereby removing Competitive Dialogue, Unsolicited Proposal with Bid Matching and Small Value Procurement as the objective and procedure of these modalities do not align with Framework Agreement.

5. Provide the authority for the Head of the Procuring Entity, in consideration of procurement efficiency as well as the volume and complexity of procurement projects under a Framework Agreement, to establish a separate Bids and Awards Committee (BAC) for this purpose.

GPPB Resolution No. 12-2026 dated 23 July 2026 Page 3 of 5 6. Delete the provision allowing bidders to bid by lot, item or package in a Framework Agreement as this is administratively and operationally burdensome which may minimize if not render for naught the benefits of a Framework Agreement.

WHEREAS, in the same meeting the GPPB-TSO further provides the following changes and clarification in terms of the procedure in the use of Framework Agreement:

1. The PE to include an annual estimate or programming to be indicated as the Approved Budget for the Contract (ABC) in the Annual Procurement Plan (APP) and Framework Agreement List. The ABC indicated in the APP will be the basis for determining the amount of Bidding Documents Fee, Bid Security, Single Largest Completed Contract, Net Financial Contracting Capacity, and Protest Fee;

2. The Certificate of Availability of Funds is not required prior to the execution of Framework Agreement;

3. Inclusion of a mechanism where the BAC is allowed to go to the second ranked Qualified Bidder to avoid a failure of bidding when the Qualified Bidder, outrightly determined as the Lowest Calculated and Responsive Bid (LCRB), refuses a Call-Off in a single-year Framework Agreement;

4. To allow the republication of the Bidding Documents to open the bidding to other bidders in case of a multi-year Framework Agreement with a single Qualified Bidder instead of automatically converting the same into a single-year. Until such time as other bidder/s is/are qualified, the PE may nonetheless issue a Call-Off to the single Qualified bidder;

5. To allow the BAC to exhaust the ABC before the Framework Agreement may be terminated even after the maximum quantity has been reached, instead of conducting a new procurement under a Repeat Order modality;

6. To prescribe the use of a Performance Securing Declaration as performance security for all Framework Agreements.

WHEREAS, the Members of the Board discussed and agreed to include their additional comments and suggestions in the said Guidelines:

1. Include procurement projects below the threshold amount of more than Two Million Pesos (PhP 2,000, 000.00) for Competitive Bidding in the use of Framework Agreement, to enable PEs with lower project amount to avail of Framework Agreement but still following the Competitive Bidding process consistent with Fit-for-Purpose principle;

2. Clarify that the first-year ABC shall be the basis for the Single Largest Completed Contract for multi-year Framework Agreement;

3. Ensure that for deliveries for the same item but for multiple locations, the difference in price owing to the delivery location is reflected in the Bidding Documents and Framework Agreement List; and 4. Include a provision on administrative and legal recourse of bidders from the decisions of the BAC.

WHEREAS, to help guide PEs in the implementation of Framework Agreement, the GPPB- TSO also presented the enhanced templates and forms, as follows:

1. Framework Agreement;

2. Framework Agreement List;

3. Notice of Execution of Framework Agreement;

4. Call for Mini- Competition;

GPPB Resolution No. 12-2026 dated 23 July 2026 Page 4 of 5 5. Call-Off; and 6. Performance Securing Declaration.

WHEREAS, the GPPB, after thorough deliberation and inputs from members of the Board, agreed to approve the enhanced and refined Guidelines on the Use of Framework Agreement;

NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the foregoing, WE, the Members of the GOVERNMENT PROCUREMENT POLICY BOARD, by virtue of the powers vested on US by law, hereby RESOLVE to confirm, adopt, and approve, as WE hereby confirm, adopt, and approve the following:

1. APPROVE the Guidelines on the Use of Framework Agreement under RA No. 12009 and its IRR. A copy of which is attached as Annex “A” hereof;

2. DIRECT the GPPB-TSO to periodically review the implementation of said Guidelines and to propose amendments as deemed necessary. APPROVED this 23rd day of July 2026 at Quezon City, Philippines.

Annex “A” of GPPB Resolution No. 12-2026 dated 23 July 2026 Page 1 of 12 CIRCULAR NO. 07-2026 1.0 POLICY STATEMENT 1.1. Public Procurement shall, in all cases, be governed by the principle of proportionality, among others. This ensures that the conditions and parameters in the development of requirements, choice of procurement modality and implementation of contracts shall be reasonably proportional to the needs of the Procuring Entity (PE) and the nature of the contract or project to be procured.1 1.2. Towards this end, Section 16 of Republic Act (RA) No. 12009, or the “New Government Procurement Act,” and its Implementing Rules and Regulations (IRR) provide for the use of a Framework Agreement as a procurement strategy to expand the pool of prospective bidders, take advantage of economies of scale, minimize the administrative burden of conducting separate procurement activities, and generate time and money savings.

2.0 PURPOSE

These Guidelines shall govern the use of a Framework Agreement as a strategy for the procurement of Goods2, Infrastructure Projects3, and Consulting Services4, as provided in Section 16 of RA No. 12009 and its IRR. 1 Section 3 (d) of RA No. 12009. 2 Section 5 (n) of the IRR of the RA No. 12009 which defines Goods as (i) all items, supplies, and materials, whether in the nature of equipment, furniture, stationery, materials for construction, or personal property of any kind, needed in the transaction of public businesses or in the pursuit of any government undertaking, project or activity; or (ii) general support services which pertain to all types of services except Consulting Services and Infrastructure Projects, such as the repair and maintenance of equipment and furniture, as well as trucking, hauling, janitorial, security, and related or analogous services. Personnel Services or individual Contract of Service or Job Order engagements do not fall under this definition. 3 Section 5 (r) of the IRR of RA No. 12009 provides that Infrastructure Projects include the construction, improvement, rehabilitation, demolition, repair, restoration, or maintenance of roads and bridges, railways, airports, seaports, communication facilities, civil works components of information technology projects, irrigation, flood control and drainage, water supply, sanitation, sewerage and solid waste management systems, shore protection, energy/power and electrification facilities, national buildings, school buildings, hospital buildings, and other related construction projects of the government. For purposes of, and throughout this IRR, the term “Infrastructure Projects” shall have the same meaning as, and shall be used interchangeably with, “civil works” or “works. 4 Section 5 (i) of the IRR of RA No. 12009 defines Consulting Services as to services for Infrastructure Projects and other types of projects or activities of the government requiring adequate external technical and professional expertise that are beyond the capability or capacity of the government to undertake, such as, but not limited to: (i) advisory and review services; (ii) pre-investment or feasibility studies; (iii) design; (iv) construction supervision; (v) management and related services; and (vi) other legal and technical services or special studies.

Annex “A” of GPPB Resolution No. 12-2026 dated 23 July 2026 Page 2 of 12 3.0 DEFINITION OF TERMS For purposes of these Guidelines, the following terms, words, and phrases shall be understood as follows:

a. Call-Off. The purchase order issued by the PE to exercise its option under an existing Framework Agreement after the best offer is determined requiring the supplier, contractor or service provider to deliver the goods or perform the works or services, in accordance with the terms and conditions stipulated in the said Framework Agreement. The prescribed template for a Call-Off is attached hereto for easy reference.5 b. Framework Agreement. A procurement strategy that may be undertaken by a PE whereby advance arrangements on what it will be procuring in the future are determined. The Framework Agreement shall be in the nature of an option contract between the PE and the bidder that stipulates the terms and conditions governing future procurement contracts. For multi-year Framework Agreements, a second-stage bidding process shall be conducted through a Mini Competition among the pool of Qualified Bidders to determine the winning bidder for a specific Call-Off. The prescribed template for a Framework Agreement is attached hereto for easy reference6.

c. Framework Agreement List. The detailed list and technical specifications of Goods to be provided, the scope of works for Infrastructure Projects or the scope of services in the case of Consulting Services. The prescribed template for a Framework Agreement List is attached hereto for easy reference.7 d. Multi-Year Contractual Authority (MYCA). The authority issued to the PE to procure multi-year projects, in accordance with the form and conditions set forth in Section 9 of RA No. 12009 and its IRR.

e. Mini Competition. The second stage in a Multi-Year Framework Agreement where Qualified Bidders in an existing Framework Agreement are requested to submit their best price proposal to determine which among them has the best offer.

f. Option Consideration. The amount paid by the PE to the Qualified Bidder as consideration for the option granted in the Framework Agreement.

g. Qualified Bidder. A bidder in a procurement project subject to a Framework Agreement which has been determined by the Bids and Awards Committee (BAC) as technically and financially eligible and to which the PE shall enter into a Framework Agreement with. 4.0 SCOPE AND APPLICATION 4.1. These Guidelines shall apply to PEs of all branches and instrumentalities of the National Government, its departments, bureaus, offices and agencies, including State Universities and Colleges (SUCs); Government-Owned or Controlled Corporations (GOCCs); Government Financial Institutions (GFI); and Local Government Units (LGUs). 5 Attached as Annex “A” of this Circular is the prescribed template for a Call-Off. 6 Attached as Annex “B” of this Circular is the prescribed template for a Framework Agreement. 7 Attached as Annex “C” of this Circular is the prescribed template for a Framework Agreement List.

Annex “A” of GPPB Resolution No. 12-2026 dated 23 July 2026 Page 3 of 12 4.2. The use of Framework Agreement applies to all types of procurement, whether Goods, Infrastructure Projects, and Consulting Services. 4.3. In order to ensure an open and transparent process, attract a broader pool of bidders to drive competitive pricing, diverse market ideas and innovative solutions, and ultimately achieve value for money, Framework Agreement requires the use of either Competitive Bidding or Limited Source Bidding as a mode of procurement, as may be applicable. However, procurement projects below the threshold amount of Two Million Pesos (PhP 2,000,000.00) for Competitive Bidding may still use Framework Agreement as long as it follows the procedure for Competitive Bidding. 4.4. The use of Framework Agreement as a procurement strategy is anchored on time and costs savings generated through the reduction of administrative burden and cost of repetitive bidding. Moreover, PEs can leverage economies of scale through bulk buying or consolidating procurement requirements in one bidding, which likewise avoids splitting of contract. Of greater significance to public procurement is the ability of a Framework Agreement to ensure supply security and supply chain flexibility as well as mitigate compliance risks which often hound PEs even with proper planning given the shifting market dynamics and heterogenous bidder capacity. 4.5. Accordingly, Framework Agreement is best suited for the procurement of Goods, Infrastructure Projects or Consulting Services that are:

a. frequently, routinely or repeatedly used;

b. used for an indefinite period or quantity;

c. needed over a long or set period but the exact quantity, timing or scope of work or scope of service is unpredictable;

d. by its nature, use or characteristics, the need arises on an urgent basis;

e. needed for disaster preparedness and response; or f. other analogous or similar circumstances. 5.0 GENERAL CONDITIONS 5.1. A Framework Agreement may be undertaken by a PE by setting up advance arrangements on what it will be procuring in the future and outlining the technical specifications, scope of works, terms of reference, quantity or volume, cost or pricing, delivery requirements or performance conditions and such other terms and conditions over a set period governing future procurement. 5.2. The Framework Agreement does not guarantee procurement but creates the structure for future procurement as needed through a Mini Competition or Call- Offs. Hence, it shall be in the nature of an option contract between the PE, as the offeree and the Qualified Bidder, as the offeror covering the right to buy any of the items, works, or services in the Framework Agreement List within a specified period. 5.3. The Framework Agreement shall have a fixed period of either one (1), two (2), or three (3) years within which the PE may exercise its Option. 5.4. The Framework Agreement List shall indicate the items or scope of work or service covered by the Framework Agreement. In particular, it shall include the following:

Annex “A” of GPPB Resolution No. 12-2026 dated 23 July 2026 Page 4 of 12 a. type and nature of each item, scope of work or service to be procured;

b. technical specifications, terms of reference or scope of work, as may be applicable;

c. maximum quantity for each item, scope of work or service;

d. estimated cost per item, scope of work or service;

e. total Approved Budget for the Contract (ABC), including budgetary allocation per item or scope of work or service;

f. estimated delivery period or completion schedule after receipt of a Call- Off or from any date determined by the PE;

g. annual estimate or programming for a multi-year Framework Agreement; and h. other appropriate information as may be necessary. 5.5 In determining the items, works, or services to be included in the Framework Agreement List, the End-User or Implementing Unit shall consider all of its requirements that will benefit from a pre-arranged procurement structure, but where actual procurements are done on a needs basis. 5.6 For items, works or services to be delivered or performed in multiple locations, the PE shall indicate them separately in the Framework Agreement List to reflect the appropriate estimated cost therein. 5.7 The maximum quantity to be indicated in the Framework Agreement List shall reflect the maximum that the End-User or Implementing Unit may need during the covered period taking into consideration current inventory, if any, and past procurement and utilization data in order to ensure optimum use of resources as well as time and cost savings. 5.8 In case of conflict between the information provided in the Framework Agreement List and the Bidding Documents, the former shall prevail. 5.9 The Framework Agreement List shall likewise indicate the annual estimate or programming by the End-User or Implementing Unit that shall be used for budgeting purposes. 6.0 PROCUREMENT PLANNING AND EXECUTION 6.1. The Head of the Procuring Entity (HoPE), in consideration of procurement efficiency as well as the volume and complexity of procurement projects under a Framework Agreement, may establish a separate BAC for this purpose. 6.2. The End-User or Implementing Unit shall assess if the adoption of a Framework Agreement is more practical, economical, and advantageous for the government, taking into consideration the following:

a. Improved procurement efficiency through the minimization of repetitive conduct of procurement or occasions of failed biddings;

b. Extent to which stockholding or warehousing requirement, including the associated costs and risks, may be significantly reduced or avoided;

c. Competitive pricing owing to Mini Competition;

Annex “A” of GPPB Resolution No. 12-2026 dated 23 July 2026 Page 5 of 12 d. Optimization of the ABC through Call-Offs made at the time of actual need;

e. Advantage of a lean and just-in-time procurements; and f. Reduction of additional costs arising from procurement delay. 6.3. To validate the feasibility of using a Framework Agreement, the End-User or Implementing Unit shall ensure that in the conduct of Market Scoping under

Section 10 of the IRR of RA No. 12009:

a. There are prospective bidders that are willing and capable of providing the Goods, Infrastructure Projects or Consulting Services, as the case may be;

b. The estimated prices per unit or scope that constitutes the ABC is competitive over the set period of Framework Agreement;

c. The proposed terms and conditions in the implementation of the Framework Agreement are reasonable or consistent or aligned with prevailing market conditions or industry practices; and d. The quantity, volume, scope of work, scope of service, as well as the period of the Framework Agreement, which either be a single or multi-year period, are supported by the existing supply chain network. 6.4 No procurement shall be undertaken unless it is in accordance with the approved Indicative or Final Annual Procurement Plan (APP) of the PE, as the case may be8. The PE, in the preparation of its APP, shall include procurement projects that will be covered by a Framework Agreement and attach the corresponding Framework Agreement List. 6.5 Early Procurement Activities (EPA) may likewise be undertaken for procurement projects subject to Framework Agreement provided that no award or Call-Offs may be made until the effectivity of the budget and subject to the guidelines on the conduct of EPA. 6.6 In the case of a multi-year Framework Agreement, as the same is merely an option contract and the acceptance by the PE of the Qualified Bidder’s offer does not create a procurement contract but merely establishes a structure for future procurements as the need arises, a MYCA9 is not required prior to entering into such agreement. The PE shall nonetheless ensure that the budget necessary for its annual programming for the year is included in its approved budget. Hence, the amount of annual estimate or programming shall be the basis of the ABC for each year that shall be indicated in the APP. The ABC for the first year, as indicated in the APP and Framework Agreement List, shall be the basis in determining the required amount of the Bidding Documents Fee, Bid Security, Single Largest Completed Contract (SLCC), Net Financial Contracting Capacity, and Protest Fee. 8 Section 7.8 of the IRR of RA No. 12009. 9 DBM Circular Letter No. 2025-6 dated 13 May 2025 entitled “Amendment to Circular Letter (CL) No. 2023-7 re: The Prescribed Guidelines on the Issuance of Multi-Year Contractual Authority (MYCA)”.

Annex “A” of GPPB Resolution No. 12-2026 dated 23 July 2026 Page 6 of 12 6.7 The PE shall conduct procurement using either Competitive Bidding or Limited Source Bidding, including procurement projects below the threshold amount of more than Two Million Pesos (PhP 2,000,000.00) for Competitive Bidding but will be using Framework Agreement, in accordance with the relevant provisions herein and of RA No. 12009 and its IRR. 6.8 The Invitation to Bid shall indicate that the procurement will be subject to a Framework Agreement pursuant to these Guidelines and shall state whether Framework Agreement shall be for a single-year or multi-year. 6.9 It is the responsibility of the BAC Secretariat to ensure that the Bid Security is valid until such time as the execution of the Framework Agreement. For this purpose, the BAC Secretariat shall request the bidder to extend its Bid Security as may be necessary. Failure to extend the Bid Security shall disqualify the bidder from further participating in the Framework Agreement. 6.10 Determination of the Qualified Bidder/s and Notice to Execute a Framework Agreement a. For Single-year Framework Agreement.

(i) If the Framework Agreement is for a duration of one (1) year, the BAC shall check the eligibility and compliance of all the bidders with the technical and financial aspects of the project to determine all the Qualified Bidder/s and rank them accordingly. Thereafter, the BAC shall make an outright determination of the Lowest Calculated Responsive Bid (LCRB), Most Economically Advantageous Responsive Bid (MEARB), Most Advantageous Responsive Bid (MARB), or Highest Rated Responsive Bid (HRRB). For instances falling under Section 65 of the IRR of RA No. 1200910, the BAC shall make an outright determination of the Single Calculated Responsive Bid (SCRB), Single Rated Responsive Bid (SRRB), Single Economically Advantageous Responsive Bid (SEARB), or Single Advantageous Responsive Bid (SARB).

(ii) The BAC shall then recommend to the HoPE the execution of a Framework Agreement with the LCRB/MEARB/MARB/HRRB/ SCRB/SRRB/SEARB/SARB, as the case may be. Upon receipt of the BAC recommendation, the HoPE shall issue a Notice to Execute Framework Agreement to the said bidder. The prescribed template for the Notice to Execute a Framework Agreement is attached 10 Section 65. Single Calculated/Rated/Economically Advantageous and Responsive Bid Submission. The Single Calculated Responsive Bid (SCRB), Single Rated Responsive Bid (SRRB), Single Economically Advantageous Responsive Bid (SEARB), or Single Advantageous Responsive Bid (SARB) as the case may be, shall be considered for award if it falls under any of the following circumstances:

a) If after publication, only one prospective bidder applies for eligibility check in accordance with the provisions of this IRR, and it meets the eligibility requirements or criteria, after which it submits a bid which is found to be responsive to the bidding requirements;

b) If after publication, more than one prospective bidder applies for eligibility check in accordance with the provisions of this IRR, but only one bidder meets the eligibility requirements or criteria, after which it submits a bid which is found to be responsive to the bidding requirements; or c) If after the eligibility check, more than one bidder meets the eligibility requirements in accordance with the provisions of this IRR, but only one bidder submits a bid, and its bid is found to be responsive to the bidding requirements. In all instances, the Procuring Entity shall ensure that the ABC reflects the most advantageous prevailing price for the Government.

Annex “A” of GPPB Resolution No. 12-2026 dated 23 July 2026 Page 7 of 12 hereto for easy reference11. This notwithstanding, actual purchase by the PE shall be made only upon issuance by the BAC of a Call- Off when the need to procure arises.

(iii) Should the determined LCRB/MEARB/MARB/HRRB refuse to accept the Call-Off, the BAC shall proceed to cancel the said declaration and determine the responsiveness of the bid of the second ranked Qualified Bidder. Once determined as LCRB/ MEARB/MARB/HRRB, the BAC shall recommend to the HoPE the execution of a Framework Agreement with said bidder. Upon receipt of the BAC recommendation, the HoPE shall issue a Notice to Execute Framework Agreement. In case of refusal to accept the Call-Off, the Framework Agreement shall be automatically terminated and the PE shall likewise enforce the Performance Securing Declaration without prejudice to any other administrative and legal actions the PE may undertake under applicable rules and regulations. Should the next LCRB/MEARB/MARB/HRRB refuse to enter into a Framework Agreement, the BAC shall repeat the process until the Framework Agreement is executed or declare a failure of bidding.

b. For Multi-year Framework Agreement.

(i) When the Framework Agreement is for a duration of two (2) or three (3) years, the bidders shall make an initial submission of their eligibility requirements and financial bid offer. Upon receipt of bid submissions, the BAC shall check the eligibility and compliance of bidders with the technical and financial aspects of the project to determine the Qualified Bidder/s. Thereafter, the BAC shall recommend to the HoPE the execution of a Framework Agreement among the Qualified Bidder/s. Upon receipt of the BAC recommendation, the HoPE shall issue a Notice to Execute Framework Agreement to all Qualified Bidder/s.

(ii) The BAC shall not make a determination of the LCRB/MEARB/ MARB/HRRB/LCCRB until a Mini Competition is conducted among the Qualified Bidders. The BAC shall issue a Call for Mini Competition12 by sending a request to all Qualified Bidders to submit their best financial proposal on a specified date, time and place to determine the bidder with the LCRB/MEARB/MARB/ HRRB, as the case may be, and issue the corresponding Call-Off. The prescribed template for the Call for Mini Competition is attached hereto for easy reference. Refusal of the bidder to participate in the Mini Competition shall result in the automatic termination of the Framework Agreement as to the refusing bidder and shall be a ground to enforce the Performance Securing Declaration. 11 Attached as Annex “D” of this Circular is the prescribed template for the Notice to Execute Framework Agreement. 12 Attached as Annex “E” of this Circular is the prescribed template for the Call for Mini Competition.

Annex “A” of GPPB Resolution No. 12-2026 dated 23 July 2026 Page 8 of 12 (iii) However, in case there is only one (1) Qualified Bidder, the BAC shall make a determination of SCRB/SRRB/SEARB/SARB and recommend to the HoPE the execution of a Framework Agreement with the said bidder. This notwithstanding, the BAC shall instruct the immediate re-publication of the Bidding Documents for at least one (1) more round of procurement in order to invite additional bidders and expand the pool of Qualified Bidders on the basis of the same APP as the original or earlier publication. Should the need to procure arises prior to the execution of another Framework Agreement, the BAC shall issue a Call-Off. In case another Framework Agreement has been issued to other Qualified Bidder/s prior to the need to procure, a Mini Competition among all Qualified Bidders shall be conducted following the above-stated procedure. 6.11 Bidders executing the Framework Agreement either for single or multi-year, shall ensure the continuing validity of their eligibility documents during the implementation of the Framework Agreement. 6.12 Notwithstanding the eligibility of the bidder, the BAC reserves the right to review its qualifications at any stage of the implementation of the Framework Agreement. If there is any change in the capability of the bidder to undertake its obligations under the Framework Agreement, as when it no longer meets the eligibility criteria, the BAC shall revoke the eligibility of said bidder and disqualify it from obtaining any award or contract. To ensure transparency, the BAC shall inform the bidder of the reasons for its ineligibility prior to the revocation. 6.13 Within five (5) calendar days from receipt by the bidder of the Notice to Execute a Framework Agreement, the bidder or its duly authorized representative shall formally enter into a Framework Agreement with the PE. The PE shall pay the bidder an amount of One Peso (Php 1.00) as a consideration for the option granted to the PE to procure the Goods, Infrastructure Projects, or Consulting Services covered in the Framework Agreement List when the need arises. 6.14 The End-User or Implementing Unit shall ensure periodic review of its multi-year Framework Agreement to address possible implementation concerns and ensure optimum performance of the Agreement. 6.15 Bidders may file a Protest before the HoPE against any decision of the BAC within seven (7) calendar days from receipt of said decision and after the denial of its request for reconsideration, subject to the provisions of Section 83.2 of the IRR of RA No. 12009 and other associated issuances. 7.0 FRAMEWORK AGREEMENT 7.1. Being in the nature of an option contract, the PE may, within the period specified in the Framework Agreement, choose to either place an order for any of the item or scope of work or service in the Framework Agreement List or not purchase at all.

Annex “A” of GPPB Resolution No. 12-2026 dated 23 July 2026 Page 9 of 12 7.2. Accordingly, a Framework Agreement shall in no case state or imply any agreement or undertaking by the PE to place future contracts or orders with the supplier or service provider. 7.3. The issuance of the Certificate of Availability of Funds (CAF) shall not be required prior to the execution of a Framework Agreement. It shall only be required for every Call-Off, subject to existing auditing and budgeting rules and regulations. 7.4. A Framework Agreement shall contain the following stipulations:

a. The Option Consideration shall be set at PHP 1.00 (One Peso).
