MANILA, Philippines – The Department of Transportation and Communications (DOTC) is set to put in place a system that would monitor all major infrastructure projects from the development of terms of reference up to the issuance of notice to proceed. The agency is looking for a consultant for the development of a Bidding Process Monitoring System (BIDPMS) to monitor and track the bidding of various projects. The system would also make sure that all bidding process being undertaken by the DOTC follows the strict guidelines set up in the implementing rules and regulations of RA 9184 or the Government Procurement Reform Act. The DOTC is in charge of the implementation of transportation projects covering infrastructure and feasibility studies. “Transportation infrastructures are important support services to cater to the various needs of the country covering tourism, agriculture and other economic activities to foster and accelerate the growth of the country,” the agency said. The system, the DOTC added, would be fully accessible to the stakeholders and implementors to see the progress of the bidding of major projects.
