3. All procurement shall be within the approved budget of the Procuring Entity
and should be meticulously and judiciously planned by the Procuring Entity.
Consistent with government fiscal discipline measures, only those considered
crucial to the efficient discharge of governmental functions shall be included
in the Annual Procurement Plan (APP). For purposes of this IRR, a
procurement project shall be considered crucial to the efficient discharge of
governmental functions if it is required for the day-to-day operations or is in
pursuit of the principal mandate of the Procuring Entity concerned. The APP
shall include provisions for foreseeable emergencies based on historical
records. In the case of Infrastructure Projects, the APP shall consider the
appropriate timing/phasing of related project activities, such as, engineering
design and acquisition of right-of-way site or location, to reduce/lower project
costs.

through the execution of a memorandum of agreement containing specific

the budgetary allocation for their respective PAPs. The revised
PPMPs shall be submitted to the BAC, through its Secretariat, for
the final recommendation of the methods of procurement. The

ordinance, as the case may be.

undertake EPA.
Procuring Entities are encouraged to undertake EPA to ensure the timely delivery of
goods, implementation of infrastructure projects and rendition of consultancy
services. The conduct of EPA for nationally-funded procurement projects may
commence as early as the submission of the NEP to Congress, usually in July. No
EPA may be conducted without an indicative APP duly approved by the HoPE and the
MYCA issued by the DBM, in the case of multi-year projects. This will facilitate the
awarding of procurement contracts upon approval and effectivity of their respective
funding sources or the reenactment of the previous year’s budget which constitutes
the current year’s authorized budget, when authorized by the Constitution, law or
rules.

(FAPS), on the document issued by the foreign donor or financing institution

agencies or instrumentalities with borrowing authority.

corporate budget, appropriations ordinance or the loan agreement in the case of
FAPs.
Notwithstanding the approval and effectivity of the GAA, reenacted budget,
appropriations ordinance, corporate budget or loan agreement, Procuring Entities
shall not award contracts for procurement projects requiring Special Allotment
Release Order or Sub-Allotment Release Order until the same has been issued,
secured or released.

For procurement projects subject to
Framework Agreement as provided
in the Guidelines on the use of
Framework Agreement by all
Procuring Entities, the end-user unit
shall ensure that the Framework
Agreement List must be attached to
the APP submitted to the BAC to be
approved by the HoPE.
