The Philippines resumes local infrastructure bidding with new transparency rules after a two-week suspension.
The Philippine Department of Public Works and Highways has lifted a two-week suspension on bidding for locally-funded infrastructure projects, reinstating auctions under new safeguards aimed at improving transparency and accountability.
The suspension followed concerns over defective or non-existent projects, prompting a review of internal procedures.
New rules require livestreaming of bids, geotagging of project sites, accurate data entry, disclosure of beneficial ownership and bidder relationships, and strict enforcement against contract splitting.
Bidders must also prove financial and technical capacity, and project details including right-of-way costs must be verified.
Non-compliance may lead to cancellation of bids and legal consequences for involved officials.
