Your request You asked for Construction Industry Authority of the Philippines: Procurement Cycle.

You may retrieve your requested information from the updated Implementing Rules and Regulations of Republic Act No. 9184, which may be downloaded from the Government Procurement Policy Board - Technical Support Office website at https://gppb.gov.ph/downloadables.php. As a general rule, the procurement method for infrastructure projects is competitive bidding or public bidding. The procedures or procurement cycle, conditions, and requirements for the procurement of Infrastructure Projects through competitive bidding may be found in Rules VII to IX of the IRR while the procurement timeline for each procurement activity for the Infrastructure Projects may be found under Annex "C" of the same IRR.
