The Department of Social Welfare and Development conducted an executive briefing to orient the department’s top managers and key personnel on RA 9184 or the Government Procurement Reform Act and its Implementing Rules and Regulations to ensure transparency in transactions and public purchases.
The initiative aims to professionalize and ensure efficient functionality of the Bids and Award Committee system, Technical Working Groups, and all procurement units.
“As public servants, we must ensure that government resources are judiciously, properly, and efficiently utilized, and must be in compliance with the standards provided under the Reform Act,” DSWD Secretary Erwin Tulfo said.
