All Others Concerned
1. The Department of Education (DepEd) issues the enclosed Guidelines ou the Conduct of Early Procurement Activities (EPA) at the Department of Education, consistent with Section 7.6 of the revised Implementing Rules and Regulations (IRR) of Republic Act No. 9184, other related issuances pertaining to its implementation; and directives under the Department of Budget and Management (DBM) Circular Letter 2018-8 dated July 3O, 2018. The EPA allows facilitation of the immediate implementation of procurement of Goods, Infrastructure Projects, or Consulting Services, even pending approval of the General Appropriations Act (GAA).
2. This DepEd Order is anchored on the rationale embodied in said issuances- those programs, activities, and projects are fully implemented within the validity period of the national budget.
3. The conduct of EPA, as a strategy to fast-track procurement, is a condition for the grant of the Performance-Based Bonus (PBB) as embodied under Memorandum Circular 2O2O-1. While this is no longer required in determining the overall PBB eligibility of agencies in 2O2l, compliance with the Guidelines shall be used as the basis in determining the eligibility of responsible units and individuals.
4. This shall take effect immediately and shall remain to be in force unless otherwise repealed/amended.
5. For more information and assistance, please contact the Procurement Management Service, 5th Floor, Mabini Building, Department of Education Central Office, DepEd Complex, Meralco Avenue, Pasig City through email at procms.ppmd@deped. gov.ph.
