Issues Concern: Resort to Alternative Modes of Procurement

Details

How many failed procurement through the alternative mode of shopping is required before a procuring entity may resort to other alternative methods of procurement?

Please be advised that a procuring entity may resort to any of the alternative modes of procurement provided that it falls under the conditions set forth by RA 9184 and its IRR-A.
