Issues Concern: Additional Eligibility Documents

Details

Whether the Procuring Entity (PE) may impose additional eligibility documents other than those required under Sections 23.1, 24.1, and 25.1 of the revised Implementing Rules and Regulations (IRR) of Republic Act (RA) No. 9184.

PEs are proscribed from requiring additional requirements. The list of minimum eligibility requirements under the revised Implementing Rules and Regulations (IRR) of Republic Act (RA) No. 9184 has been streamlined/simplified, such that only those requirements enumerated in Sections 23.1, 24.1, and 25.1 of the IRR are necessary for purposes of determining bidders’ eligibility.
