The GPPB-TSO welcomed ASEAMETRICS for an executive briefing on the Procurement Professionalization Project under the World Bank Technical Assistance Initiative.

The discussion highlighted the project’s major outputs, including the National Government Procurement Competency Framework, the Procurement Competency Dictionary, the Procurement Code of Ethics, and recommendations to strengthen procurement practice across government.

Director General Rowena Candice M. Ruiz underscored the importance of recognizing procurement as a strategic function that goes beyond compliance. She emphasized the need to strengthen competencies, establish clear career pathways, promote ethical leadership, and continue building a professional, people-centered procurement ecosystem in support of the implementation of the New Government Procurement Act (RA 12009).
Together, GPPB-TSO and ASEAMETRICS reaffirm their commitment to advancing a more capable, ethical, innovative, and future-ready procurement workforce.
