Upon instruction of DBM Secretary Rolando G. Andaya, Jr., preparations are underway to finally establish a regional procurement depot here in Iloilo City.
Assistant Secretary Eduardo Opida, Chairman of the Inter-Agency Bids and Awards Committee (IABAC) together with Procurement Service Executive Director Estanislao Granados came over last week to inspect the would-be office and warehouse of the depot, and also to orient the Regional Inter-Agency Bids and Awards Committee (R-IABAC). The R-IABAC which composed of the regional offices of the DBM (Chair), DTI, BLGF and DILG; and two private sector observers - is tasked to conduct the bidding of locally produced supplies and common used items that will be sold by the depot.
Timetable for the opening of the depot is between April and May. If this materializes, Region VI will be the only region with two (2) procurement depots: the pilot provincial depot in Bacolod City co-managed by the provincial government of Negros Occidental and the PS; and the soon-to-be opened depot here in Iloilo City under the DBM Regional Office VI. Abangan!
