COA: Over P1B worth of equipment ‘still undelivered’ by PITC to PNP

Some P1.036 billion worth of supplies remain “undelivered” by the Philippine International Trading Corp to the PNP since 2016. | GabrielLaluINQ

“The low delivery rate of 23.08 percent and undelivered equipment defeats the intention to which the PNP [has] engaged the services of PITC, that is, to facilitate the procurement process,” it added.

COA noted that delays in the delivery of equipment to PNP go against the essence of Republic Act No. 9184 or the Government Procurement Reform Act. The commission highlighted that Section 7.3.3. says procuring entities may tap other government offices engaged primarily in procurement to ensure quicker project implementation.

But the PNP National Headquarters said in reply to COA that they have already discussed the issue with PITC and that some items were already delivered and merely awaiting a certificate of acceptance.
