The Procurement Service under the Department of Budget and Management said on Monday, September 14, that a controversial P727-million contract with Ferjan Healthlink Philippines has been canceled.
The contract was only cancelled due to the delay in delivering an order of 500,000 sets of personal protective equipment . PS-DBM cancelled the contract on September 11. Senate Minority Leader Franklin Drilon said these companies should not be allowed to"hide behind the corporate structure" to skirt disqualification from bidding.
Drilon said that the P480-million test kit contract awarded to Pharmally Pharmaceutical Corporation, a local supplier, was overpriced by P208 million.
