“In the case of these suppliers, why did we not just bid for the goods in a single lot?” Estrada questioned, as he said that he had noticed that DepEd’s past contracts have Advance Solutions, Inc. or ASIA, Columbia Technologies, Inc., Reddot Imaging Philippines, Inc., Techguru Inc., and Girltekki, Inc. as the usual suppliers for the Information Technology needs of the said department.
DepEd Director Abram Abanil said that the reason why these companies are the ones usually winning the bid, he said that “because they have submitted the lowest bids.” “The effect of a repeat order is that it dispenses with the need of undergoing public bidding again. In the case of these suppliers, why did we not just bid for the goods in a single lot?” Estrada said.
