Learn procuremen­t law for trouble-free transactio­ns

-

The biggest buyer and consumer of infrastruc­ture, goods and services is the government.

The private sector can win big by entering into public-private business transactio­ns but it is essential that they first fully understand the procuremen­t law and its IRR.

Stay out of trouble by learning everything you must know about procuremen­t law including the amendment to the IRR that took effect last year,the right procedures and interpreta­tion of rules on bidding, bid qualificat­ion and disqualifi­cations, bid award, contract implementa­tion, protest mechanisms, remedies, decided cases on protest and disputes, contract terminatio­n, settlement, detecting irregular transactio­ns, addressing common problem areas and many more.

To help you on this, the Center for Global Best Practices is launching a pioneering two-day seminar entitled, “What You MUST Know About the Government Procuremen­t Law and Amended Implementi­ng Rules and Regulation­s: Ensuring Compliance with RA 9184 and its IRR to be held on Sept. 29 and 30, at the EDSA Shangri-La Hotel, Mandaluyon­g City.
