A3 · Awards Clustered Just Under the Small Value Procurement Ceiling
Indicator: 5 awards from PHILIPPINE HEART CENTER to METRO DRUG, INC. between 2022-09-15 and 2022-10-10 were each between 85% and 100% of the ₱1.00M Small Value Procurement ceiling then in force (2016 Revised IRR of RA 9184, Annex H), totalling ₱4.84M. Worth checking whether they were separate requirements. Hospitals often need to procure different medicines and test kits separately due to varying stock levels and urgent needs.
