Bid-Ceiling Hugging
Contract cost is at or above 99.5% of ABC from Sumbong.
This is a statistical anomaly or indicator worth examining — not proof of wrongdoing, fraud, or corruption against any person.
Indicator: contract 24CJ0205 lists a cost of ₱50.00M, 1.01% above its Approved Budget for the Contract of ₱49.50M. Under RA 9184, awards normally may not exceed the ABC. This may be due to a data entry error or a post-bid adjustment not reflected in the published ABC.
Only contractors and government agencies named in public procurement records are shown. Private individuals are not named.
