Pattern Consistent with Contract Splitting
Multiple similar contracts to the same contractor/DEO just under a threshold in a short window.
This is a statistical anomaly or indicator worth examining — not proof of wrongdoing, fraud, or corruption against any person.
Indicator: 6 contracts awarded to ROAD EDGE TRADING & DEVELOPMENT SERVICES by the same office started within 44 days, each between ₱42.5M and ₱50M (just under the ₱50M threshold), with 3 in the same municipality. It is possible that these are separate projects planned for different sites within the same period.
Only contractors and government agencies named in public procurement records are shown. Private individuals are not named.
