Awards Very Close to the Budget Ceiling
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 24CJ0051 lists a cost of ₱45.00M, 2.04% above its Approved Budget for the Contract of ₱44.10M. Under RA 9184, awards normally may not exceed the ABC. This may be due to a data entry error or a post-bid contract adjustment not reflected in the ABC field.
