Awards Clustered Just Under the Small Value Procurement Ceiling
3+ awards from one office to one supplier within 30 days, each 85–100% of the SVP ceiling, combined above it.
This is a statistical anomaly or indicator worth examining — not proof of wrongdoing, fraud, or corruption against any person.
Indicator: 3 awards from JOSE B. LINGAD MEMORIAL GENERAL HOSPITAL to STA. ANA ENTERPRISES between 2021-07-14 and 2021-07-29 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 ₱2.82M. Worth checking whether they were separate requirements. Hospitals may have urgent and separate needs for different medical supplies during a pandemic, leading to multiple near-ceiling procurements in a short period.
Only contractors and government agencies named in public procurement records are shown. Private individuals are not named.

Possible Innocent Explanations
- Separate requisitions from different schools/units or recurring needs can fall near the ceiling legitimately; splitting is prohibited only when done to avoid competitive bidding.
