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: 5 contracts awarded to A C SOLIVEN CONST & GEN MERCHANDISE by the same office started within 73 days, each between ₱42.5M and ₱50M (just under the ₱50M threshold), with 3 in the same municipality. These projects may have been split to address different rivers or segments within the municipality, each requiring separate works.
Only contractors and government agencies named in public procurement records are shown. Private individuals are not named.
