IMPLEMENTATION OF REPUBLIC ACT 9184 (GOVERNMENT PROCUREMENT REFORM ACT): PROCUREMENT OF GOODS, INFRASTRUCTURE PROJECTS, AND CONSULTING SERVICES IN A PHILIPPINE PUBLIC TERTIARY HOSPITAL
บทคัดย่อ
This study assesses the implementation of Republic Act 9184, also known as the Government Procurement Reform Act, with a focus on the procurement of goods, infrastructure projects, and consulting services in a selected Department of Health (DOH) operated hospital in the Philippines. The research employs a quantitative descriptive-comparative design and gathers data from 100 purposively selected stakeholders, including BAC members, TWG members, the BAC Secretariat, end-users, and suppliers/contractors. Key aspects of the procurement process—such as advertisement, pre-bid conferences, bid submission, bid evaluation, post-qualification, and notice of award—are evaluated based on stakeholder perceptions. Results indicate that the procurement procedures are strictly enforced across all assessed dimensions. Further, statistical analysis reveals no significant differences in stakeholder assessments when grouped by age, stakeholder status, or years of service. The findings unfold a high level of compliance with RA 9184 in the studied institution, implying an effective implementation of transparent and accountable procurement practices. Recommendations include incorporating qualitative methods in future research to deepen insights into procurement challenges and perceptions.
