and found to be responsive.
Section 22. Bid Opening and Examination. For the procurement of: (a) goods,

of all eligible bids. Any adjustment to correct minor deviations shall be calculated
in monetary terms to determine the calculated prices. The bids shall be ranked from

procurement of consulting services, the BAC shall evaluate bids of the short listed
bidders and rank them using numerical ratings in accordance with the evaluation
criteria stated in the bid documents. The bids shall be ranked from highest to lowest
in terms of their corresponding calculated ratings. The bid with the highest calculated
rating shall be referred to as the "HIGHEST RATED BID."
Section 25. Ceiling for Bid Price. The approved budget for the contract shall be the
upper limit or ceiling for the bid price. Bid prices which exceed this ceiling shall
be disqualified outright from further participating in the bidding. There shall be no

contract shall be that approved by the head of the agency.
Section 26. Major Deviation. The BAC shall automatically disqualify a bid that

involves the verification and validation of all documents submitted by the bidder

information or statements contained therein to determine whether he satisfies all the
requirements and conditions as specified in the bidding documents, in which case his

RATED AND RESPONSIVE BID" in the case of consulting services.

agencies which may not have the proficiency or capability to undertake a particular
procurement, as determined by their heads, may request other agencies to undertake
such procurement for them, or at their option, recruit and hire consultants or
procurement agents to assist them directly and/or train their staff in the management
of procurement function.
195
Section 29. Reservation Clause. The government reserves the right to reject any and
all bids, or declare a failure of bidding, or not award the contract for any justifiable
reason including among others, if there is a evidence of collusion between relevant
public officers or employees of the agency or the BAC and any of the bidders or among
the bidders, or between the bidders and third parties, including any act which restricts,
suppresses or nullifies competition, of if the BAC is found to have failed to follow the
prescribed bidding procedures.

Bid, as the case may be, fails, refuses or is unable to make good his bid by entering into
contract with the agency or, in the case of goods, supplies, materials, related services
and civil works, post the required performance security within the period stipulated
in the bidding documents, the bid security shall be forfeited where so applicable, and
the appropriate administrative sanctions shall be imposed except where such failure,
refusal or inability is through no fault of his. Thereupon, the BAC shall disqualify the
said bidder and shall postqualify the next ranked Lowest Calculated Bid or Highest
Rated Bid, as the case may be. This procedure shall be repeated until an award is
made. However, if no award is made, the contract shall be re-bid.

circumstances, as defined in the IRR, and upon prior approval of the PPB.

NEDA JOINT VENTURE GUIDELINES AND PROCEDURES
NEDA Joint Venture Guidelines and Procedures

Guidelines and Procerdures for Entering into Joint Venture (JV)
Agreements Between Government and Private Entities
1.0 Legal Basis. These Guidelines are being issued pursuant to Section 8 (Joint
Venture Agreements) of Executive Order (EO) No. 423 dated 30 April 2005,
which mandates the National Economic and Development Authority (NEDA),
in consultation with the Government Procurement Policy Board (GPPB), to issue
the necessary guidelines on Joint Ventures (JVs). The Office of the Government
Corporate Counsel (OGCC), Department of Justice (DOJ), GOCCs and the private
sector have also been consulted in the formulation of the Guidelines.
2.0 Principles. The Government shall enter into a JV arrangement consistent with the
following principles:
2.1 The creation of the JV should not prevent potential players from profitably
entering into business venture/market.
2.2 The cost of producing the particular product, activity, or service should be
efficient or potentially efficient towards earning potential profits for government
and the market player/private sector partner.
2.3 There should be no barriers for the governments withdrawal of its contribution
to the JV investment.
2.4 The role of government as regulator of the business of the JV should be clearly
and explicitly delineated from its role as implementer of the business to avoid
conflicts of interest.
2.5 As differentiated from projects procured under Official Development
Assistance (ODA), Build Operate and Transfer Law (BOT) and Government
Procurement Reform Act (GPRA) where ownership of the asset/business will
stay with the government, JV Agreements allow the private sector to take over
the undertaking of the projects in its entirety after the government divests itself
of any interest in the JV.
2.6 Accountability for the JV project ultimately devolves on the Head of the
Government Entity involved in the JV Agreements and the implementation of
the JV project. The private parties dealing with the Government are similarly
held accountable for all their actions relative thereto.
3.0 Purpose. These Guidelines are being formulated to meet the following objectives:
228
3.1 To prescribe the rules, guidelines and procedures forging JV Agreements

between government corporations as defined under section 4.0 below, and
private entities;
3.2 To encourage pooling of resources and expertise between government and
private sector entities through JVs as a viable, efficient, and practical alternative
in pursuing development goals of the government; and
3.3 To ensure that all JV Agreements are entered into under the policy that all
government contracts shall be awarded through a transparent process.
4.0 Coverage.
4.1 These guidelines shall apply to all government-owned and/or controlled
corporations (GOCCs), government corporate entities (GCEs), government
instrumentalities with corporate powers (GICPs), government financial
institutions (GFIs), state universities and colleges (SUCs), as defined under
Section 5.0 and which are expressly authorized by law or their respective
charters to enter into JV Agreements. Local Government Units (LGUs) are not
covered by these Guidelines.
4.2 Transactions of GFIs in the ordinary course of business as part of their normal
and ordinary banking, financial or portfolio management operations shall not
be covered by the provisions of these Guidelines.
5.0 Definition of Terms.
5.1 Government Entity. Refers to GOCCs, GCEs, GICPs, SUCs, and GFIs, created

a group of Government Entities on the other hand, contribute money/capital,
services, assets (including equipment, land or intellectual property), or a
229
combination of any or all of the foregoing. Parties to a JV share risks to jointly

undertake an investment activity in order to accomplish a specific, limited or
special goal or purpose with the end view of facilitating private sector initiative
in a particular industry or sector, and eventually transferring ownership of the
investment activity to the private sector under competitive market conditions.
It involves a community or pooling of interests in the performance of the
service, function, business or activity, with each party having a right to direct
and govern the policy in connection therewith, and with a view of sharing
both profits and losses, subject to agreement by the parties. A JV may be a
contractual JV, or a corporate JV.
5.5 JV Company. An entity registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission
(SEC) by the JV partners that shall perform the primary functions and obligations
of the JV as stipulated under the JV Agreement. The JV Company shall possess
the characteristics stipulated under these Guidelines.
5.6 Contractual JV. A legal and binding agreement under which the JV partners
shall perform the primary functions and obligations under the JV Agreement
without forming a JV Company.
5.7 Competitive Selection. Refers to a process of selection by a Government Entity
of a JV partner(s), based on transparent criteria, which should not constrain or
limit competition, and is open to participation by any interested and qualified
private entity.
5.8 Competitive Challenge. An alternative selection process wherein third parties
shall be invited to submit comparative proposals to an unsolicited proposal.
Accordingly, the private sector entity that submitted the unsolicited proposal is
accorded the right to match any superior offers given by a comparative private
sector participant.
5.9 Negotiated Projects. Refers to instances where the desired project is the result
of an unsolicited proposal from a private sector proponent or, if the government
has failed to identify an eligible private sector partner for a desired activity after
subjecting the same to a competitive selection.
5.10 Unsolicited Proposal. Refer to project proposals submitted by the private
sector to undertake Infrastructure or Development Projects without a formal
solicitation issued by a Government Entity. These projects may be entered into
by the Government Entity on a negotiated basis, provided, however, that there
shall be no direct government guarantees for JVs resulting from an unsolicited
proposal.
230

c. The JV should not tend to crowd out private sector initiative in a particular
industry or sector. The DTI, BOI and NEDA shall issue a negative list of
industries or sectors on a periodic basis where the formation of a JV is
likely to crowd out private sector initiative.
6.2 The preferred mode of implementing a JV Agreement shall be through a JV
Company to be formed by the Government Entity and the private sector entity,
under the following parameters:
a. The JV Company shall be registered as a stock corporation in accordance
with the provisions of the Corporation Code, as amended, and the
prevailing and applicable rules and regulations promulgated by the SEC;
b. Ownership and nationality requirements under the Constitution and other
pertinent laws should be complied with; provided, that the Government
Entitys equity contribution in the JV Company shall only be less than fifty
percent (50%) of the outstanding capital stock of the latter. Governments
contribution may be through assets (including money, equipment, land,
intellectual property or any thing of value) which shall be subject to a
3rd party independent valuation. For as long as the Government Entity
is involved in the JV undertaking, the private sector party shall not sell/
transfer its interest in the JV Company without the express written consent
of the Government Entity;
c. The Government Entity shall be represented in the Board of the JV Company
in proportion to its investment;
d. The JV Company shall be permitted to derive income from the activities
authorized under the JV Agreement thereof during the term thereof. The
Government Entity and the private sector partner shall be entitled to receive
dividends and/or any other form of share from net profits earned by the JV
Company in accordance with the JV Agreement. The determination of net
profits shall be subject to a verification process for allowable operations
and management expenses specified therein;
231
e. The JV Company is encouraged to stipulate a fixed period for the

participation of the Government Entity. This period shall be determined
by the attainment of the Government Entitys objective in pursuing the
investment, or when the private sector partner is projected to be able to
proceed with the JV activity without further need of government support.
Further, the withdrawal of the Government Entitys capital contribution
before the expiration of the said period is likewise encouraged; provided,
that the divestment is made through competitive selection, initial public
offering (IPO), or any other means that promote competition, fairness and
transparency. The foregoing factors shall be accorded greater importance
than the financial impact or financial benefit of the proposed investment
to the Government Entity concerned.
f. In drafting the incorporation documents of the JV Company and other
contracts governing the relationship between the Government Entity and
the private sector participant, the parties should consider the following
guidelines: (1) clearly defined business objectives; (2) specified degree of
participation and the management roles of each party in the JV Activity;
(3) defined contribution of capital and ownership rights to property; (4)
specified division of the profits and losses; (5) identified dispute mechanism
to avoid management impasses that may produce deadlock or litigation;
(6) specified termination/liquidation of the JV Company and indicate
buy-out provisions; (7) specified confidentiality terms; and (8) stipulated
indemnification mechanisms.
6.3 If the formation of a JV Company is not the best mode to implement a JV
Activity as determined by the Government Entity, it may opt to implement the
JV project through a contractual agreement. Prior to entering into a Contractual
JV, the parameters similar to those governing JV Companies under Section 6.2
(f) herein are to be observed.
7.0 Process for Entering into JV Agreements. Prior to entering into a JV Agreement,
the proposed JV activity shall be approved in principle, in accordance with the
procedure stipulated below:
7.1 Approval in Principle by the Head of a Government Entity. For JV Agreements
regardless of cost, the Head of the Government Entity concerned shall have
the authority to approve the proposed JV Agreement in principle, subject to the
compliance to the conditions listed hereunder:
a. Justification that the JV activity is within the mandate and charter of the
Government Entity concerned as certified and notarized by the head of the
Government Entity;
232
b. Clear description of the proposed investment, including its activities,

objectives, source(s) of funding, extent and nature of the proposed
participation of the investing Government Entity, period of participation
of the Government Entity, and the relevant terms and conditions of the
undertaking under the proposed JV Agreement, among others;
c. Justification as to the responsiveness and relative priority of the proposed JV
activity in meeting national or specific development goals and objectives;
and
d. All other components of the JV Agreement, including the technical,
financial, legal and other aspects in determining the over-all feasibility of
the proposed JV activity, among others, shall be established.
7.2 For JV activity that will require national government undertakings, subsidies
or guarantees, clearance/approval of the Department of Finance (DOF) and/or
the Department of Budget and Management (DBM), as the case may be, shall
be secured.
7.3 Modes of Selecting a JV Partner
a. Competitive Selection The process for the conduct of Competitive
Selection, contract award and final approval shall be stipulated under
Annex A of these guidelines. In the conduct of the Competitive Selection
process, the Government Entity shall ensure the following:
i. all activities during the competitive selection, award, and final approval
are conducted in a transparent and competitive process that promotes
accountability and efficiency; and
ii. the competitive selection parameters are clearly defined and shall
include the parameters as approved by the Head of the Government
Entity.
b. Negotiated Agreements Negotiated agreements may be entered under
the following circumstances:
i. When a Government Entity receives an unsolicited proposal;
ii. When there is failure of competition when no proposals are received
or no private sector participant is found qualified and the Government
Entity decides to seek out a JV partner; and
233
iii. When there is failure of competition, i.e., there is only a single interested
party remaining as defined under VIII(6) of Annex A.
In the case of subsection b(iii) above, the procedures outlined in Annex B
(Limited Negotiation Procedures in case of Failed Competitive Selection under
Section 6 of Annex A of the Guidelines) shall apply. Subsections b(i) and
b(ii) shall be governed by the rules under Annex C (Detailed Guidelines for
Competitive Challenge Type Procedure Public-Private Joint Ventures).
7.4 Deviations and Amendments to the JV Agreement. The concerned Government
Entity shall not proceed with the award and signing of the contract if there are
material deviations from the parameters and terms and conditions set forth in
the proposal/tender documents that tend to increase the financial exposure,
liabilities, and risks of government or any other factors that would cause
disadvantage to government and any deviation that will cause prejudice to
losing private sector participants. Said material deviations and amendments
shall be subjected to the approval requirements under Sections 7.1 and 7.2
hereof. The Head of the Government Entity concerned shall be responsible for
compliance with this policy. Violation of this provision shall render the award
and/or the signed JV Agreement invalid.
Any amendment to a JV Agreement after award and signing of contract, which
does not materially affect the substance of the competitive selection, shall be
subjected to the requirements stipulated under Sections 7.1 and 7.2 hereof.
Noncompliance with the corresponding approval process stated shall render
the amendment null and void.
8.0 Reporting Requirement. During the course of implementation of the JV
Agreement, the concerned Government Entity shall submit an annual report on the
status of its implementation during a current year to the Department of Finance, for
monitoring purposes. The annual report shall be submitted within the first quarter
of the succeeding year. The report shall use current standards in the production of
corporate annual reports and shall include the audited financial statements of the JV.
In addition, the report shall also contain the JVs work program for a period of three (3)
years starting from the year the annual report is issued.
Pursuant to Section 10 of EO No. 423, the heads of government entities as defined in
Section 5 of these Guidelines, shall submit to NEDA the salient features and a copy
of JV Agreements amounting to at least Three Hundred Million Pesos (P300 Million)
together with all documents required thereto for monitoring of compliance with
relevant policies, procedures and conditions for approval of the JV undertaking.
234
9.0 Amendments. These Guidelines may be amended and/or modified from time to
time by NEDA through its Director-General, in consultation with the GPPB and the
OGCC.
10.0 Separability. If any provision of these Guidelines is held or declared void
or unenforceable by final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction, the other
provisions unaffected thereby shall remain in full force and effect.
11.0 Effectivity. These Guidelines and any subsequent amendment or modification
shall take effect fifteen (15) calendar days from the date of its publication in a newspaper
of general circulation or the Official Gazette or other modes legally acceptable, and
a copy of it shall be submitted to the Office of the National Administrative Registry
(ONAR) and the UP Law Center.

offer shall be determined to include the original proposal of the private
sector entity. If the Government Entity determines that an offer made by a
comparative private sector participant other than the original proponent
is superior or more advantageous to the government than the original
proposal, the private sector entity who submitted the original proposal
shall be given the right to match such superior or more advantageous
253
offer within thirty (30) calendar days from receipt of notification from the
