The Army will spend P4.9-million to buy 10 brand new transmission assemblies for its armored personnel carriers (APC).
A transmission
assembly provides mobility to the APC, which is used to transport troops and
provide close fire support during security operations.
The procurement
will be done through the Philippine International Trading Corp. (PITC), a
state-run firm formed to secure cost-effective procurement deals.
The bidding for
the project would be held next month, a notice published Thursday in The STAR
showed. The notice served as a formal invitation to prospective suppliers.
The bidding is
open to local and foreign suppliers, distributors, dealers or resellers of
transmission assemblies. Foreign firms, however, must be represented by a
Philippine-based company to be qualified.
The acquisition
will be done through open competitive bidding.
Potential
suppliers should have completed within the last five years from the date of
submission and receipt of bids at least one similar contract worth at least 50
percent of the approved budget of the project.
The term “similar
contract” is defined as a deal involving the purchase of APC spare parts.
