With the coming bid submission deadline for the P1.72 Billion Automatic Fare Collection System (AFCS) project on Monday, 18 November 2013, the Department of Transportation and Communications (DOTC) expects to net the most number of bidders under the administration’s Public-Private Partnership (PPP) program so far.
“With only a few days to go before bid submission, our sense is that all five prequalified groups are still very much in the running,” said DOTC spokesperson Migs Sagcal.
“From what we understand, if all groups submit on Monday, this could be the highest number of bidders for a PPP project so far. That would mean more competitive bids, and it would show how well the project terms have been packaged,” Sagcal added.
