THE government will start its tender for the importation of rice allocated for small farmer cooperatives as early as March 28, the Bids and Awards Committee (BAC) said on Friday.
Atty. Gilberto Lauengco, spokesperson of the BAC, said they will publish in major newspapers by March 21 the invitation to bid for the 60,000 metric tons (MT) of rice to be imported by small farmer cooperatives.
“By Monday, March 21, we will publish the invitation to bid and by Wednesday we will release the bidding instruction to all interested farmers organizations. The bidding process will start seven days after,” Lauengco said.
He said the Department of Agriculture expects no delay in the auction for the 600,000 MT of rice imports, despite appeals by the private sector to postpone the bidding process by at least another week.
“Should they fail to pass all the requirements, we can have a second bidding immediately. But right now, we don’t expect any delays,” he added.
