𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐜𝐮𝐫𝐄𝐱𝐜𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞: 𝐋𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐧. 𝐏𝐥𝐚𝐧. 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐜𝐮𝐫𝐞.

The University of Camarines Norte (UCN), through its Procurement Unit, successfully conducted 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐜𝐮𝐫𝐄𝐱𝐜𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞: 𝐋𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐧. 𝐏𝐥𝐚𝐧. 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐜𝐮𝐫𝐞. across all six UCN campuses on October 12–14 and October 19–21, 2026. The activity commenced on October 12 at Labo Campus, followed by October 13 at Jose Panganiban Campus and October 14 at Entienza Campus. It resumed on October 19 at Mercedes Campus, continued on October 20 at Abaño Campus, and culminated on October 21 at Main Campus.

This capacity-building initiative aimed to strengthen the knowledge and capabilities of procurement practitioners and end-user representatives in understanding procurement rules and procedures, improving procurement planning, and promoting efficient, transparent, and accountable procurement practices in accordance with the New Government Procurement Act (RA No. 12009) and its Implementing Rules and Regulations.

Through this initiative, end-user representatives gained a better understanding of the procurement process, particularly the conduct of Market Scoping, preparation of the Project Procurement Management Plan (PPMP), and preparation of Purchase Requests (PRs). The discussions also shed light on the reasons behind delays in procurement activities, including the procedural requirements and timelines prescribed under the IRR of RA No. 12009. By strengthening awareness, improving coordination, and promoting proper procurement planning, the activity encouraged end-users and procurement stakeholders to work together toward more timely, efficient, and compliant procurement processes.

With a stronger understanding of the IRR of RA No. 12009, our end-users are better equipped to plan responsibly, coordinate effectively, and contribute to a more seamless procurement process.
