Procurement that records itself, step by step. RA 9184, the government procurement law, is mostly a sequence and a set of deadlines. The trouble starts when that sequence lives across three folders and one person's memory instead of one place everyone can check.
The mode of procurement is a decision you record
Public bidding, shopping, small value, negotiated. Whichever mode your BAC picks sets what documents the system expects next. Choosing one and skipping its requirements is visible rather than silent.
The timeline is kept for you
Posting dates, submission deadlines and award periods are tracked against the transaction. What is late is listed as late, which is more useful before the deadline than after.
Procurement talks to budget
A purchase request checks against the appropriation it is drawn from before it advances. An obligation that exceeds its allotment stops at the office that can still do something about it.
Questions
Does iGAT decide the mode of procurement for us?
No. Your BAC decides and records it. The system holds the decision to its documentary requirements from that point on.
Can our BAC secretariat use it without the finance modules?
Technically yes, but it is worth less. The value is in procurement checking against real appropriations, and that needs Budget switched on.
