The announcement was made through General Bid Bulletin No. 25-2016 issued by DOJ’s Pre-Qualifications, Bids and Awards Committee (PBAC) published on November 8, 2016.
The Regional Prison Facilities through PPP Project is the first PPP project for the DOJ and BuCor and the first of its kind in the country.
