The Procurement Service-Department of Budget and Management joined the Government Procurement PH - GPPB-Tso, the World Bank Group, and other reviewing institutions for the “Gender-Responsive Procurement: Supply-Demand Activation Pilot,” which operationalizes the inclusivity and gender-responsive mandates of the New Government Procurement Act (NGPA), on June 1, 2026, at the Westin Manila, Mandaluyong City.

The “GRP: Supply-Demand Activation Pilot” brought together women business enterprises (WBEs) and participating procuring entities (PEs). The morning featured the capturing of self-declaration data to record each enterprise's status and conduct of the Philippine Government Electronic Procurement System (PhilGEPS) platform tutorial and modernized PhilGEPS 2 orientation. Simultaneously, the PE teams assembled in a separate workroom to apply the new procurement templates to analyze whether their actual 2026 procurement categories were a good fit for women-led businesses.

The tracks reunited in the afternoon for a central convergence session where the PEs presented their morning work to the assembled WBE audience, followed by an interactive open forum.

In her closing remarks, Executive Director (ED) Genmaries Entredicho-Caong encouraged the participants to carry on with the current GRP action plans: “Our GRP efforts have produced a scalable blueprint for reform that provides a highly-repeatable framework across all government tiers…we will continue to accomplish (efforts) in the months to come in pursuit of a sustainably diversified national procurement.”

PS-DBM completed the GFPS Survey for 10 enterprises—consisting of one (1) Women-Led Business, one (1) Women-Dominated Cooperative, and eight Women-Owned Businesses, with five (5) already registered in PhilGEPS—while its Customer Service Division (CSD) assisted a total of 14 clients, including 13 merchants and one (1) agency.
