MANILA, Philippines — The Commission on Elections (Comelec) will conduct a second and final round of public bidding today, Jan. 8, to find a technology provider for the 2025 midterm national elections.
The Comelec Special Bids and Awards Committee (SBAC) gave suppliers until Jan. 8 morning to submit their bids for the P18.8-billion contract.
The bids will also be opened on the same day. The Comelec SBAC declared the first round of public bidding last Dec. 14 a failure since the lone bidder, a consortium led by Miru Systems Co. Ltd. of South Korea, was found to lack some required documents.
