Original Audit Finding Excerpt
"Non-compliance with procurement timelines was observed, particularly in the issuance of NOA, which is required to be issued within 15 CDs from the BAC resolution declaring the winning bidder. However, delays ranging from 14 to 16 CDs were noted, thereby prolonging the process of contract awarding. Additionally, the approval of the winning bidder, which should occur within 10 CDs from receipt of the NOA, was also noted, thereby extending the timelines from 26 to 60 CDs after the NOA issuance."
