The PS-PhilGEPS Team
Officials and staff of the Procurement Service – Philippine Government Electronic Procurement System (PS-PhilGEPS) conducted its Annual Strategic Planning Activities last August 19 and 20, 2015 at Fontana Leisure Parks, Clark Freeport Zone, Angeles, Pampanga. The objectives of the activities were: (1) to assess and evaluate the plans and strategies for the year 2015 and calibrate them to achieve if not exceed goals and targets; and (2) to develop plans which will be translated into specific goals, objectives, strategies, programs and projects for 2016. It was also the opportunity for higher management to discuss the recently-approved reorganization of the PS-PhilGEPS.

The workshop was opened by Executive Director Jose Tomas C. Syquia. He discussed the essential questions “Where are we now, where are we going, how are we going to get there, when are we going to get there and who will take us there” and stressed that each member of the organization has to work under a unified and robust system in order to move forward. He also mentioned that the organization must find ways to evolve by capacitating its people, working as a team with our partners as they are part of the supply chain and being outcome-focused and growth-oriented.
The Finance Group presented the performance of PS-PhilGEPS for 2014 as well as for the First and Second Quarters of the current year.
