Following the declaration of Enhanced Community Quarantine (ECQ) in Metro Manila, which will be implemented from August 6 to 20, 2021, the delivery by PS option is suspended until further notice.
Except for urgently needed items, which shall be made known by the client-agencies upon request, the CSE ordered via the Virtual Store must be claimed or picked up at the PS-DBM Main Office in Paco, Manila.
Beginning 1 August 2021, your agency's procurement of common-use supplies and equipment (CSE) shall be made exclusively through the Virtual Store (VS).
This forms part of the digital transformation efforts of the Procurement Service - Department of Budget and Management (PS-DBM) to transition client-agencies to online processes and transactions amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
