The New Government Procurement Act (NGPA) or Republic Act No. 12009 institutionalizes the Design-and-Build scheme for infrastructure projects taking advantage of private sector innovation and enhancing collaboration between designers and builders with a single point of responsibility for quality, cost, and scheduling of activities, including risks related to design.
Section 14 of the NGPA provides that Procuring Entities may consider employing the design-and-build scheme as a procurement approach whereby a single contractor is responsible for both the design and construction of the government building, which allows quality assurance and effective cost and schedule management.
This approach allows for more accurate budgeting and reduces the risk of cost overruns.
