Government Procurement Management System for Philippine Agencies
Cosmotech GPMS helps government offices manage procurement plans, purchase requests, public bidding, contracts, payments, and reporting in one system. Built to support RA 9184 and RA 12009 reporting and monitoring requirements.
Procurement should be easier to track, approve, and report
Government procurement involves multiple departments, approvals, documents, deadlines, suppliers, and compliance requirements. Without a centralized system, tracking these activities becomes slow, manual, and hard to audit.
GPMS organizes procurement plans, requests, bidding activities, contracts, payments, reports, and supporting documents in one system.
Overview
