Quezon City, capital of the Philippines between 1948 and 1976, has the biggest population of the Metro Manila region. More than 40% of its population is younger than 20 years.

Under the leadership of the Honorable Quezon City Mayor Josefina Belmonte, the Green Public Procurement Program of the City will be re-launched to adapt to the changing procurement landscape and in line with the administration’s thrust to create the Climate Change and Environmental Sustainability Department that will primarily lead the City’s GPP program.

The Quezon City General Procurement Office (GPO) is the main office tasked to facilitate the procurement of goods and services as well as infrastructure projects of all Departments and Offices of the City Government. Aside from the GPO, there are two committees overseeing the procurement process, these are the Bids and Awards Committee for Goods and Services and Bids and Awards Committee for Infrastructure.
