Discretion to Accept or Reject A Bid
Albay Accredited Constructors Association v. Ombudsman
30 January 2006
The discretion to accept or reject a bid and award contracts is vested in the government agencies entrusted with that function. The discretion given to authorities to accept or reject a bid is of such wide latitude that courts will not interfere, unless it is apparent that it is exercised arbitrarily, or, used as a shield to a fraudulent award. 57

COA’s Presence in Public Bidding
Villanueva v. COA
18 March 2005 Upon the agency that called for the bidding, therefore,
rests the burden of ensuring that the process undertaken is above-board and that the outcome thereof is most advantageous to the government. The presence of the COA representative, as witness or observer, on the other hand, is fundamental only to the extent of guaranteeing documentary integrity and transparency in the bidding process.
