Who should sign the Conforme and Letter request?

The head of the requesting organization. This is due to the commitment and accountability for the payment of honoraria to assigned GPPB Recognized Trainer.

Can we directly invite resource persons to lecture for the procurement training?

We strongly encourage agencies to submit their request for training/RPs to the GPPB-TSO so we can formally endorse your request to your preferred GPPB Recognized Trainers. This is one of the conditions for procurement trainings to be recognized by the GPPB-TSO as provided in GPPB Circular 07-2018 issued in September 2018 Should you have questions regarding the procedure and requirements for recognition of training, you may refer to the above cited circular or send your query at training@gppb.gov.ph.

How much is the training fee per participant and how can we pay?

The GPPB-TSO does not impose training fees for training requests processed. Since only the resource persons shall be provided by the GPPB-TSO, and the cost of venue, meals and other training requirements will be arranged and shouldered by the requesting agency. The requesting agency however, must provide an appropriate amount of honoraria to the assigned Resource Person(s).

How much is the honoraria for RPs? Is there a standard rate? Can you provide sample computation?

There is no standard rate nor do we provide sample computation. The payment for Honoraria to the GPPB Recognized Trainers shall be in accordance with the Budget Circular No. 2007-1 dated 23 April 2007 issued by the Department of Budget and Management. Note that per said circular, the hours of preparation is considered, not only the hours of actual lecture. The requesting party shall coordinate with the Resource Person as identified in the Confirmation Letter for their Salary Grade and other documents that their respective finance department or unit may require from them for payment of the honoraria.

How shall we compute the honoraria for retired trainers?

Please refer to paragraph 4.3 of the Budget Circular No. 2007-1 dated 23 April 2007 issued by the Department of Budget and Management. To wit, "lecturers, RPs, coordinators, facilitators from the private sector may be paid honoraria at such rates as may be determined by the agency authorities concerned and by using the [above] formulas as guides." Should you have more questions regarding requirements and honoraria rates for private GPPB recognized RPs, please send your query at training@gppb.gov.ph.
