Under DepEd Memorandum 049, all procurement activities of the agency are required to begin before the next fiscal year begins to prevent delays in the delivery of materials and wastage of perishable items such as food.
This means that DepEd offices may start posting procurement opportunities for contractors and for the agency's procurement team to recommend the awarding of contracts even before President Marcos approves the 2025 budget.
