With the new APP format, do we still need supplemental APPs?

All changes to the APP are now captured in the Updated APP, which reflects both:

  • Revised entries, such as adjustments in schedule, procurement mode, or Approved Budget for the Contract (ABC); and
  • Unchanged entries carried over from the previous APP.

This approach ensures there is always a single, consolidated document that provides a complete view of all procurement activities. What was previously handled through a Supplemental APP under RA No. 9184—such as new projects, revisions in ABC, or changes in procurement schedules—is now incorporated directly into the Updated APP.
The Updated APP still undergoes the necessary processes: it must be reviewed by the BAC, approved by the HoPE.  The sample APP illustration demonstrates how all changes, whether revisions or new entries, are fully integrated in the Updated APP version.
