General Santos City,The redevelopment of the General Santos City Public Market has been formally awarded to Robinsons Land Corporation (RLC) after the Public-Private Partnership (PPP) Prequalification, Bids and Awards Committee (PBAC) confirmed that the 150-day comparative challenge period closed with no competing proposals.
The PBAC, in a session held on August 18, 2025, at the City Economic Management and Cooperative Development Office (CEMCDO), reported that no entity purchased comparative proposal documents, paid the participation fee, or submitted any written intent to challenge the unsolicited proposal of RLC before the noon deadline.
In line with Republic Act No. 11966 or the PPP Code of the Philippines, and upon the Committee’s recommendation, the project was awarded to RLC as the Original Proponent. The modernization plan, tagged as the “Mallengke Project”
is expected to transform the decades-old public market into a modern facility that will improve commerce, enhance services, and expand opportunities for vendors and consumers.
PBAC Chairperson Atty. Rosendo A. Roque described the project as a landmark development under the leadership of City Mayor Lorelie G. Pacquiao, stressing its potential to boost trade, create jobs, and uplift the lives of future generations in General Santos City.
The City Government emphasized its commitment to transparency and accountability, noting that the proceedings were livestreamed through its official Facebook page for public viewing.
Updates on the contract signing and implementation phase are set to be announced in the coming weeks.
