A minimum bid price of P885.746 million has been set for the targeted sale of the property that used to be the site of the Manila thermal power plant.
Asset-seller Power Sector Assets and Liabilities Management Corporation (PSALM) noted that this is already the second time it will be inviting prospective buyers of the property.
In the invitation to bid (ITB) that the company has republished, it stressed that the planned divestment would not be for a new project, rather, it is just to inform bidders of the prescribed floor price for the asset.
PSALM said it targets “to invite more bidders to participate in the bidding,” as it emphasized that when it issued its first ITB in December last year, the minimum bid price for the asset sale had not been disclosed at that time.
The state-owned company specified that it will be divesting the property to interested buyers on “as is, where is” basis.
This property-for-sale is in Isla de Provisor, which is along the Pasig River in Paco. Manila. It comprises of eight lots with a total area straddling 20,975 square meters.
“Any bid below the minimum bid price will be automatically rejected during the bid opening,” PSALM has stipulated.
The firm added that the “bidding is open to individuals and sole proprietorships, partnerships or corporation, joint ventures or consortiums, government corporate entities and local government units authorized by law to acquire, own, hold or develop real properties in the Philippines.”
The company emphasized that “if the bidder or any of its components is a corporation, it must be duly registered and organized under the laws of the Philippines,” and at least 60 percent Filipino-owned.
PSALM stressed that proceeds from the sale of assets shall augment funding sources that in turn, “will be used in servicing assumed financial obligations.”
