The Light Rail Transit Authority (LRTA) has been recognized as Top Buyer in the Virtual Store category during the 25th anniversary celebration of the Philippine Government Electronic Procurement System (PhilGEPS) under PS-DBM. The award highlights LRTA’s significant utilization of digital procurement platforms in support of the agency’s operations and service delivery.

The Top Buyer recognition acknowledges government agencies that have demonstrated excellence in utilizing PhilGEPS’ Virtual Store for procurement transactions. LRTA’s active adoption of the online platform has enabled faster processing times, reduced paperwork, and increased transparency in acquiring essential goods and services for rail operations. This digital-first approach has strengthened the agency’s procurement efficiency while ensuring full compliance with government regulations.

The award was presented during PhilGEPS’ 25th anniversary program themed “Transforming Procurement Through Digitalization” (#BiliNaAtBiliPaDahilDigitalNa). The milestone celebration emphasized the system’s evolution under the National Government Procurement Authority (NGPA), which serves as the primary source of government procurement information and the main channel for conducting procurement activities across government agencies.

This achievement reinforces LRTA’s commitment to its core values of Resilience, Integrity, Professionalism, and Excellence. As the agency continues to embrace digital transformation in its operations, LRTA remains dedicated to delivering reliable and efficient rail transit services to the riding public through honest, accountable, and innovative procurement practices.
