What are the deficiencies in the sector of bidding agencies? (Detailed sub-points)

Analysis of the main problems of the bidding agency

(a) the management mechanism is not smooth, multiple management, fragmentation

The bidding law, article 14 provides that the bidding agency engaged in the bidding agency business of engineering and construction projects, the qualification of the State Council or the people's governments of provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities directly under the Central People's Government of the competent department for the construction of the construction of the qualification is identified ......; Article 4 of the Opinions on the Division of Responsibilities of the Relevant Departments of the State Council for the Implementation of Administrative Supervision of Bidding and Tendering Activities stipulates that the qualifications of bidding agents engaged in the bidding agency business of various types of engineering and construction projects shall be determined by the competent administrative department of construction; and the qualifications of bidding agencies engaged in the bidding agency business of imported electromechanical equipment purchase in connection with engineering and construction The qualifications of the bidding agency are determined by the administrative department in charge of foreign trade and economic cooperation; the qualifications of the bidding agency engaged in other bidding agency business are determined by the relevant administrative departments according to the current division of responsibilities; the "Administrative Measures for the Qualification Recognition of Bidding Agents for Central Investment Projects" stipulates that for fixed asset investment projects using the central government's budgeted investment funds, special construction funds, and other central financial investment funds, the bidding agency entitled to act as the bidding agent for the project shall be determined by the competent department. The qualification of the bidding agency is recognized by the National Development and Reform Commission. In addition, there are water conservancy, transportation, railway and medical and many other industries are the qualification of bidding agencies, industry management of various types of qualification requirements, resulting in the duplication of bidding agency qualification and cross-identification, not only increase the burden on enterprises, but also cause the bidding agency market segmentation, so that the bidding and tendering system emphasizes the fairness and impartiality of the source of the setting up of a variety of monopolies and industry barriers to entry

(2) unreasonable fees, industry development is hindered

Reasonable fees, is a constraint on the sound development of the bidding agency another important reason. First, the bidding agency fees and the current price level and the bidding agency to provide bidding agency services there is a gap between the bidding agency, hindering the scale of the bidding agency to expand and develop. At present, the bidding agency to provide bidding agency service charges are based on the 2002 development of the "bidding agency service charges management interim measures" (counting price 1980), and with the bidding agency to provide bidding consulting services business continues to expand and the content of the depth of the bidding agency has not been able to fully adapt to the new market changes, in particular, the engineering agency contract amount of less than 10 million yuan of the project and higher than 200 million yuan of projects, the amount of its fees is often insufficient to cover the costs incurred by the bidding agency.

The second is the "Interim Measures for the Administration of Bidding Agency Service Charges" Article 10 provides that the bidding agency services to implement the "who entrusts who pays" principle, but in practice, due to the use of government investment funds and state-owned investment projects in the investment project did not take into account the cost, resulting in the bidding agency's remuneration is often not paid by the construction unit, but passed on to the construction unit to pay. Paid by the construction unit, but transferred to the winning bidder or disguised form of payment, squeezing the profit margin of construction enterprises.

(C) the quality of practitioners vary, the lack of professional bidding agent

Tendering agency is to provide professional services to social intermediary organizations, its core competitiveness should be its own professionals, practitioners should not only know the professional and technical knowledge, but also know the project management and legal knowledge, with the ability to coordinate the integrated, have a high moral character, but currently, many bidding agencies have the ability to provide professional and technical knowledge, but also know the project management and legal knowledge, with the ability to coordinate the integrated, have high moral character. But at present, many bidding agencies have such conditions of the personnel is relatively small, and have these conditions of the agency is unable to play the real advantages of such personnel.

The bidding agency market mechanism and benefit distribution mechanism is not smooth caused by the bidding agency personnel quality is uneven the main reason. In the monopoly position and monopoly industry bidding agency, its corporate profits, employee benefits and higher income, can attract quality and level of talent, but because of its monopoly position and advantageous conditions do not need too much innovation and competition, thus do not need to play the intellectual advantages of high-quality personnel. Fierce market competition, low profitability of the bidding agency to ensure their own corporate profits, can not provide better pay and benefits to attract high-level talent, their own training out of the talent but may be because of their own quality and choose to join the monopoly background of the enterprise to realize their own value, resulting in the enterprise can not recruit talent, training of talent and can not support the vicious circle of talent.

(D) market competition is disordered, vicious competition is very serious

Unequal market competition environment, lower profit margins and practitioners of uneven lead to the bidding agency industry, another bad phenomenon is the market competition is disordered, the same industry vicious competition is serious.

Some bidding agencies in the bidding agency business, in order to obtain the qualification of the agency ignores the bidding agency fee standards and business costs, arbitrarily reduce the price of agency services, the formation of vicious price competition, further reducing the bidding agency services industry's profit margins.

And some of the bidding agency in the competition with competitors in the same industry, disregard for corporate ethics, arbitrarily denigrate competitors, the so-called behind-the-scenes shady and the industry's "unspoken rules", deepening the community's misunderstanding of the bidding agency industry and prejudice, jeopardizing the healthy development of the industry.

(E) the community does not understand the bidding agency industry, bidding agency development is uneven

Many bidders lack of understanding of bidding, bidding agency to provide professional services is not clear, but also caused by the development of bidding agency is not balanced for an important reason.

Because of the construction project has a large scale of investment, long construction period, social concern and other characteristics, the project bidders in the choice of bidding agency for its services is very careful, in the absence of understanding of the bidding agency industry in general will be able to choose class A bidding agency not to choose the qualification conditions of the low level B and provisional level of the bidding agency, can choose the well-known performance of the bidding agency on the more The bidding agency that can choose the well-known bidding agency with many achievements will not choose the general bidding agency with few achievements. Resulting in the phenomenon of "more and more performance of the bidding agency contracted performance, less and less performance of the contracted performance, no performance of the performance of the never performance". According to incomplete statistics, the top ten bidding agencies in Beijing, the bidding agency business completed by the city's use of bidding agency projects accounted for 47% of the total number of other 281 agencies only 53% of the market share, the formation of a de facto monopoly, to a certain extent, affecting the bidding agency industry and the development of the construction industry.
