The qualification conditions that suppliers should have in the bidding documents are too high or unreasonable
The bidding documents require suppliers to provide in the pre-qualification for the product manufacturer's authorization or authorization of the product's sales head office; in order to prevent copies of the counterfeit, many tenders require important Qualification to provide the original, the bidder is required to provide bidding information for a product manufacturer's original certificate of authorization and so on. This need to qualify the original requirements, but also to varying degrees to the manufacturers to provide control of goods to manipulate the market price of the opportunity, but also to a very small number of qualified suppliers profiteering provides a good prerequisite, thus damaging the interests of the purchaser.
In fact, in general, manufacturers in a region of the seller distribution authorization mainly depends on the scale of sales, sales of small-scale areas of a no, some manufacturers only to a good relationship with the dealer authorization, and other suppliers due to the inability to obtain authorization (although they can get in line with the requirements of the bidding documents of the product) can not participate in the project, the results of the eligible The result is that the eligible ones are unwilling to participate in the project, and those who want to do the procurement project can not enter the project, which ultimately leads to less than three effective bidders, abortive bidding or string of accompanying bids to make the price inflated. In fact, such a requirement is a bit out of practice, which requires the qualification review both discipline and supervision, so as not to go through the motions; more flexibility and alternative practices.
Procurement content of the purchased equipment quality, origin, model and configuration requirements are not reasonable
Now the tender technical specifications are written without a unified specification, often looking for a company's product promotional materials, copied wholesale; or on the designation of a particular brand model or for a brand model to develop technical parameters. Do not distinguish between primary and secondary, can write all write, listing dozens or even hundreds of articles. To accurately and accurately express the technical requirements of the tender, and sometimes have to weigh the words. For example, the size of the surgical bed, can be written in millimeters, a look is copied. Like this there is room for loosening the "amount", the flexible way to deal with the size of the note next to the "reference size". Where dispensable, delete for good; where "high quality", "durable", "low noise", "convenient and flexible "a class of vague qualifying modifiers, try to replace it with an operable, determinable expression. Some bids also on the product of the electrical safety standards requirements, in fact, this is redundant requirements, the reason is that the national electrical safety standards are mandatory, otherwise it is not to get the "medical device registration certificate".
Some of the tender documents in the abolition of the bidding provisions of too much abuse, bidding if there are omissions that is the abolition of the bid, so that after the evaluation of the bidding documents in line with the requirements of the supplier less competitors. For these cases, to strengthen the bidding documents for the record review of the main technical parameters of the bidding documents is not universal, if necessary, can organize relevant personnel to conduct market surveys, the bidding documents in the discriminatory provisions, unfair, unreasonable requirements, should urge the purchasing unit, the government procurement department or procurement agency to make modifications, or to invite a number of industry experts to review the bidding documents first! In order to make the bidding documents meet the requirements of fairness and reasonableness without any discriminatory clauses. At the same time, the abolition of the bidding provisions should also be established in accordance with the law, shall not be arbitrarily added.
Cautious use of "original", abandon the word "origin"
"Original" means "original local direct production "The fact is that with the rapid integration of the global economy In fact, with the rapid development of global economic integration, the increase in the number of multinational corporations (factories), the global procurement of components, OEM mode, etc., so that a piece of equipment, thousands of components, assemblies and parts from all over the world, the world has become a big factory, can not talk about "original". With the global economic integration in the popularization of people's concepts should be careful to use "original". Medical Device Registration Certificate" annex page with "producer's address" and "production site address" two columns, the two addresses are not the same, usually not in one place, and may even be located in two countries. Generally, the purchasing unit is concerned about the "address of the production site", while the bidding unit will choose a developed country/city as the place of origin from among the two. In order to avoid differences, it is recommended to abandon the term "origin" and use the "medical device registration certificate" on the "production site address", so that the evaluation and acceptance of the equipment, there is a clear basis for evaluation.
Budget price is set too low
Some purchasers or management always put the project budget price to the lowest point, and even the necessary costs (such as taxes, travel costs, etc.) are not taken into account, so that the field suppliers are deterred, do not dare to compete with local suppliers. The cost of bidding and the cost of performance after winning the bid is relatively high compared to local suppliers due to the long distances traveled by foreign suppliers, and their bidding price may exceed the budgeted price, which will lead to the abolition of the bid in accordance with the Government Procurement Law. Or because the budget price is set too low, foreign suppliers will not feel cost-effective and do not participate in the bidding, and the local qualified suppliers and less, making the bidding documents for the substantial response to less than three bidders rejected or lack of competitors so that the purchasing unit to the detriment of.
Payment is too harsh
Some tens of thousands of dollars or even a few thousand dollars of procurement projects, the supplier as scheduled performance and acceptance, according to the bidding documents, the payment method for 1 year after the full payment, the winning supplier can not recover or in a long time to recover the full contract price, this situation will greatly discourage suppliers, especially foreign suppliers to participate in the bidding competition This situation will greatly discourage suppliers, especially those from overseas, from participating in the bidding competition. The implementation of the payment method according to the different grades of the equipment payment.
The evaluation of some human factors
Some of the medical equipment procurement projects, the expert jury is questionable whether the level of "professional". Each bid evaluation experts have their own familiar products and unfamiliar products, so in the bid evaluation should be grouped according to the category of equipment bid evaluation. In the bid evaluation process, each judge is not really understand or know the legal responsibilities and obligations, is not strictly in accordance with the bid evaluation procedures, in accordance with the project bidding documents in accordance with the project content, bid evaluation principles and evaluation methods for evaluation. Otherwise, it will also make the bidding activities are not as desired.
Information dissemination is not timely enough
Some procurement projects in the required bid opening time is still no one to bid. Procurement project information should not be released only in the bidding portal, but to multi-channel timely public release, so that bidding suppliers can be through different media, website, in a shorter period of time to understand the project procurement information, if necessary, the relevant staff of the government procurement department, but also according to the eligible "supplier pool", telephone Notify the suppliers to participate in the project competition.
The main accessories and consumables should be in the tender
Attached to the page at the same time offer
Because of the increasing transparency of the bidding activities, and the competition between the bidders is more and more intense, and sometimes they are on the instrument offer is really low, and even the suspicion of loss of money, but they are in order to earn a high profit later on the consumables and the control of the accessories, but also to do, so Hospitals in order to instrument the supply of late supplies and major accessories and price control, to prevent suppliers from asking for prices, should require the instrument's bidders in their bids to clearly provide supplies and major accessories (such as ultrasound probe, biochemistry bulbs and reagents, etc.) price, and write it into the contract, and it also provides a strong basis for the maintenance of the instrument in the future.
