Benefits: Improve the efficiency of government procurement, simplify the government procurement procedures and costs.
Disadvantages: The law and relevant regulations do not recognize "follow the bid", easy to cause complaints.
In the bidding or procurement should be reported to the relevant departments for approval, in accordance with the bidding law and government procurement regulations, the government should have specific implementation rules, I do not know whether you are the owner or construction unit or supply unit, such as the latter can find the owner, that is their responsibility, such as the owner, then from the project to find the reasons for the specific operating procedures, look at the next place where not to fulfill the relevant provisions. Please refer to the following article: Comparison Difference between Tendering System and Government Procurement System
Tendering system is a kind of organized purchase of goods, services or works of the transaction, it is through a certain range of public purchasing information, describing the goods to be purchased or the project's trading conditions, inviting suppliers or contractors to submit quotations in the time limit set, and after a comparative analysis, to determine the most favourable terms of the bidders with whom the contract is signed. After the reform and opening up in 1979, China took tendering as a limited way to introduce competition mechanism and promote the reform of economic system.
The government procurement system is a management tool to regulate the behavior of government procurement, which is a control system for the central government, local governments and other entities stipulated by law to procure materials, works or services from the society in a statutory manner and to manage the procurement process. It includes: the development and approval of procurement plans, the formulation of contract terms, the management and supervision of procurement procedures, and the audit and inspection of procurement effects. In short, the government procurement system should include systems related to government procurement, government procurement management and operation agencies, and supervision and inspection agencies.
The tendering system is closely related to the government procurement system, and the tendering system is the most important procurement method of government procurement. The purpose of establishing a government procurement system is to optimize the procurement results to the maximum extent possible through a rational and efficient operational means, thereby saving government expenditure and ultimately taxpayers' money. This requires the government to have a set of strict order and protocols to regulate the behavior of the purchaser. Tendering is the process of obtaining quality goods or items by publicizing procurement information, recruiting suppliers or contractors extensively, and creating competition among sellers. Therefore, from the beginning of the establishment of the government procurement system, the public tender as a means of government procurement as a specific procedure, so that people in the concept has been tendering and government procurement as one. However, tendering and government procurement system is still very different.
First of all, the government procurement system is regulated by the government sector for their own consumption and government investment in public **** business and procurement. Specifically, government departments include the central government, local governments, various organizations and institutions established by the government and service enterprises. Procurement for public **** interests such as infrastructure built and operated by government investment in business.
Tendering system in any country does not have a special qualification of the user, devotee, any enterprise, organization or institution, as long as the need, beneficial and feasible, can be used in this way.
Secondly, the operation process of the government procurement system is different from tendering. The starting point of the bidding process is the issuance of tender notices, through the bidding, bid evaluation and winning, the award of the contract marks the end of the winning process. In contrast, the government procurement system begins with the management of the procurement plan, through the approval of the procurement plan, the review of the contract conditions, the determination of the procurement method and the impairment of the procurement process signing the contract. Fulfillment of the contract and finally to the review of the procurement results. Therefore, the government procurement system involves a wider scope, the management of the middle school longer, the requirements of the government procurement management department is also higher.
In addition, although the tender is the most important procedure of government procurement requirements, but it is not the only procedure of government procurement. In fact, which is the most cost-effective way, which should be the way of government procurement, only need to regulate and qualify, at the same time to determine the form of regulations. For example, when there are no special requirements for the specifications of the procurement project, the use of open tendering or invitational tendering may be the most reasonable way, and therefore, the Government Procurement Law has the provision that when the contract amount exceeds the amount, it must go through tendering. Another example, when the procurement project is more special, only one or a limited number of can supply, can not form competition; Or, government departments have special requirements for procurement of security, confidentiality, etc., it should be inquiry procurement or direct procurement. In this regard, the Government Procurement Act should also be a special provision to prevent people from using this reason to avoid bidding.
At present, countries around the world generally provide for four types of government procurement methods: open competitive bidding, limited competitive bidding, request for quotations and direct procurement. Correspondingly, under each procurement method is also limited to the choice of application.
China's use of bidding has nearly 20 years of experience, and the government procurement system in China is still in the establishment stage, a variety of relevant laws and regulations need to be drafted, the management body needs to be established, the original procurement system needs to be adjusted, modified. If we can summarize the lessons learned from the use of bidding for many years, it will be conducive to China's government procurement system as soon as possible to the right track.
