1: 10 should refer to the ratio of "bidding limit for goods and services" to "bidding limit for engineering projects"

Bidding quota
At present, there are basically no laws and regulations on the bidding limit of goods and services in China, but the provisions on the bidding limit of engineering construction are inconsistent. The practice is that in terms of project bidding quota, the national average is controlled at the construction area 1 10,000 square meters or the investment 1 10,000 yuan; In terms of goods, according to statistics, the bidding contract of domestic mechanical and electrical equipment is mostly between 500-654.38+0 million yuan; As for services, basically a quota standard applies to people's goods. Therefore, at present, the general bidding limit in China is: (1) goods and services with a contract amount of more than 500,000 yuan; (2) Projects with a construction area of 1 10,000 square meters or an investment of 1 10,000 yuan or more; (three) other goods, projects or services that must be subject to tender according to laws and regulations. It should be noted that these bidding quotas refer to the amount of a single contract, which is not fixed, and the government should make appropriate adjustments within a certain period of time.
Judging from the bidding laws and regulations of foreign countries and international organizations (see attached table), the bidding quota has the following characteristics: (1) the bidding quota for goods and services is the same, and the ratio of bidding quota to bidding quota for engineering projects is generally controlled at around 1: 10; (2) The bidding limit of China government procurement entities is lower than that of sub-central government procurement entities (institutions), and the bidding limit of sub-central government procurement entities (institutions) is lower than that of other procurement entities (including public enterprises or other public units). This shows that the law has strict control over the procurement behavior of the central government, but relatively loose control over the procurement behavior of other bidding procurement subjects; (3) The bidding quotas for goods, projects and services stipulated by relevant international organizations and countries are basically the same, but they are different in some countries. For example, the procurement limit of central governments in various countries is generally set at 5 million SDR, Israel at 8.5 million SDR and Japan at 4.5 million SDR. This difference is the result of negotiations with the WTO before these countries joined the Agreement on Government Procurement. These are all worthy of our serious study.
