Request for Quotation Procurement Problems:
Request for Quotation information disclosure is narrower, confined to a limited number of suppliers, generally seldom in the government procurement information released on the designated media to publish request for quotations to be satisfied with the minimum requirement of three, the phenomenon of exclusion is more serious. From the Ministry of Finance designated government procurement information release media is difficult to find inquiry information, many inquiry program information is not public.
Not only do foreign suppliers have no way of knowing the relevant procurement information, but also local suppliers will encounter "information failure", many of the amount of the RFQ project is quite large, but the information is in a "confidential" state for the agency and the purchaser to implement the "backdoor operation". Implementation of the "backroom operation" provides a great convenience, some strong suppliers can only stand aside, "look at the inquiry", the purchaser's views have been very helpless.
