In recent years, with the state-owned enterprises in material and equipment bidding system, mechanism and procedures for the continuous improvement of material and equipment bidding increasingly standardized bidding, plugging many loopholes, to strengthen the management of the enterprise has played a positive role. However, it should be sobering to see that there are still some problems and deficiencies in the bidding activities should not be ignored. Below, combined with work practice, on the material and equipment bidding problems, causes, hazards and should take measures and countermeasures to do some rough exploration.
First, the main problems
State-owned enterprises in the material, equipment bidding activities in the problems, mainly in the following aspects:
1. In accordance with the requirements of the bidding management system and procedures, big brown materials, equipment, before bidding and procurement, should be related to the unit's qualifications, reputation, product quality, price, technical performance and other conditions for inspection before determining whether to participate in the bidding. At present, some units due to time constraints, can not carry out a normal inspection or inspection time in a hurry and can not achieve the desired purpose, some just phone to learn about the situation; some believe that it is an old customer, the situation does not need to know, resulting in many should bidding units to grasp, understand the situation in mind, (such as the current price of similar products, equipment, performance, etc.) seriously affects the bidding work smoothly. In addition, some bidding-related information can not be sent in a timely manner to the relevant departments and judges in the hands, so that they can not understand in a timely manner, familiar with the situation of bidding, when it can only be rushed, is not conducive to the smooth progress of the bidding process.
2, to determine the bidding units are inclined. First, before the bidding, some units to the bidding department clearly put forward, a unit is our old supplier, the equipment must be the supply of so-and-so manufacturers or companies, so that the organization of the bidding department of the left and right difficult to determine the bidding unit there is a clear tendency and exclusionary. Resulting in many good quality, low-priced products and equipment manufacturers are difficult to be shortlisted for bidding. Secondly, the competent authorities to determine the bidding unit unreasonable and unfair. Some bidding units less than 3 or more on the organization of the bidding; some bidding manufacturers of production scale, management level, product quality is not on the same platform, the same grade, to find some production scale, product quality is low, small factories to fill the number of accompanying the bidding; some notify a number of remote small factories to bidding, but also does not implement the bidding whether it is able to participate in the bidding, the result is that there is a remote, small factories can not be on time to participate in the bidding will be left with only 1-2 As a result, some remote and small factories could not attend the bidding meeting on time, and only 1-2 related companies were left, which turned the bidding into negotiation. It is difficult to form a reasonable and fair competitive situation.
3, bidding documents are not standardized. Some of the bidding documents on the product, equipment, technical requirements are not clear; some of the equipment brand or supporting equipment brand is not clear; some configuration is not clear, some of the technical parameters of the error, etc., so that the bidding unit can only be according to their own understanding of the bidding, the result is that the manufacturers reported that the brand is different, different configurations, the price difference is very large, and the quality of the difference is very far, will inevitably lead to the bidding will be, temporary unified brand, Harmonization of configuration, requiring manufacturers to re-quote, delayed bidding time, so that the bidding will not be compact, not tight.
4, bid inquiry, bid evaluation is not fair. Some units, departments and leaders of the expert judges hired in the bid inquiry, bid evaluation before, in advance, greetings, engage in hints, authorize so-and-so unit won the bid; some judges are not high level of business, only by their own impression and relationship to the bid inquiry and bid evaluation, bid inquiry, the relationship between the family only mention the advantages, not to mention the shortcomings of the other competitors only mention the shortcomings of the relationship between the family to highlight the aspects of the rivals are better than the opponents, and so on. In the bid evaluation, some expert judges express their opinions with obvious tendency, thus affecting other judges; some do not announce the bid evaluation result on the spot, but study and determine it afterwards. Make the bid evaluation work is not serious, not just, not fair.
5, string bidding, accompanied by bidding phenomenon occurs. Some of the bidding units are less, only two or three, and is the same product, the distribution staff are familiar with each other, easy to crosstalk with each other. There are also the same area of the same product unit bidding, its salesman was the same unit, more likely to bid against each other. At the same time, the above two cases are also easy to reach an agreement with each other, there are accompanied by bidding, we take turns to win the bid or secretly raise the bid price, damage to the interests of enterprises, so that the bidding is a mere formality.
6, leakage of bids and offers should not be ignored. Procurement of large amounts of project bidding, all aspects of concern more people. Some bidders in order to win in the competition, multi-party relations, find a way, always want to know the leadership, judges and staff in the bidding and other competitors in the offer secret. As a result, phone calls, the use of cell phones to send text messages, leaving the bidding venue to pass the message of the leakage of confidentiality problems occur from time to time. Can not really reflect the fairness and impartiality of the bidding process.
Second, the causes of the problem and the harm
The bidding process in the disorderly, unprincipled competition, the harm is obvious. First, it disrupts the normal market economic order. Causing the scale of investment in fixed assets of enterprises out of control and loss of assets. Secondly, it is difficult to guarantee the quality of products and equipment, which brings great hidden danger to safety production. Third, it is easy to lead to the breeding and spread of corruption, for the occurrence of illegal and disciplinary cases provide the soil and conditions. The reasons for this are as follows:
First, economic interests drive. Bidding violations, in the final analysis, are driven by economic interests, mostly to individuals or small groups to reap the benefits, while the damage is the interests of enterprises and employees, some bidding units in order to survive in the competitive market or to obtain profits, by any means necessary, pulling the corrosion of the use of equipment units, the bidding management department of the leadership and staff, so that they are not in accordance with the procedures for bidding units to provide cheating convenience, etc., which is the problem. Provide cheating convenience, this is the main reason for the problem.
Second, the legal system is weak. Although the state for bidding management has developed a series of laws and regulations, the Group has also developed a relevant management system, but some units and individuals still know the law, know the mistakes. Do not comply with the bidding procedures and regulations, do not restrain their own behavior, take advantage of the benefits have been accustomed to, to the relationship between the bidder to open the door has become natural. This is an important reason for the problem.
Third, the imbalance between supply and demand. Currently, most of the product supply exceeds demand, excessive competition will inevitably lead to disorderly competition or even vicious competition, equipment manufacturers and sales staff in order to win in the competition, is often not the means to attack, in order to achieve the purpose of marketing their products out.
Fourth, insufficient supervision. The reason why there are many loopholes in the bidding process, to the wrongdoers have the opportunity to take advantage of the supervision and management is not in place, not strong, backward means of monitoring, supervision and management of the force is insufficient; not strictly in accordance with the procedures of the whole process, all-round supervision, business is not familiar with the situation is not understood; illegal hand but section hidden, supervision is difficult to be another reason for the problem.
Third, the main measures and countermeasures
1, effectively strengthen education, standardize professional ethics. To bidding staff on a regular basis for legal education, so that they know the law, abide by the law and use the law, consciously use the law to constrain themselves, and always do the alarm bells ringing. To regulate professional ethical behavior, to be principled, righteous, not illegal, not false, not leaks. To strengthen integrity education, improve self-discipline, stand up to all kinds of temptation, really build an unbreakable, unbreakable integrity, moral defense.
2, strict implementation of the system to improve business. To strictly implement the higher and group companies related to bidding system and related procedures and regulations, in accordance with the procedures and provisions of the strict organization of the bidding meeting, and effectively implement the principle of openness, fairness and impartiality to the entire bidding process. To strengthen the bidding staff business capacity training, so that they are familiar with the bidding business and procedural provisions, and constantly improve the quality and level of business, so that the bidding work is more standardized and more reasonable.
3, strengthen the process of supervision, strengthen the implementation of measures. To implement the whole process of bidding open, the whole process of supervision. Bidding unit pre-qualification, bid opening, bid inquiry, announced the results of the winning bid should be carried out openly within a certain range, the supervisory department should be involved in the whole process, seriously investigate and deal with fraud, serial bidding, bid-raising irregularities and disciplinary actions. Bidding authorities should strengthen their responsibilities, clearly define the division of labor, and ensure that the information is complete and properly stored, so that every bidding project can be documented. In order to prevent the occurrence of leakage of confidentiality in bidding, if necessary, centralized custody of communication tools, not to disclose the results of the first offer and other measures; in order to solve the problem of determining the bidding unit tendency and bidding for fewer manufacturers, the use of the unit, bidding authorities, the relevant business sector and supervisory departments **** with the determination of the bidding unit method. Where tenders are required, there shall be no fewer than three bidding manufacturers or companies whose qualifications, integrity, products, equipment quality and technical performance are on the same platform. No special circumstances, can not be identified in the same city or region more than 2 similar products, equipment manufacturers to bid the same kind of bid.
4, carefully organized visits, a comprehensive grasp of the situation. Units and bidding authorities, we must do a good job of formal bidding before the bidding unit of the preliminary investigation work, to be familiar with its qualifications, integrity, products, equipment quality, price and technical performance and other relevant information; to understand the price and technical performance of other similar products, equipment through a variety of ways, and comparative identification, to truly grasp the current market price; at the same time, to understand the bidding unit's products, equipment, and quality problems in the use of other units. At the same time, to understand the bidding unit's products, equipment in other units of the use of the situation and quality issues. To determine the bidding unit, the bidding process for the bidding inquiry, bidding to provide sufficient information and data to ensure.
5, strengthen the inspection and guidance, improve the management system. Group company bidding department, we should regularly inspect and guide the bidding situation of their units, summarize the good experience and good practices in a timely manner, to identify problems and deficiencies, and constantly improve and standardize the bidding management system, so that the bidding work is more standardized and more effective.
In short, the state-owned enterprises to implement the material and equipment bidding procurement, to strengthen business management, to promote sound and rapid development of enterprises to play a positive role, should be improved in practice, and constantly standardized, so that it plays its due role.
