Subcontracting scope of application
One is the workload and tight schedule of large-scale projects. Some large-scale projects can not or it is difficult to have a successful bidder to complete, such as large volume of group works, large volume of finishing works, according to the location of the floor and the use of different functions, subcontracting implementation. Such as roads and municipal works can often be based on the region, location to achieve subcontracting. For the procurement of smaller projects is generally recommended not to subcontract, because the implementation of subcontracting may not be conducive to the management of the project, but also cause unnecessary waste of financial resources, the impact on the schedule is not obvious, and it is more difficult to achieve a clear division of the subcontracting situation.
The second is the professional requirements of the procurement project. If several parts of the procurement project professional requirements are far apart, different qualification requirements, different professional projects can be subcontracted to implement. In the case of the site allows, can be those professional and technical complexity and the need for professional qualifications of special projects, as a separate package for bidding. Commonly subcontracted projects include: installation of electrical and mechanical equipment, park greening works, intelligent systems, boiler room systems, and so on.
Third, the management requirements of the procurement project. Sometimes a procurement project content is basically close to the purchaser for ease of management, can consider subcontracting. Such as a large number of financial, tax invoice printing, social security center of the collection of special receipts printing, etc., can be based on different management requirements, as well as printing bills, vouchers, types of subcontracting.
Fourth, the same specialty special requirements. Such as split air conditioning fixed-point bidding or agreement bidding, can be based on a variety of air-conditioning specifications (such as 1 hp wall-mounted, 2 hp wall-mounted, 5 hp cabinet, etc.) subcontracting. For a variety of air-conditioning equipment supply procurement projects, such as some procurement projects both multi-connected, but also air-cooled heat pump units, chiller units, ground-source heat pump units, lithium bromide absorption chiller, etc., as well as air-conditioning equipment for the server room, can be procured in accordance with the subcontracting of different types of equipment.
Fifth, reflect the policy requirements. In some government procurement infrastructure projects, due to the air conditioning equipment accounted for a small proportion of the total budget, the procurement amount is relatively small, the purchaser is generally rarely used in the air conditioning separate subcontract bidding, separate bid evaluation. And this type of bidding naturally brings certain difficulties to the implementation of the mandatory procurement policy for air-conditioning. As project tenders are mainly for civil construction or other equipment, some of the requirements for air-conditioning equipment tenders, such as the requirement for detailed quotations and the requirement for energy-saving list catalogs, are not as specific as when air-conditioning is tendered separately, and the formulation of bid evaluation methods focuses more on infrastructural or other equipment. There will rarely be experts in air-conditioning in the evaluation committee, and even if there are, they may not know enough about the mandatory procurement policy for air-conditioning. Therefore, to reflect the policy requirements, separate subcontracting is recommended for equipment such as air conditioners that are mandatory purchases.
Advantages and disadvantages of subcontracting implementation
Advantages of subcontracting implementation:
First, subcontracting implementation can shorten the delivery and construction period. Due to subcontracting implementation, different units at the same time, can be invested in sufficient manpower, material and financial resources, to shorten the construction period to provide a guarantee.
The second is that subcontracting is conducive to competition. According to the nature of the project and professional subcontracting, is conducive to give play to the advantages of each professional enterprises, to attract bidders with a variety of advantages to bid.
Third, the mandatory procurement of equipment separately subcontracted, can be fully reflected in the evaluation criteria of the mandatory procurement policy, to strengthen the mandatory procurement policy landing.
Disadvantages of subcontracting implementation:
One is that in the process of subcontracting implementation, due to a number of independent enterprises, it will increase the number of temporary production and living facilities, material yards, and is prone to cross-interference with the use of the site site.
The second is that the implementation of subcontracting will add to the workload of the purchaser in the management, and the workload of bidding and purchasing has also increased. Due to the increase in the number of management objects, the organization and coordination between the subcontracts will also increase.
In summary, I believe that in the government procurement project bidding planning process, subcontracting is reasonable or not related to the government procurement project can be successfully implemented and achieve the expected procurement goals. In the actual operation process, subcontracting is not necessarily necessary, even if subcontracting is not too much. Some procurement projects due to too much subcontracting, procurement scale is small, resulting in too many bidders to prepare bids, the jury evaluation time is too long, while too dispersed is not conducive to the management and optimal allocation of resources.
Subcontracting implementation of the note
One is the subcontracting must be implemented independently of the bidding unit as a principle. The determination of the number of subcontracts should be conducive to both competition and management.
The second is that the bidding documents should be clear about the subcontracting interface. The sub-package, should be easy to delineate the boundaries of responsibility, especially in the interface of the interface of each section of the interface should be clear about their responsibilities, so as to avoid disputes and tug-of-war arising from unclear responsibilities.
Third, for the project, the layout of the site should be a good unified planning, both relatively independent, but also to facilitate the management; both to consider the relative independence of space, but also consider the rationality of the layout and security. The site of the water and electricity, wiring, road crossing location should be clear that the corresponding responsible party.
Fourth, for the same door number of the property procurement project, according to the relevant policy, can not be split into two projects overall subcontracting.
Fifth, the bidding documents, if it is clear that the same bidder can only win a package, then it must also be stipulated that the same bidder in different segments are ranked first how to decide the winning supplier, that is to say, it must be clear to vote for a number of packages of the bidding principle. For large-scale procurement projects with very tight schedules, in the production of bidding documents, the purchaser should take into account more than one package awarded to the same winning unit, the unit's management personnel and skilled workers, construction equipment and funds invested in the project, such as the ability to keep up with the resources. If there are genuine difficulties in completing the project for a single successful bidder, it should be made clear in advance in the solicitation documents that bidders may bid for more than one package at the same time, but that a bidder may only be awarded one package, which is the right of the purchaser and must be stated in the solicitation documents. If there is no prior clarification in the bidding documents, the same bidder in the packages are ranked first, it should be allowed to bid all the packages.
