1, open principle. The principle of openness in government procurement means that laws, governments, procedures and procurement activities related to procurement should be made public, so as to increase the transparency of government procurement and resolutely oppose "black-box operation".
2. The principle of fairness. Government procurement should be conducted in a market-oriented way, and all bidders participating in the competition have equal opportunities and equal treatment. All interested suppliers, contractors and service providers are allowed to participate in the competition. Pre-qualification and bid evaluation use the same standard for all bidders. The information provided by procurement agencies to all bidders shall be consistent and shall not discriminate against domestic or foreign bidders.
3. The principle of efficiency. The principle of efficiency requires the government to save expenses, strengthen budget constraints and effectively improve the efficiency of capital use in the procurement process. Through fair competition, shopping around and choosing the best from the best, government procurement departments can use limited financial funds to buy more inexpensive goods or get efficient and high-quality services, so as to maximize the monetary value and realize the best combination of market mechanism and financial reform.
4. The principle of moderate centralization. The common practice in the world is that the financial department is in charge of government procurement, but at present, government procurement in China needs the coordination of multiple departments. Therefore, in the process of centralized and unified government procurement management system, attention should be paid to mobilizing the enthusiasm of departments and localities. On the premise of centralized procurement of major commodities and services, small-scale procurement can be completed by various departments under financial supervision.
