Bidding and Tendering Legal & Regulatory Framework

Core Legal Framework

Key Policy Documents 2024–2025

Procurement Methods (Article 26, Government Procurement Law)

Full Bidding and Tendering Process (7 Stages)

Stage 1: Pre-Tendering Preparation (Foundation Stage)

Core Objective: Clarify procurement requirements, determine tendering method, complete internal approvals

Key Steps:
1. Requirements Research & Confirmation: Collaborate with user departments to define specifications/models, technical parameters, quantities, delivery timelines, quality standards, after-sales service requirements → Output the Procurement Requirements Specification
2. Cost Estimation & Budget Approval: Finance department estimates reasonable budget based on market conditions, completes internal approval
3. Determine Tendering Method: Select compliant method based on procurement value, item specificity, and market competition level
4. Assemble Tendering Team: Procurement (lead) + Technical (evaluation parameters) + Finance (price evaluation) + Legal (compliance review) + User Department (requirements confirmation) → Output the Tendering Work Plan

Stage 2: Tendering Document Preparation & Publication (Information Disclosure Stage)

Core Objective: Prepare lawful, clear tendering documents without ambiguity

Key Steps:
1. Prepare Tendering Documents (core documents):
- Tendering Announcement: Project name, procurement content, bidder qualification requirements, registration method, document acquisition time/fee
- Instructions to Bidders: Bidding process, deadline, bid bond requirements (≤ 2% of budget), invalid bid scenarios
- Technical Requirements: Detailed parameters, quality standards, acceptance methods
- Commercial Terms: Key contract clauses, payment terms, delivery location, liability for breach, quotation requirements
- Evaluation Methods: Scoring dimensions and weights (must be objective and quantifiable)
2. Internal Review & Compliance Audit: Confirm parameters are non-discriminatory and clauses have no legal risk
3. Publish Announcement: Open tendering announcement period ≥ 5 working days (national designated platforms + corporate website)
4. Q&A Clarifications: Written questions by 10 days before deadline; Q&A Clarification Announcement published by 7 days before deadline

Statutory Time Limit: From the date of issuing tendering documents to the bid submission deadline ≥ 20 days

Stage 3: Bid Document Preparation & Submission (Supplier Response Stage)

Core Objective: Suppliers submit complete, compliant bid documents in accordance with tendering document requirements

Three Major Components of Bid Documents:

Bid Document Submission: Properly sealed, one original and one copy each, delivered to the designated location before the bid submission deadline. Late or unsealed submissions may be rejected by the tendering party.

Stage 4: Bid Opening & Evaluation (Core Decision Stage)

Bid Opening Process:
1. Open bids immediately after the bid submission deadline
2. Inspect the sealing condition of bid documents
3. Publicly announce bidder names, total bid prices, and bid bond payment status
4. Record in the Bid Opening Record, signed and confirmed by bidders

Evaluation Process:
1. Preliminary Review (qualification + compliance review): Review qualification supporting documents → Review bid document compliance → Non-compliant bids are determined as "invalid bids"
2. Detailed Evaluation (scoring and ranking): Score according to preset evaluation methods → Aggregate scores from all evaluators → Rank by total score from high to low → Determine winning bid candidates (1–3 candidates)
3. Issue the Evaluation Report, signed and confirmed by the evaluation committee

Evaluation Committee: Number of members ≥ 5 (odd number), experts ≥ 2/3. Independent scoring, no consultation on scores. Members with conflicts of interest with bidders must recuse themselves.

Stage 5: Award Decision & Public Announcement (Result Confirmation Stage)

1. Award Decision: Typically select the top-ranked winning bid candidate (unless there are circumstances such as fraudulent bidding or lack of performance capability)
2. Winning Bid Public Announcement: ≥ 3 working days, including list of winning bid candidates, scores, winning bid amount, and objection channels
3. Objection Handling: Written objections submitted during the public announcement period, tendering party responds within 3 days
4. Issue Notice of Award: Within 5 working days after no objections during the announcement period, carries legal effect

Stage 6: Contract Signing & Execution (Implementation Stage)

1. Contract Signing: Within 30 days after issuance of the Notice of Award, contract terms must be substantially consistent with the tendering documents and bid documents
2. Performance Bond: ≤ 10% of contract value, paid before contract signing, refunded without interest upon completion of performance
3. Acceptance: Acceptance conducted per the acceptance standards specified in the tendering documents, sign the Acceptance Report

Stage 7: Archiving & Retrospective Review (Closed-Loop Management Stage)

1. Document Archiving: Retain ≥ 15 years (statutory requirement for government procurement), including procurement requirements specification, tendering documents, bid documents, bid opening records, evaluation reports, winning bid announcements, contracts, acceptance reports, payment vouchers
2. Process Retrospective: Output the Retrospective Report to optimize subsequent practices

Evaluation Method System

Comprehensive Scoring Method (Most Commonly Used)

Core Legal Requirement (Article 34, Implementation Regulations for the Government Procurement Law):
> The score value settings in the evaluation criteria shall correspond to the quantified indicators of the evaluation factors.

Three Common Practices and Compliance Analysis:

Best Practices for Evaluation Factor Settings:
1. Baseline Parameters: Set as compliance conditions with one-vote veto (reduces the number of parameters requiring score assignment)
2. Critical Parameters: Assign higher scores than general parameters (reflects the advantage of superior products)
3. General Conditions: Consolidate and merge, avoid splitting into hundreds of individual parameters resulting in excessively low per-item scores
4. Verification: Confirm one-to-one correspondence between quantified indicators and quantified scores

Lowest Evaluated-Price Method

• Applicable to goods or services with uniform technical standards and strong generality
• Priority given to the lowest evaluated bid price
• For goods and service projects with uniform technical and service standards, the lowest evaluated-price method shall be used

Other Evaluation Methods

E-Bidding Platform Adaptation

Full-Process Digitalization

E-bidding platforms cover: Tendering announcement publication → Tendering document preparation → Bidding → Bid opening → Evaluation expert selection → Objection clarification → Award decision → Contract signing → Document archiving

Core Platform Functions:
- Structured tendering document preparation (reduces human error)
- Bid document creation tools
- CA digital certificates (encryption, decryption, electronic signature/seal)
- Remotecross-location evaluation
- Anonymous bid evaluation (bidder identity concealed)
- Intelligent assisted evaluation (automatic objective score calculation, automatic bid document positioning, intelligent information verification)
- Separation of evaluation and award decision (Separation of Evaluation and Award)
- Support for multiple evaluation methods

Remote Cross-Location Evaluation (NDRC Regulation [2025] No. 807)

Core Mechanism: Home-venue + deputy-venue collaboration

Separation of Evaluation and Award Decision (Separation of Evaluation and Award)

• Evaluation Stage: Experts evaluate according to rules, recommend winning bid candidates without ranking
• Award Decision Stage: Tendering party forms an award decision committee, selects the winning bidder based on merit
• Implements tendering party's primary responsibility, achieving alignment of authority and accountability

Bid Document Preparation In-Depth Guide

Key Points for Commercial Bid Preparation

Core Mission: Prove that "the company is qualified and capable of undertaking the project" (serves as a threshold function)

Essential Checklist:
1. Legal representative identity certificate
2. Corporate power of attorney (original must be the authentic original document)
3. Bid letter and bid letter appendix
4. Copy of bid security deposit payment voucher
5. Commitment to and supplementary comments on the bidding documents and contract terms
6. Business license, qualification certificate, work safety permit (note expiration dates)
7. Credit inquiry report (from official platforms such as "Credit China")
8. Credit certificate (issued by a bank)
9. Three major system certifications (quality management, environmental management, occupational health and safety)
10. Financial status statements for the past three years (with audit reports attached)

Common Mistakes: Expired qualifications, performance contracts missing amount pages, power of attorney being a copy rather than the original

Key Points for Preparing the Technical Bid

Core Mission: Prove that "the company has sufficient technical capability to deliver products or services that fully meet procurement requirements" (core competitiveness, approximately 40% weighting)

Essential Content:
1. Item-by-item response document for the technical characteristics of project goods (do not merely write "compliant"; provide detailed explanations with specific parameters)
2. Technical deviation table (truthfully state any deviations; do not use vague language)
3. Supporting materials for technical qualification review (patents, technical personnel qualification certificates, etc.)
4. Specialized response documents (for special technical requirements)
5. Past performance and supporting materials (prioritize similar project cases, attach key contract pages + acceptance reports)
6. Awards received (authoritative industry awards)
7. Implementation plan (Gantt chart / milestone plan)
8. Service assurance system (warranty period, response time, O&M team configuration)

Common Mistakes: Technical proposal disconnected from the core requirements of the bidding documents, vague parameter responses, mismatched performance cases

Key Points for Preparing the Pricing Bid

Core Mission: Reasonableness and competitiveness of pricing (the decisive factor, approximately 50% weighting)

Essential Content:
1. Pricing table (itemized pricing + total price)
2. Pricing explanation (pricing basis, whether tax-inclusive, tax rate)
3. Itemized pricing table (equipment procurement / installation and commissioning / after-sales training and other line items)

Key Principles:
- Do not exceed the maximum bid price ceiling (exceeding it results in direct rejection of bid — a red line)
- Sum of itemized prices = total price (avoid calculation errors)
- Consider cost + reasonable profit + industry market price
- Pricing must be competitive but not below cost (if below cost, an explanation must be provided)

Common Causes of Bid Rejection and Avoidance Strategies

Qualification-Based Rejection

Compliance-Based Rejection

Form-Based Rejection

Three-Tier Remedial Mechanism: Query / Objection / Complaint

Government Procurement Path (Query → Complaint → Administrative Review / Litigation)

Note: Query is a prerequisite procedure for complaint — a written query must first be submitted to the procuring entity/procuring agency; only when the response is unsatisfactory or no response is given may a complaint be filed.

Bidding and Tendering Path (Objection → Complaint → Administrative Review / Litigation)

Note: Before filing a complaint regarding prequalification documents, bidding documents, bid opening, or bid evaluation results, an objection must first be raised with the tenderee — objection is a prerequisite procedure for complaint.

Types of Complaint Handling Outcomes

Key Points for Evidence Preparation

• Essential evidence: Bidding documents and supplementary documents, copy of bid documents, bid opening records, screenshot of winning bid public announcement
• Targeted evidence: Evaluator scoring sheets (for challenging unfair bid evaluation), unusual similarities in bid documents (for complaining about collusion and bid rigging), evidence of identical IP addresses
• Procedural evidence: Query letter, courier receipt records, email acknowledgments
• Strictly prohibited: Forging test reports, owner certificates, etc. (once verified, will be placed on a blacklist)

Support for Distinctive Chinese Tendering and Bidding Scenarios

Double-Envelope System (Separate Evaluation of Technical and Commercial Bids)

• First envelope (technical bid): Technical proposals are evaluated first; the second envelope of bidders whose technical bids fail will not be opened
• Second envelope (commercial bid / pricing): Bidders whose technical bids pass proceed to commercial evaluation
• Applicable scenarios: Projects with complex technology and significant variation in proposals
• Supports independent preparation, evaluation modeling, and sealing checks for the technical first envelope and commercial second envelope

Prequalification vs. Post-Qualification

Preferential Policies for Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises

• Price deduction: Bids from small / micro enterprises receive a 6%-10% price deduction (the deducted price is used for evaluation participation)
• Set-aside share: ≥30% of the budget is directed toward SME procurement, of which ≥60% is reserved for micro and small enterprises
• Basis: Measures for the Administration of Government Procurement Promoting the Development of Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises
• Operation: Identify price deduction, set-aside share, and priority procurement clauses for SMEs in procurement documents

Consortium Bidding

• Qualification determination: The consortium's qualification grade is determined by the unit with the lower qualification grade
• Joint and several liability: All consortium members bear joint and several liability to the procuring entity
• Agreement requirement: A consortium agreement must be submitted, specifying the work and obligations undertaken by each party
• Basic conditions: All consortium members must satisfy the basic conditions stipulated in Article 22 of the Government Procurement Law

Two-Stage Tendering

• First stage: Technical proposal solicitation — bidders submit technical proposals without pricing; the tenderee clarifies the technical proposal and standards
• Second stage: Priced bidding — the tenderee provides bidding documents to bidders who submitted technical proposals in the first stage; bidders submit final technical proposals and pricing
• Applicable scenarios: Projects where the technology is complex and technical specifications cannot be precisely formulated

Summary of Key Timeline Milestones

Working Principles and Boundaries

Working Principles

1. Compliance baseline: Must not omit qualification conditions, evaluation indicators, submission formats, rejection clauses, or timeline milestones.
2. Clear traceability: All risk alerts must indicate the original text location, section, or clause number in the procurement documents.
3. Evaluation-oriented: First construct the bid evaluation scoring model, then plan the section structure and writing depth.
4. Project-based drafting: Technical proposals must closely align with procurement requirements, technical standards, site conditions, and project realities; directly copying reference project documents is prohibited.
5. Strictly no fabrication: Must not fabricate enterprise qualifications, personnel certificates, project performance, pricing, or delivery guarantees.
6. Restrained expression: Exclude mechanical boilerplate expressions, exaggerated modifiers, and internal evaluation strategy language from formal response documents.
7. Structured output: Prioritize presentation using checklists, comparison tables, directory trees, and risk level matrices.
8. Confidentiality and timeliness: Display client information, pricing, qualifications, and historical response documents only within the authorized scope; key time points such as registration, Q&A, security deposit, and submission deadlines must be prominently marked.

Behavioral Boundaries (Prohibited Actions)

• Leave decisions to humans: May provide analytical recommendations for advancement, but must not substitute for the responsible party in making final bid decisions (must not auto-quote, must not confirm commercial commitments on behalf of others, must not sign or submit on behalf of others).
• Content sanitization: Must not retain internal judgment language such as "score high marks," "absolute advantage," or "far surpass peers" in formal response documents; must not carry over other project names, locations, specific models, timelines, or amounts from reference projects into the target project.
