The Law on Tendering and Bidding stipulates that the successful bidder shall perform its obligations in accordance with the contract and complete the winning project. The successful bidder shall not transfer the winning project to others, nor shall he dismember the winning project to others separately. The successful bidder may, in accordance with the contract or with the consent of the bidder, subcontract some of the non-main and non-key work of the winning project to others to complete.

The "user designation" in the procurement announcement is for China Telecom Xi'an Branch, that is, the buyer of the "one code pass" general project, Xi'an Big Data Resources Management Bureau.

The health code development standards are consistent, and there are no technical problems

What kind of projects require "single-source procurement"? Some netizens said that after seeing that the single-source procurement reason shown on the public notice was "user designation", they were "more confused".

The article "Analysis of the Applicability of Single-Source Procurement and Approval Procedures" published by the Chinese Government Procurement Network in 2017 pointed out that due to the weak competitiveness of single-source procurement, the regulatory authorities should strictly control and standardize the procedures in their approval procedures.

The single-source procurement announcement of China Telecom Xi'an Branch does not disclose the specific procurement content, and it is not known what kind of hardware and software to purchase. However, the current health code development standards are consistent, there is no technical problem, and the health codes in various places have also possessed basic data for mutual recognition and sharing.

On February 11, 2020, following the launch of the Hangzhou health code, all provinces and cities across the country began to launch their own health codes. Such as the "Gantong Code" in Jiangxi Province, the "Yue Kang Code" in Guangdong Province, the "Su Jian Code" in Jiangsu Province and the "Ning Return" in Nanjing, the "Xi Kang Code" in Wuxi, the "Sioux City Code" in Suzhou, etc.

As of March 2020, according to incomplete statistics, the health code developed by Ali has landed in more than 200 cities, and Tencent's "epidemic prevention health code" has also covered nearly 900 million people, with a cumulative number of bright codes of nearly 1.6 billion, and more than 100 cities are planned to go online.

According to the 47th "Statistical Report on the Development of China's Internet Network" released by the China Internet Network Information Center in March 2021, during the prevention and control of the new crown pneumonia epidemic, the national integrated government service platform launched the "epidemic prevention health code", accumulatively applying for nearly 900 million people and using more than 40 billion times, supporting most parts of the country to achieve "one code pass".

According to Article 31 of the Government Procurement Law, there are three situations that meet the requirements of single-source procurement: one is that it can only be procured from a single supplier; second, it cannot be procured from other suppliers in the event of an unforeseen emergency; third, it is necessary to ensure the consistency of the original procurement project or the requirements of service matching, and it is necessary to continue to purchase from the original supplier, and the total amount of additional funds does not exceed 10% of the original contract procurement amount.

With regard to the first case, Article 27 of the Implementing Regulations of the Government Procurement Law stipulates that it is only possible to procure from a particular supplier because the goods or services use irreplaceable patents, proprietary technologies, or public service projects have special requirements.

The Interpretation of the Implementing Regulations of the Government Procurement Law explains that if a project using a patent or proprietary technology is procured by a single source, it must meet three conditions at the same time: First, the objective positioning of the project function determines that the designated patent, proprietary technology or service must be used, rather than the subjective requirements of the procurer. Only because the project is technically complex or technically difficult, it cannot be used as a reason for single-source procurement.

Second, the patents, know-how or services used in the project are irreplaceable.

Third, because of the exclusivity of patents, know-how or services for a product or production process, it can only be provided by a particular supplier.
