In project bidding, we often hear the word "bid-rigging", so what exactly is "bid-rigging"? Let's discuss it today.
It is not difficult to see an explanation of the definition of bid-rigging on the Internet and in reference books:
"Bid-rigging is a professional term for bidding and bidding, also known as collusive bidding, which refers to the means and behavior of several bidders agreeing with each other to unanimously raise or lower the bid price for bidding, by restricting competition and crowding out other bidders, so that a certain stakeholder wins the bid, so as to seek benefits. ”
Let's analyze this sentence, in fact, the interpretation of this definition can no longer fully summarize the exact meaning of the current collusion. At that time, the person who issued the explanation of the definition of "bid-rigging" was still a little simple, and the starting point and the process of "bid-rigging" that he thought were different from the past!
At present, the high-level "bid-rigging" is no longer the concept of "refers to several bidders agreeing with each other to unanimously raise or lower the bid price for bidding, and by restricting competition, crowding out other bidders".
Today, it has become "one bidder bids in the name of several bidders." Whichever unit wants to win the bid will win the bid. Or it doesn't matter which unit wins the bid, it is the company controlled by this one bidder, and it is all his bid." It is no longer a mutual agreement, but a bid-rigging operation or the unit itself can decide to win the bid. It is no longer by restricting competition and squeezing out other bidders, but there are no other bidders at all, and there is no competition, and the bidder's winning bid is a green light!
"Bid-rigging" is an illegal act, and sometimes there are units and individuals who are punished for "bid-rigging". This is an extremely disrespectful act of disrespect for the industry and contempt for laws and regulations! I believe that such operations violate the principle of fair competition and will be brought to justice sooner or later!
In the development of society, many things are changing and changing imperceptibly! The good things of positive energy are like this, and so are the bad things of negative energy! I still hope that there will be fewer routines and more sincerity in the world! The wisdom and wisdom of the Chinese people are absolutely second to none among the nations, and they also need to be embodied in positive energy and great truths!
Whether this statement is true or not, please discuss!
