"The promulgation of the "Opinions" marks new progress in the modernization of the governance system and governance capacity in the field of bidding and bidding in the mainland, and is of far-reaching significance for promoting the optimal allocation of resources, maintaining fair competition in the market, and promoting high-quality economic and social development." Li Di, a researcher at the China Center for International Economic Exchanges, pointed out in an interview with a reporter from the China Economic Times that the issuance of the "Opinions" will help standardize market order and reduce violations of laws and regulations; Strengthen the main responsibility, improve the service mechanism of the bidding agency, and improve the quality and efficiency of bidding; Optimizing the evaluation and calibration mechanism is conducive to improving the objectivity and fairness of bid evaluation, and enhancing the economic and social benefits of the use of public resources; Promoting the digital transformation of the bidding and bidding field is conducive to improving the convenience and efficiency of bidding and bidding activities and reducing costs. Enhance the effectiveness of supervision and protect the legitimate rights and interests of all parties involved; It is conducive to creating a good market environment, boosting market confidence and expectations, attracting more domestic and foreign investors, and promoting healthy economic development.

At present, there are stubborn diseases in the field of bidding and bidding in the mainland, such as lagging system rules, non-implementation of main responsibilities, difficulty in breaking down transaction barriers, and non-standard market order. In view of the current outstanding contradictions and deep-seated problems, the "Opinions" put forward a number of reform and innovation measures. Among them, it is proposed to speed up the revision of the Bidding and Bidding Law, the Government Procurement Law and related implementation regulations, and strive to break down the institutional obstacles that restrict the construction of a high-standard market system.
Li Di believes that it is necessary to speed up the revision of the "Bidding and Bidding Law", the "Government Procurement Law" and relevant implementation regulations. Because the revision work is conducive to strengthening market rules and reducing administrative interference; In view of the possible ambiguities, conflicting clauses or parts of the existing legal system that lag behind practice, necessary adjustments and clarifications should be made to eliminate institutional obstacles and better adapt to the development and changes of the modern market; Strengthen the supervision mechanism of the bidding and bidding process, improve the whole chain supervision system, increase the punishment of violations of laws and regulations, prevent and combat corruption, and ensure market order; Efforts should be made to remove unfair restrictions and barriers to small and medium-sized enterprises, increase policy measures that are beneficial to small and medium-sized enterprises, simplify the bidding process, provide financing support, and set reasonable qualification conditions in the revised content; The revision of the law will certainly consider the docking with international rules and promote institutional opening-up. In order to promote the modernization and standardization of the field of public resource trading, fundamentally optimize and improve the legal framework and institutional environment of public resource trading in the mainland, and provide a solid institutional guarantee for high-quality economic development.
The "Opinions" also proposed to improve the policy system to support the participation of small and medium-sized enterprises, and increase the support for small and medium-sized enterprises to participate in bidding and bidding.
"This move is an important measure to stimulate market vitality and ensure fair competition." Li Di said that the implementation can be strengthened from the following aspects: First, formulate more flexible prequalification standards and requirements, reduce the qualification threshold for small and medium-sized enterprises to participate in bidding, simplify bidding documents and processes, reduce unnecessary cost burdens, and enable more small and medium-sized enterprises to have the opportunity to enter the market and participate in competition. The second is to encourage and support large enterprises and small and medium-sized enterprises to form a consortium to participate in the bidding, clarify the subcontracting policy, and ensure that large-scale projects can be subcontracted to small and medium-sized enterprises after winning the bid. The third is to provide professional training for small and medium-sized enterprises, establish a more transparent information release platform, and enhance market transparency. Fourth, strengthen legal protection and protection of rights and interests. Fifth, in the process of bid evaluation, due consideration should be given to factors such as the development potential, technological innovation ability and social contribution of small and medium-sized enterprises, adjust the scoring criteria, and optimize the bid evaluation system. Sixth, digital technology is used to improve the convenience of small and medium-sized enterprises to participate in bidding.
Ma Bin believes that it is necessary to adhere to closed-loop management and promote the reform of the whole chain of bidding and bidding. Make full use of big data to monitor and warn trading activities, and realize the dynamic supervision of abnormal behaviors of trading entities and the "preventive" supervision of transaction risk behaviors. It is necessary to break down departmental barriers and establish an efficient and collaborative bidding mechanism. Update the information base of public resource trading market entities in a timely manner, and greatly improve the ability of cross-regional, cross-industry, cross-departmental and cross-level linkage supervision and management of bidding and bidding. It is necessary to rely on technological innovation to boost the quality and efficiency of the bidding and bidding market. Pay attention to the empowerment of science and technology, and strengthen the intelligent management and control of the bid evaluation area. It is necessary to take multiple measures at the same time to create a high-quality and orderly market environment and actively reduce the burden on enterprises.
"It is necessary to implement the "Rules for the Review of Fair Competition in the Field of Bidding and Bidding" to prevent and correct acts that restrict competition from the source." Li Di pointed out that the regulatory system and capacity building should be optimized. Improve the multi-departmental collaborative supervision mechanism, use digital means to improve the efficiency of supervision, strengthen the professional training of supervisors, improve their ability to identify and deal with violations, and encourage social supervision to form a co-governance pattern. In addition, classified policies are implemented and accurately promoted. For projects of different industries and different scales, formulate differentiated bidding and bidding guidance policies; Support and guide small and medium-sized enterprises to participate in bidding by setting reasonable thresholds, providing information support and technical assistance. Promote technological innovation and model innovation in the field of tendering and bidding, and encourage green bidding and sustainable bidding and procurement practices. Establish and complete credit appraisal systems. Make credit records an important basis for consideration in bidding and bidding, and carry out joint disciplinary action against untrustworthy conduct. Regularly disclose the results of credit evaluations to increase transparency. Continuously track the evaluation and feedback mechanism, collect feedback from all parties, evaluate the effect of policy implementation, and adjust optimization measures in a timely manner.
