Do subsidiaries need authorization from the head office to participate in government procurement?

No authorization is required.

Of course. For the parent company and its subsidiaries, both of them are individuals who bear civil liability independently and can participate in government procurement projects independently. However, it should be noted that subsidiaries cannot borrow the qualifications of the parent company. For the corresponding branches, according to the relevant provisions of the General Principles of the Civil Law, branches with civil liabilities can participate in government procurement projects, but they need the authorization of the head office. In addition, some large enterprises, such as China Unicom and China Mobile in the communication industry, can participate in branches.
