What are the steps in the bidding process?

A, the specific process of project bidding

1, the composition of the project bidding committee

The bidding committee is organized by the national competent department and composed of experts in engineering, commerce, foreign exchange, law and other related fields. It is responsible for solving various problems encountered in the project bidding and giving specific guidance to the bidding work.

2, the tender announcement

Before the tender, the tender announcement should be published in influential newspapers and periodicals at home and abroad. It includes two parts: tender announcement and tender advertisement.

Tender notice refers to a written notice issued to the relevant departments of various countries that have established diplomatic and commercial relations with the host country.

Tender advertisement refers to the tender advertisement published in influential newspapers at home and abroad.

The contents of the notice and advertisement include: project name, project location, project content overview, project scope, date, address and deadline for requesting bidding documents, bidding conditions, price and consulting units for related matters, etc.

3, prequalification

Pre-qualification refers to the pre-examination of the financial status, technical ability and credit status of bidders who are willing to undertake the project subject to tender, with the aim of selecting bidders who are truly capable of contracting.

4. Prepare the pre-tender estimate

When the tender committee publishes the tender advertisement, it is to compile the contract price and determine the contract price level through the project budget, which is also commonly known as the "pre-tender price". This is the card held by the tender committee and is absolutely confidential.

5, public bidding

Public bidding refers to the bidding process in which the bidding committee informs the bidders who have obtained the bidding qualification or advertises that the bidders have requested or purchased the bidding documents and invited them to bid.

6. Bid opening

Bid opening means that the tender committee will open all the bidding documents received before the deadline at the specified date, time and place in the presence of all bidders or their representatives, and read out the bidding conditions of all bidders in public, so that all bidders can understand the bidding price. This procedure is called bid opening.

7. Bid evaluation and award

After the bid opening, it will be transferred to the bid evaluation stage. The tender committee will list the tender price of the tender documents, that is, other conditions, select four or five tender documents with the lowest price, and then review, identify and compare them until the winner is decided. This stage is carried out under secret conditions.

According to the bid evaluation report and its recommendation, the winning bidder shall be decided by the bidding committee. At the same time notify the winning bidder. Generally, the unsuccessful bidder cannot be notified, or the contractor is simply notified of winning the bid.

8. sign a contract

The winning bidder shall sign the project contract with the project owner within the specified time after receiving the official "Notice of Winning Bid". The contract is first drafted by one party, and signed after consultation on the basis of the draft.

Second, the construction, municipal and traffic engineering bidding process

1, project construction, bidding application and bidding conditions filing, project approval (including the approval of planning, land and superior administrative departments).

2. Preparation of project budget and cost: First, a qualified design company (intermediary agency) carries out drawing design, and then a company with engineering cost consulting qualification prepares the project budget.

3. Entrusted agency operation: The owner (tenderee) entrusts a qualified agency with full authority to represent the bidding business.

4. Preparation of bidding documents: Under the supervision of the county comprehensive supervision and management office for bidding and tendering and relevant administrative departments, the owner and agency shall set the bidding price (maximum price) and the lowest price of the project bidding column according to the project cost (the purpose is to save money as much as possible and prevent malicious competition on the premise of ensuring the project quality). Because the cost is too high, it increases the project cost, and if the cost is too low, it can't guarantee the project quality and disturb the bidding market order. In addition to setting the listing price, it is also necessary to set basic bidding terms, such as qualification grade, performance, social reputation, bid bond and contract performance bond, quality requirements, construction period, payment method, etc.

5. Tender announcement or invitation to bid.

6. The bidder (qualified construction enterprise) submits the bid application form (i.e. registration) to the tenderee (tenderee).

7. The qualification examination of potential bidders shall be attended by the tenderee, the county comprehensive supervision and management office of tendering and bidding, relevant administrative departments and institutions (the county government procurement center will send personnel to participate in the bidding of government procurement projects).

8. Sell the bidding documents and related materials to qualified bidders, and organize on-site inspection.
