Interpretation of "Implementation Measures for the Management of Government Procurement Agencies in Shandong Province"

First, the drafting background and main basis of this method

From 20 14, the Ministry of Finance promoted the reform of "decentralization, strengthening supervision and improving services", changed the management mechanism of government procurement agencies from "examination and approval system" to "registration system", and cancelled the "threshold" of government procurement agency service industry. Since then, the government procurement agencies in our province have developed rapidly, and the number has shown a "blowout" growth. By August 2022, there will be 5,447 institutions in the province, with10.9 million employees, which are10.7 times and10.7 times respectively at the end of 20 13.

At present, government procurement agencies have become the main force of government procurement in our province. In 20021year, the amount of government procurement completed by government agencies reached 242.525 billion yuan, accounting for 95.57% of the total government procurement in the province. Entrusted by the purchaser, the agency provides professional services, assists the purchaser in market research, determines the procurement requirements and procurement methods, prepares procurement documents, organizes project review, assists in performance acceptance, answers questions, and assists in handling complaints and reports. , plays an irreplaceable role in government procurement activities. However, through supervision and inspection, we found that the institution also had some problems in practice. For example, the number of institutions has surged, the scale is small, the quality of personnel is mixed, and the level of laws and regulations and business ability are low; The competition in the agency service market is fierce, the quality of practice is declining, and the number of complaints from suppliers continues to increase substantially. In the past five years, the number of complaints in the province has increased by 9.57% annually, which has had a negative impact on the quality and efficiency of government procurement and needs to be standardized.

The main basis for formulating the Measures is: People's Republic of China (PRC) Procurement Law, People's Republic of China (PRC) Procurement Law Implementation Regulations, People's Republic of China (PRC) Secrecy Law, People's Republic of China (PRC) Personal Information Protection Law and People's Republic of China (PRC).

In accordance with the principles of "lenient entry and strict management, strengthened restraint and standardized guidance", the Measures focus on adding and refining the relevant contents in Chapter III-Employment Management, and set up a separate chapter on behavior evaluation (Chapter IV).

Article 25 stipulates that the agency shall strictly follow the relevant provisions of government procurement laws, regulations and entrustment agreements. , standardize the procurement project execution procedures, and strictly manage the bid evaluation (review) site. In addition to the purchaser's representative, evaluation experts and on-site organization personnel of the agency, other personnel are not allowed to enter the bid evaluation (evaluation) site.

Article 33 stipulates that the financial department shall establish an agent behavior evaluation mechanism based on the Shandong Provincial Government Procurement System; According to the budget level of the procurement project, the behaviors of the agency and the project leader are regularly evaluated according to the scale, performance, internal management, training organization, dishonesty and punishment.
