The full implementation of electronic bidding is conducive to improving the transparency of bidding, saving resources and transaction costs, improving the quality and efficiency of resource allocation, and ensuring the efficient landing of investment and construction projects.
Compared with traditional bidding, electronic bidding is completely online. What is its process and what should be paid attention to?
Electronic bidding process
I. Acquisition of Bidding Documents
In the electronic mode, bidders are generally required to enter the trading platform to obtain the bidding documents. Therefore, it is necessary to indicate the acquisition method and process in the tender announcement, including the website address, acquisition method and payment method of the tender documents. If the bidder needs to register before obtaining the tender documents, it should also explain the registration steps and review time limit.
In addition, in electronic mode, the acquisition of bidding documents is not limited by working hours (such as 9: 00- 16: 00), so when filling in the acquisition time, you can directly fill in the acquisition start time to the acquisition end time.
Second, CA processing.
Public users on the Internet trust CA by verifying its signature, and anyone can get CA's certificate (including public key) to verify the certificate issued by it.
If a user wants to obtain a certificate of his own, he should apply to CA first. After the CA recognizes the identity of the applicant, it assigns a public key to it, and the CA binds the public key to the identity information of the applicant, and forms a certificate after signing it and sends it to the applicant.
Under normal circumstances, the CA certificate of electronic bidding shall be handled by the local contract awarding trading center (called the primary market) or the bidding management department as required.
The application materials to be provided include:
(1) Power of Attorney provided by the company, with official seal;
(2) The original and photocopy of the ID card of the agent, in duplicate, with official seal;
(3) Digital certificates that need to be opened;
After the business is opened, it can be activated within 2 working days before use.

Three. Submission of bid documents
There is a significant difference between the submission method of bid documents in electronic mode and that in traditional mode. Bidders need to use file preparation tools to prepare bid documents offline, and then submit the encrypted documents to the trading platform online.
Therefore, it is necessary to specify the specific submission methods and requirements of electronic bidding documents in the bidding documents. Moreover, the place of submission has also shifted from a tangible place to an intangible online trading platform.
Four. Bid Closing Time/Time and Place of Bid Opening
Under the electronic mode, the place of bid opening is also transferred from the physical place to the online bid opening hall. At the same time, all bidders should attend the online bid opening on time and decrypt their bid documents. This key requirement should be specified in the tender announcement.
