Does project cost consultation belong to government procurement?
Project cost consultation does not belong to government procurement. According to the audit website, government procurement is subject to the Bidding Law, and project cost consultation belongs to the bidding management of purchasing goods and services, which is not applicable to government procurement, so project cost consultation does not belong to government procurement. Engineering cost mainly studies the basic knowledge and skills of economics, management and civil engineering, and carries out investment analysis, cost determination and control, completion settlement, etc. The estimation of a construction project includes the estimation, budgetary estimate, budget and settlement of the whole project from commencement to completion. For example, the prediction and estimation of project cost before investment, the budget of the whole project cost before construction, the control of cost and project appropriation during construction, and the settlement of project price after completion. Therefore, project cost consultation does not belong to government procurement.
