What is inquiry purchasing? What is the difference between direct inquiry procurement and inquiry bidding?

Inquiry purchase seems simple, as if you just need to find a supplier who can quote. Actually, it is not. As a purchasing unit, we should clearly understand the work that needs to be prepared and various matters needing attention in inquiry purchasing. Today, Bian Xiao from Baobiao Bidding Network will share the work and matters needing attention in purchasing by inquiry.

What is inquiry purchasing?

Inquiry procurement refers to a procurement method that compares the quotations of several suppliers (usually at least three) to ensure competitive prices.

Bidding procurement refers to the process that the purchaser, as the tenderer, puts forward the conditions and requirements of procurement in advance, invites a number of enterprises to participate in bidding, and then selects the best transaction object from them at one time according to the prescribed procedures and standards, and puts forward the bidder with the most favorable conditions to sign the agreement. The whole process requires openness, fairness and merit.

Generally, the products purchased by inquiry are standardized, and only the price is regarded as the main purchasing standard.

The requirements of bidding procurement are wider than many, and the best choice is made according to the relevant conditions. Price is one of them, and all conditions are considered comprehensively.

According to the way to determine the purchase price.

Procurement can be divided into bidding procurement, inquiry procurement, price comparison procurement, bargaining procurement, pricing procurement and open market procurement.

Pay attention to issuing inquiry and purchase announcement in time.

After the inquiry procurement project is confirmed, the information announcement of inquiry procurement should be first published in the designated media of government procurement, so as to expand the scope of inquiry procurement, provide all potential suppliers with equal competition opportunities, increase the openness of inquiry procurement and the high transparency of information release, and avoid the limitations and one-sidedness caused by the inquiry only recommending quotation suppliers.
