unified administration
In this mode, colleges and universities set up a special "bidding management center" or "bidding procurement management center", which operates independently and is responsible for the bidding work of the whole school. This ensures the professionalism and standardization of management, but it may also lead to excessive concentration of power and increase the risk of corruption.
Parallel centralization and decentralization
Colleges and universities set up bidding offices as virtual institutions, and the user departments need to report the procurement or bidding requirements to them. The bidding office will designate functional departments to be responsible, and the follow-up work will be completed by functional departments and users in collaboration. This mode enhances the flexibility of macro-control, but it may affect the control of follow-up work.
Parallel management mode
In this mode, there is no special bidding organization in colleges and universities, but a functional department manages bidding activities centrally. Although this reduces the duplication of institutions, it requires strong personnel and high professional quality to ensure the efficiency of micro-operation and the supervision in place.
Decentralized operation
In this mode, colleges and universities hand over different procurement projects to different functional departments according to their business needs. This enhances the pertinence and flexibility of procurement work, but it may lead to difficulties in supervision and bring challenges to bidding supervision.
