Introduction to bid opening, bid evaluation and bid winning?

Bid opening refers to the act of publicly opening the bidding documents submitted by all bidders and announcing the names of bidders, bid prices and other main contents at the specified time and place under the auspices of the tenderer. The bid opening is the first step of bid evaluation, which provides basis and information for the bid evaluation committee.

Bid evaluation refers to the process that the bid evaluation committee formed by the tenderer examines, evaluates and compares the bidders according to the bid evaluation standards and methods stipulated in the tender documents, puts forward a written bid evaluation report, and recommends 1-3 qualified bid-winning candidates. The bid evaluation committee is usually composed of representatives of the tenderee and technical and economic experts. The bid evaluation committee examines, evaluates and compares the bid documents, and signs the bid evaluation results to ensure the fairness and transparency of bid evaluation.

Winning the bid refers to the process that the tenderer determines the winning bidder among the recommended winning bidders according to the written bid evaluation report put forward by the bid evaluation committee. Usually, the tenderer determines the winning bidder according to the bid evaluation report of the bid evaluation committee and the recommended winning candidate, and informs the winning bidder to sign the contract. Once the winning bidder is determined, the tenderer and the winning bidder enter the stage of contract negotiation and signing.
