General bidding process: the hospital entrusts the bidding company to bid first (the hospital should issue a power of attorney). In this process, the hospital informs the bidding company of the name, manufacturer, parameters and performance of the equipment it wants in advance, and the bidding company prepares the bidding documents and then determines the bid opening date! At the same time, the tendering company will invite experts to bid evaluation when opening bids. Suppliers who want to buy equipment can buy tenders and bid. All parties will be present at the bid opening, and the winning bidder will be determined after the bid opening! The winning bidder can provide equipment as required! The general bid opening fee is provided by the final winning bidder!
Note: Suppliers are usually selected in advance. The so-called bidding is just a formality. I greeted the bidding company in advance in the hospital and told which company won the bid. Then the company invited several similar companies to buy the bid, went through the formalities with them and finally won the bid. Hospitals are usually designated suppliers, and only a few half-way suppliers finally win. I am engaged in financial leasing of medical equipment, and these are the things I usually touch.
