Single-source procurement conditions include failed bidding, single source of procurement target, need for emergency procurement timeliness, duplicate contracts, etc.
Failed bidding: There was no suitable bid under open and restricted procedures, and no significant changes were made to the terms of the original bidding contract. The reason for the failure of the tender is that there is no bidder, there is collusion in bidding, or the bid is submitted by a supplier that does not meet the conditions for participation.
Single source of procurement objects: Due to technology, process or patent protection reasons, products, projects or services can only be provided by specific suppliers, contractors or service providers, and there are no other reasonable choice or substitution. Various international rules have this provision.
The need for timeliness in emergency procurement: Unforeseen events lead to unusual emergencies that make it difficult to meet the time limits for disclosure and restriction procedures, and the circumstances of the emergency are not attributable to the contracting agency. Various international rules have this provision.
Duplicate contract: requires additional purchase, repeated construction or repeated provision of similar goods, works or services, and the original contract was awarded through a competitive invitation process and the new contract is awarded to the same supplier, contractor or service provider.
Basic requirements for single-source procurement
1. Principles to be followed
Purchasers and suppliers should adhere to the provisions of Article 3 of the Procurement Law that “Government procurement shall Procurement shall be conducted in compliance with the principles of openness and transparency, fair competition, fairness and good faith. Single-source procurement is one of the government procurement methods that, despite its peculiarities and lack of competition, should still adhere to these principles as much as possible.
2. Ensure the quality of procurement
The quality of government procurement is directly related to the effectiveness of government agencies in performing administrative affairs. Therefore, it is very important to ensure the quality of procurement. Although single-source procurement has a single supply channel, the quality of the purchased products must also be considered, otherwise the implementation of single-source government procurement itself will be meaningless.
3. Reasonable price
Although single-source procurement lacks competitiveness, it is necessary to negotiate with suppliers based on the principle of value for money, and determine prices reasonably based on the principle of mutual benefit.
