Why the Guangzhou government procurement "only buy expensive of the"? - Gree, Gree air-conditioning - appliances industry-hc360 HC Network


Today's "China Youth Daily," an article entitled "Gree

Government Procurement sued Guangzhou City Finance Bureau, "the article revealed, Central Hospital of Guangzhou, Panyu," inverter multi-patient floor, air conditioning and install the "procurement tender, the offer 17.07 million yuan in Guangzhou, Gree air-conditioning ratchet sets

Construction Corporation, the reasons for its defeat, only the Central Hospital of Panyu, because the purchaser's bid documents that the Gree "does not meet the tender documents marked with an asterisk in the content (a technical parameters)" should not be successful.



Panyu District Government Procurement Office of Finance decided that the center of the Guangzhou Municipal Government procurement review of the project; the Guangzhou municipal government procurement centers were invited to review the original evaluation committee, and dramatically announced successful results: the highest offer in Guangdong Province Petroleum Engineering Construction Corporation won the bid, which marked the amount of 2151.1887 million, more than out of the bid price Gree than 440 million; then, Guangzhou, the company questioned

Complaints

Demanded the return of one standard qualifications of candidates, the successful cancellation of Guangdong petrochemical qualifications; administrative review without result, the Gree company Guangzhou City Finance Bureau to court.



As air-conditioning industry in the country has a very powerful Gree Corporation, Central Hospital of Panyu tender "inverter multi-patient floor, air conditioning and installation" project, its technical strength is no doubt, despite the fact that the bid evaluation committee recommended be the first successful candidate, but as an asterisk in the tender documents lost 17 million yuan in the big one, it is hard to believe; as the purchaser of the Panyu Central Hospital, away from the strength of strong candidates for the first successful company Gree but choose a higher price in the air conditioning industry in Guangdong Province unknown Petrochemical and Construction Corporation, to show "Do not buy right, only buy expensive," the strange phenomenon.



Originally, the Government centralized procurement is to increase transparency, reduce the discretion of procurement officers and ultimately to lower costs, the purpose of reducing corruption. To reality, the government procurement Shady is constantly being exposed, "the retail high prices than the wholesale price" phenomenon surprising is that its source is not enough transparency.



The present case, if the government procurement sector can be published throughout the tender conditions, the public will be in accordance with the most simple case of thinking to judge the reasonableness of government procurement, procurement staff and therefore subject to more oversight, corruption occurs possibilities will be reduced.



Although I am not sure that there must be cases of corruption in procurement, but this "did not buy right, only buy expensive," the tender results, in clear violation of common sense, even more contrary to the original intention of the Government to implement centralized procurement, Gree Corporation The higher the number of tenders for the authorities to court, although because the business interests of the drive, but their sense of civic society is worthy of praise. If the companies involved in government procurement tenders, has such a sense of civic courage through normal channels to protect their legal rights, government procurement departments will not dare to openly secret operations, corruption in government procurement would be certain to contain.
