Experience in implementing recommendations in bidding

Usually, what happens is that the proposal is extremely inconvenient, most often after the results of contractor selection are announced. The reason for such a situation is because disqualified contractors often fall into problems in the Bidding Documents that can accidentally or intentionally make things difficult for the contractor or make inappropriate or demanding requests. is not quantitative, when preparing Bidding Documents, contractors without experience will fall into the "trap" of Bidding Documents. If you are an experienced and sensitive contractor, right from the step of preparing the Bid Documents, the contractor needs to request clarification of the Bid Documents before the bid closing time (Normally the regulation is 03 working days before the bidding date). Time of bid closing).

In addition to noting the timeline for clarifying the Bidding Documents, contractors need to clearly understand and firmly grasp the provisions of the law on bidding. In particular, the provisions specified in the Bidding Documents with the purpose of targeting a certain pre-planned contractor are often susceptible to "Providing conditions to limit the participation of contractors or to create advantage for one or several contractors causing unfair competition" - Clause 2, Article 12 of Decree 63/2014/ND-CP or "Making too high requirements leading to an increase in bid prices or limits the participation of contractors". Regarding the procurement of goods, the Prime Minister has requested "Do not state requirements on specific brands or origins of goods, including naming countries, groups of countries, or territories that cause discrimination." Processing... Does not require the contractor to submit the manufacturer's sales license or partnership certificate or other documents of equivalent value for common, common, and available goods on the market. market, has been standardized and is warranted according to the manufacturer's regulations. For construction and installation bidding packages, "Do not impose conditions to limit the contractor's participation in bidding such as: Requires personnel implementing the bidding package to pay social insurance, must be personnel registered for a contract with the contractor, construction equipment must be owned by the contractor and not rented, and must have performed the contract. similar in a specific area... or stipulate that the contractor's capacity and experience are higher than the requirements of the bidding package" (Directive No. 47/CT-TTg of the Prime Minister in 2017).

Only when the contractor's recommendations are reasonable, reasonable and in accordance with the provisions of law will the bidding party/investor need to really consider the issue with the issued Bidding Documents. At the same time, in order to be timely and effective, if the contractor's recommendations are not seriously considered, the contractor needs to send their recommendations to the Bidding Newspaper or report to the Bidding Newspaper's hotline in advance of any problems. proposal. The contents of resolving the above recommendations that need to be noted fall under the process in Section 1, Article 92 of the 2013 Bidding Law.

In case of a petition regarding the contractor selection results, it should be noted that the petition will only be considered and approved within 10 days from the date of notification of the contractor selection results. Many contractors do not pay attention to this content or are passive because sometimes from the time of receiving notice of contractor selection results (recorded on the decision/notification) to the time the contractor receives the official copy, it takes a long time. relatively long time (the 2013 Bidding Law stipulates that written notification of contractor selection results must be sent to participating contractors by post or fax within 05 working days from the date of selection results. approved contractor). The contents of resolving petitions with contractor selection results that need to be noted belong to the process in Section 2, Article 92 of the 2013 Bidding Law.

In addition to the above noted timeline, the contractor also needs to understand that the petition must have the signature or legal representative of the contractor and seal (if any) of the participating contractor. In the same case, the joint venture must be the legal representative of the authorized person according to the joint venture agreement signed when participating in the bidding. The sending address also needs to be accurate according to the instructions of the 2013 Bidding Law and looked up in the Data Sheet of the Bidding Documents to avoid sending applications beyond the level and being criticized by the investor, the bidding party as well as the consulting unit. then find fault and do not consider the petition.
