What's the difference between electronic bidding and paper bidding?

First, the tender announcement release link

Traditional procurement mode: a special person will publish the tender announcement in the media related to government procurement.

Electronic bidding mode: automatically released by the system. The tenderee or the procurement agency entrusted by it shall specify the website address and access method of the electronic tendering and bidding trading platform in the prequalification announcement, tender announcement or bid invitation letter for the reference of potential bidders. At the same time, for projects that must be subject to public bidding according to law, relevant announcements should be issued simultaneously on the electronic bidding trading platform and designated media.

Second, the tender documents release link

Traditional procurement mode: special person sells tender documents, and the printing cost of tender documents is high.

E-bidding mode: the agency loads the pre-qualification documents and bidding documents to the e-bidding trading platform in time for potential bidders to download or consult. Bidders buy online by themselves, and download automatically after online payment is successful.

Three. Clarification and modification of prequalification documents or bidding documents

Traditional procurement mode: it is necessary to organize a pre-bid question-and-answer meeting and notify suppliers one by one.

Electronic bidding method: announce the clarified or modified contents through the electronic bidding trading platform, and notify all potential bidders who downloaded the prequalification documents or bidding documents in an effective way (such as SMS).

Fourth, the bidding procedure.

Traditional procurement mode: multiple paper bidding (response) documents need to be printed and bound, signed by hand, sealed and delivered on site.

Electronic bidding method: making electronic tender, electronic signature and online delivery.
