Can offline bid opening be changed to online bid opening?

Can offline bid opening be changed to online bid opening? Under the opportunity of digital China and digital government, the traditional bidding field is facing new changes. With the introduction of various policies of electronic bidding in recent years, various localities have explored electronic bidding and established various trading platforms. Especially after the epidemic in 2020, this process has been further accelerated.

In this context, how to carry out digital transformation and enhance the openness and transparency of the bidding field? How can bidders complete the whole bidding process without running even once? How to solve the problem of personnel gathering and safety during and after the epidemic? Are all issues worthy of attention.

The traditional bidding process is cumbersome, inefficient, labor-consuming, opaque, rent-seeking and collusion. In order to improve this situation, JD.COM Group and Zhaotianxia held a strategic cooperation conference in Beijing a few days ago, * * * focused on the needs of central enterprises, state-owned enterprises and private enterprises to specify the following types of customers, such as construction transactions, enterprise procurement, land mining rights transactions and property rights transactions, and conducted extensive and in-depth cooperation in bidding and other fields.

With the implementation of 20 13 "Electronic Bidding Measures", the National Development and Reform Commission, together with several departments, issued a document for three consecutive years, and various policies to promote electronic bidding were introduced one after another. In 20 19, the Ministry of Finance issued the Notice on Promoting Fair Competition in Government Procurement and Optimizing the Business Environment, emphasizing the acceleration of electronic government procurement and the electronic implementation of procurement projects. This year, in response to the epidemic, the Ministry of Finance issued the Notice on Relevant Matters Concerning Government Procurement Activities during the Epidemic Prevention and Control Period, clarifying that procurement should be conducted electronically as much as possible during the epidemic. At the same time, it is worth noting that the Archives Law of People's Republic of China (PRC) was implemented from 202 1 1 to encourage and support the digitalization of traditional archives carriers. Electronic archives have the same effect as traditional carrier archives, which provides the most fundamental basis for filing electronic bidding documents.

"Internet plus bidding procurement" will move the whole process of offline bidding to online bidding, which will greatly promote the efficiency of bidding procurement, create a transparent environment, ensure process compliance, improve procurement credibility and greatly save social funds. Therefore, electronic bidding procurement will surely become a trend.

With the application of advanced technologies such as big data, cloud computing, artificial intelligence and blockchain, enterprise procurement will be transformed and upgraded from the current "full process online" stage to "full digital". Relying on the advantages of data and technology, JD.COM Group is connected to Zhejiang Zhaotianxia bidding platform, which will provide the government, enterprises and social organizations with full-process electronic bidding, centralized procurement and big data operation services, as well as technical support for administrative supervision. In addition to bidding, the two sides will explore more cooperation possibilities in finance and big data in the future. * * * has played an active role in promoting the government's reform of "simplifying administration and decentralizing power, strengthening supervision and improving services" and reducing transaction costs, which is of great significance for developing electronic bidding procurement, promoting the integration of bidding procurement and "internet plus" and standardizing the bidding market.
