We have a construction project to open tender. Considering that there are many qualified construction enterprises in the market, in order to reduce the workload of bid evaluation, we intend to adopt the pre-qualification method of "limited system". What is the appropriate number of qualified bidding applicants in the prequalification documents?
Answer:
Pre-qualification methods include qualified system and limited system.
If the pre-qualification is limited, the applicants who have passed the pre-qualification shall be determined according to the examination standards and procedures stipulated in the pre-qualification documents.
The Bidding Law and the Regulations for the Implementation of the Bidding Law do not stipulate the number of applicants who have passed the pre-qualification. The tenderee can be determined in the prequalification documents according to the specific characteristics and actual needs of the project subject to tender to ensure sufficient competitiveness, but there are at least three qualified bidders.
For housing construction projects, it can be implemented in accordance with the provisions of the former Ministry of Construction's Opinions on Strengthening the Administrative Supervision of Bidding for Housing Construction and Municipal Infrastructure Projects (Jianshi [2005] No.208), namely:
"In accordance with the law, the project construction bidding that must be publicly invited shall be pre-qualified and evaluated by comprehensive evaluation method. When the number of eligible applicants is too large, the method of random selection is generally adopted. Under special circumstances, you can also choose a specified number of qualified applicants to participate in the bidding by grading and sorting. Among them, if the project investment is more than100000 yuan, no less than 9 qualified applicants will be invited; For projects with an investment of100,000 yuan, no less than 7 qualified applicants are invited.
