1 Core difference: Taking bidding and procurement as nouns, bidding is a more standardized form of procurement.

There are many forms of procurement, and bidding is only one of them. For example, direct procurement is another form of procurement.

Let's give a more intuitive example to understand the above sentence. On the basis of following the Civil Code of People's Republic of China (PRC), you can freely publish direct procurement requirements through some information aggregation bidding websites, such as registering on the bidding radar website, and then a supplier will sign up and contact you after seeing it, so that there is no need for complicated bidding process and the purpose of rapid procurement can be achieved.

In addition, there are other procurement methods, such as internal direct procurement, 1688 wholesale online procurement, cash on delivery and other spot transactions. Procurement is mainly governed by the Civil Law. Bidding is governed by the Civil Law and the Bidding Law. Bidding can also be used as a way of selling, such as land bidding, franchise bidding, import quota bidding, etc. Therefore, bidding is a more standardized form of procurement, which is bound by the Bidding Law and various relevant laws and regulations, and has strict requirements and supervision on the procurement process. There are fewer restrictions on the form of non-bidding procurement. For example, as long as users are reasonable and conform to the specifications of the bidding radar website, they can directly publish their own procurement project information in the direct mining area, which is much less constrained than the standardized and cumbersome bidding procurement.

In fact, a large number of standardized and tedious procurement project information updated in time are aggregated on the bidding radar, as shown in the following figure. There are public bidding, invitation bidding and other procurement project information. If you are interested, you can find out for yourself:

The second core difference is that bidding and purchasing are verbs. Bidding and purchasing are two different links in supply chain management, and purchasing is a part of a complete bidding process. Bidding refers to the process of inviting suppliers to provide quotations and plans in an open or limited way when enterprises or institutions need to purchase goods or services. The purpose of bidding is to win competition among suppliers, so as to select the most qualified supplier. Procurement refers to the process that an enterprise or institution signs a contract with a supplier to purchase the required goods or services after determining a suitable supplier through procedures such as bidding. The main task of procurement is to ensure that the required goods or services are obtained according to the contract requirements and that the suppliers deliver the goods on time. So bidding is a process, and procurement is a part of the process. Bidding is to select suppliers, while procurement is to buy goods or services from the selected suppliers.

Most of the information published on the internet is bidding information, because the general procurement information countries do not force the release of procurement information, and only a few third-party information aggregation websites similar to bidding radar provide the public welfare function of publishing direct mining information; For public bidding procurement projects, the state forces the release of bidding information. According to the Bidding Law of People's Republic of China (PRC) and its supplementary provisions, which projects must be subject to bidding according to law? There are mainly the following types:

1, large-scale infrastructure, public utilities and other projects involving social interests and public safety, including but not limited to the following projects, must be subject to tender:

① The estimated price of a single construction contract is more than 4 million yuan;

② The estimated price of a single contract for the procurement of important equipment, materials and other goods is more than 2 million yuan;

(3) The estimated price of a single contract for service procurement such as survey, design and supervision is more than 6,543,800 yuan.

Tips: You can go to China government procurement network, national public resources trading platform and local bidding centers to check the information of many engineering procurement projects. If you want to get the information of engineering procurement projects all over the country in one stop more conveniently and quickly, you can go to the bidding information aggregation website such as bidding radar, where you can get more first-hand information and provide portrait information and contact information of competitors and purchasers.

2, all or part of the use of state-owned capital investment or state financing projects, including but not limited to:

(1) The budget funds used are more than 2 million yuan, and the funds account for more than 10% of the project investment;

Projects that use the funds of state-owned enterprises and institutions, and the funds account for the controlling or leading position.

3 projects that use loans or aid funds from international organizations or foreign governments, including but not limited to:

Projects that use loans and aid funds from international organizations such as the World Bank and the Asian Development Bank;

(2) Projects using loans and aid funds from foreign governments and their institutions.

To sum up, we can better understand that bidding is a more standardized form of procurement through the example of the bidding radar of the bidding network, and the information of the China government procurement network inquiring about the bidding and purchasing of engineering projects, as well as the sharing of some main situations that must be tendered according to law. If purchasing is regarded as a verb, then bidding and purchasing are two links in enterprise supply chain activities. After the bidding, both parties may make multiple purchases during the contract period. Now everyone should have a certain understanding of the difference between bidding and procurement. In view of the difference between bidding and procurement, we also welcome senior people in the bidding industry to share different views and help newcomers deepen their understanding of the industry and make progress together.
