Since this year, Shenzhen City in Guangdong Province has issued eight penalties for medical device procurement in less than two months, with seven suppliers and four review experts punished. Among all government procurement tickets issued by the city this year, medical devices account for the largest proportion in all industries. (for details, please refer to the article "medical equipment procurement is strictly controlled, and a number of suppliers and bid evaluation experts are severely punished" on June 8! 》）Related to this, Shenzhen municipal government procurement supplier integrity management Interim Measures (hereinafter referred to as the "measures") recently strengthened the integrity punishment of suppliers who violate the rules.
&According to the measures, suppliers participating in the government procurement of Shenzhen Municipality who meet the conditions specified in the Government Procurement Law (such as providing false information to win the bid or colluding in bidding) and are subject to administrative punishment by the financial department according to law shall be recorded in the supplier integrity file. In addition, if the administrative penalty is not met, but one of the eight violations occurs, it shall also be recorded in the supplier's credit file.
&These eight behaviors include: < br / >
1. If, after the deadline for submission of bids, the Bidder withdraws its bidding behavior without justified reasons, resulting in the project unable to normally open and evaluate bids;
2. Failing to sign and perform the procurement contract in accordance with the regulations of Shenzhen Special Economic Zone on government procurement, which seriously affects the daily work of the purchaser;
3. Subcontracting the winning project to others without explanation in the bidding document and consent of the purchaser, if the circumstances are serious;
&4. Seriously violating the contract, reducing the quality of goods and after-sales service without authorization, and there are serious quality problems in goods, projects or services;
&5. Seriously violating the contract, failing to complete all goods, services or engineering projects, stopping distribution halfway or increasing expenses in disguised form;
6. Fabricating facts and providing false materials for questioning;
7. Questioning in the name of others;
8. Refusing to cooperate in the inquiry without justifiable reasons.
&In addition, the suppliers who are evaluated as poor by the government's centralized purchasing agency through the performance inspection shall also be recorded in the supplier's credit file.
The measures also specify the measures to deal with the suppliers who fail to meet the administrative penalty but are recorded in the integrity file, including online announcement, key supervision, increased inspection frequency, etc. by the financial department. If the suppliers participate in the government procurement activities during the announcement period, they shall deal with the integrity according to the provisions of the bidding documents of the government procurement projects they participate in. The measures will come into force on July 1, 2017, with a validity period of 2 years. Once implemented, it can be expected that the "blacklist" of suppliers issued by the financial department of Shenzhen will greatly expand. Not only will suppliers collude in bidding, provide false information to win the bid and enter the "blacklist", but also suppliers with unreasonable withdrawal of bids, contract breach and other behaviors will be included in the "blacklist" and will be punished by the integrity of government departments 。
