Some media have revealed that a major bidding project of Jinneng Photovoltaic Technology Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of Jinneng Holding Group, has serious violations. The project is the general contracting of the design and construction of the first phase of the 4GW project with an annual output of 8GW high-efficiency N-type monocrystalline TOPCon solar cells. The bidding number is GCZX202306G056, and Jinneng Holding Group Shanxi Engineering Consulting Co., Ltd. is responsible for the bidding.
According to reports, the project issued a bidding announcement on June 27, 2023, and the online bid opening and evaluation was carried out on the Jinneng Holding Bidding and Procurement Network on July 19. However, within 30 days after the bid opening, the bidder privately tampered with the electronic bidding data and only made the bid evaluation results public after that. In the end, Shanxi Jinjian Group Co., Ltd. was announced as the winning bidder.
This behavior has aroused widespread concern and doubt. According to the relevant provisions of the "Implementation Regulations of the Tendering and Bidding Law of the People's Republic of China", the tenderer shall publicize the winning candidate within 3 days from the date of receipt of the bid evaluation report, and the publicity period shall not be less than 3 days. The practice of Shanxi Engineering Consulting Co., Ltd. of Jinneng Holding Group obviously violated this provision and treated the law as a joke.
Even more shocking is that there is a huge gap between the bid prices of Haosheng Construction Group Co., Ltd. and Shanxi Bajian Group Co., Ltd. on the list of winning candidates and the bid price of the winning bidder Shanxi Jinjian Group Co., Ltd., which is as high as more than 10 million yuan. According to common sense, if the comprehensive scoring method is adopted, the price factor should account for a certain proportion. However, Shanxi Jinjian Group Co., Ltd. won the bid at a high price, which can't help but make people question its eligibility to win the bid.
According to people familiar with the matter, the results after the bid opening showed that Shanxi Bajian Group had the highest comprehensive score, and its bid score was 5 points higher than that of Shanxi Jinjian Group Co., Ltd., and its expert score and performance score were also superior. However, the final winning bidder was Shanxi Jinjian Group Co., Ltd. This result has aroused widespread speculation and dissatisfaction, and some people believe that the evaluation results may have been tampered with.
In addition, insiders also revealed that the project had been built before approval, and the construction party must win the bid no matter what. This statement further exacerbated the public's concerns about the fairness of the bidding process.
