The European Union Chamber of Commerce in China is delighted to invite you to the launch of the Public Procurement in China report.
The current regulatory framework for government procurement in China impedes efficiency and innovation for the Chinese economy as a whole, and represents a missed business opportunity the size of the South Korean economy for European business in China.
Still, the implications of China’s public procurement system remain relatively unknown or misunderstood outside specialist circles. Given the importance of public procurement for the Chinese and world economies as a whole, it is important that public debate surrounding necessary reform occur within an accurate, focused set of terms. This study aims to make a contribution to this debate.
Based upon in-depth interviews with senior Chamber member company executives, the study also builds upon consultation with government officials, academic experts and legal practitioners. The study draws on this deep reservoir of expertise to identify common challenges at various steps in the bidding process. Sector-specific issues are highlighted in a section on bidding experiences in the windpower generation equipment sector and information and communication technologies.
