Core Viewpoint - The 2025 government procurement special rectification work has officially commenced to address four types of illegal activities in the procurement sector, aiming to further standardize the market order and consolidate previous rectification achievements [1][2]. Group 1: Government Procurement Overview - Government procurement involves the use of fiscal funds by various state agencies, institutions, and organizations to purchase goods, projects, and services above a certain threshold. In 2023, the national government procurement scale was approximately 3.39 trillion yuan, and it is projected to be around 3.3 trillion yuan in 2024 [1][2]. - Government procurement accounts for about 10% of fiscal expenditure and serves as a crucial policy tool to support the development of small and medium-sized enterprises, industry growth, and green development [1][2]. Group 2: Issues in Government Procurement - The government procurement sector has revealed issues, particularly the occurrence of unfair competition, with the four types of illegal activities being the most common. The first joint rectification effort in 2024 has shown initial success in curbing these activities and improving the business environment [2][3]. Group 3: Focus of the 2025 Rectification Work - The 2025 rectification work will continue to focus on the four types of illegal activities, such as preferential treatment for local enterprises and unreasonable discriminatory conditions against suppliers based on various criteria [2][4]. - The inspection targets for 2025 will primarily include large government procurement agencies and those previously identified as problematic [3][4]. Group 4: Inspection and Reporting Process - Agencies that meet the "annual inspection" criteria, particularly those with a cumulative winning bid amount exceeding 1.5 billion yuan in the previous year, will be included in the inspection scope. Agencies with a history of administrative penalties will also be prioritized [4][5]. - The inspection process will involve self-inspection by agencies, written reviews by financial departments, on-site checks, extended inspections, and eventual reporting to the Ministry of Finance [6].
