As an intermediary organization engaged in bidding agency business and providing related services in the construction market, the bidding agency for engineering construction projects conducts business in accordance with the principles of openness, justice, fairness and good faith. With the approach of the 2008 Olympic Games, the economic construction environment will be further improved, the scale of the construction market will be further expanded, more foreign capital will enter the construction market, and bidding agencies will face market competition and challenges under the conditions of economic globalization. In this situation, the development of bidding agencies is not optimistic, the main reasons are as follows:
First, the agency behavior is not standardized. The concrete manifestations are as follows: first, individual agencies violate the basic principles of market competition, depress agency fees and compete maliciously in order to undertake tasks; Make some unrealistic promises to the construction unit, such as ensuring that the bidding unit that the construction unit likes wins the bid. Second, due to the limitation of its own business level, the tendering agency made mistakes, which caused losses to the tendering units and tendering units. Third, the irregularity of the tenderer's behavior directly leads to the irregularity of the agency behavior. Intermediaries, as the third party in the construction market, should carry out their work in accordance with the principles of openness, justice, fairness and good faith. However, in practice, it is often restricted by various reasons of the construction unit, and it is difficult to be fair and just in the agency activities. Therefore, only by standardizing the behavior of the construction unit from the source can the agency behavior be standardized.
Second, the quality of employees needs to be improved. Those who engage in bidding agency business should be highly intelligent and compound talents. However, due to the limited establishment time of the bidding agency, most employees have engaged in engineering technology management and consulting, but they don't know much about bidding and lack practical experience. In the process of agency, it is often because of weak legal awareness, low professional level, or easy to be influenced by the will of the construction unit on principled issues, or lead to bidding mistakes, resulting in adverse effects and irreparable losses. Third, the overall scale and level of the organization are small. Compared with the advanced level of the same industry at home and abroad, there is a big gap in enterprise scale, technical level and service quality. Especially with the fulfillment of China's WTO commitments, foreign consulting giants may seize the China market at any time, and their strong strength, rich experience and advanced technical means will make our fledgling institution face the test of survival and development.
Fourth, relevant laws, regulations and rules lag behind. In addition to the Bidding Law and Order No.79 of the Ministry of Construction, the state has not yet issued corresponding measures for the management of bidding agencies, which makes the agencies at a loss to some extent and increases the difficulty for the government to implement effective supervision and management.
Fifth, the social recognition of the status of bidding agent is not enough. Although the "Bidding Law" stipulates: "A tenderer has the right to choose a bidding agency and entrust it to handle bidding matters." Article 7 of the Interim Provisions on the Management of Bidding Qualification of Construction Units in Shandong Province stipulates: "The bidding agency of the construction unit may organize bidding after examination and approval; If you do not have the qualification for bidding, you should entrust a bidding agency with corresponding qualifications approved by the construction administrative department. " However, some construction units that do not have the qualification for bidding unilaterally think that bidding agency is unnecessary, spend a lot of money and refuse to entrust an agent; Or reduce the agency fee or attach some unreasonable conditions. In the long run, it is impossible for these practices to obtain high-quality services and cultivate high-level industry teams.
In this case, the tendering agency must clearly understand the current situation, clear its thinking, further seize the opportunity, strive to improve quality of enterprise, enhance its core competitiveness, and meet the challenge of international competition in a short time. At the same time, government departments will further transform government functions, improve the management system, make it more suitable for the requirements of market economy and participation in international economic cooperation and competition, and gradually realize the legalization of management behavior, the scientific management form, the knowledge of management subjects and the informationization of management process, and improve the administrative management level and public service ability. Specifically, we should start from the following aspects:
The first is to establish the professional ethics and credit evaluation system of bidding agents. Quality and reputation are the lifeblood of agency enterprises, and it is impossible to imagine how an intermediary agency that has lost its credit can survive in the fierce market competition. The establishment of professional ethics standards and credit evaluation system is the need of the development of market economy, and it also allows enterprises to regard reputation as their own life, self-esteem, self-love and self-improvement.
The second is to establish and improve various rules and regulations. The Ministry of Construction is studying and improving the management methods of agency qualification. According to the actual situation, our city issued the Interim Measures for Comprehensive Evaluation of Bidding Agencies for Construction Projects in Qingdao and the Notice on Further Regulating the Market Behavior of Bidding Agencies, in order to strengthen the management of bidding agencies, integrate bidding agencies and promote their development in the direction of standardization and legalization.
The third is to strengthen the training of government employees and improve their professional ethics. With the intensification of market competition, the pressures faced by enterprises come from the pressure of talent competition in the final analysis. The cultivation of talents is the source of continuous innovation and sustainable development of enterprises. The training of the staff of the tendering agency should be connected with the training of the staff of large international consulting companies, including not only business knowledge, but also comprehensive coordination ability, language communication ability, social ability and writing ability. Only high-quality compound talents can build high-level agents and intermediaries, and high-level intermediaries can calmly face the opportunities and challenges brought about by China's entry into WTO.
The fourth is to give play to the functions of trade associations. Give full play to the bridge role of trade associations and strengthen exchanges and communication between the government and enterprises. Authorized by the government, the association can organize qualification management, personnel training, academic seminars, market research and other work, timely understand the opinions and suggestions of enterprises on government management and industry development, put forward countermeasures, and provide support for government departments to formulate policies.
Fifth, focus on cultivating a number of large-scale and high-level intermediaries. The development of the bidding agency market is bound to be polarized, and those with good reputation and high quality will seek greater development on the basis of their stable development. Government departments should provide relevant services in a timely manner, guide bidding agencies to expand their technology-centered business boundaries, explore the road of sustainable development, maintain the sustainable innovation ability of enterprises, and promote their scale and level by mastering the latest scientific and technological means.
Sixth, actively cultivate the bidding agency market and stimulate market demand. The tendering agency has not yet achieved its due position in the consciousness of some subjects in the construction market. By cultivating mature construction market subjects, we can fully realize the due position and role of intermediaries in the construction market activities, activate the bidding agency market and expand demand.
Seventh, strengthen the exchange of agency peers and the scientific theoretical research of agency development. Bidding agent is a new thing in the construction market and a sunrise industry in the construction industry. How to make it develop healthily and continuously, there are still many problems that need further study. Strengthen horizontal and vertical cooperation and exchanges, develop and improve relevant scientific theories, and embark on a competitive bidding agency road with China characteristics and in line with international practices.
