State-owned or private enterprise? State-owned enterprises need it, private enterprises do not
It is indeed good if equipment maintenance is carried out by a professional maintenance company, but given that the maintenance work is very complex and has a significant impact on the company’s production, it is necessary to conduct bidding!
A tender is definitely necessary. It is possible to first invite professional maintenance companies equipped with complete mechanical, electrical, and instrumentation facilities to come for discussions, and to visit the typical clients they mention as well as hold meetings with them. By making comparisons, it is possible to determine the scope of work and the level of detail required for the bidding process, with as detailed a description as possible. Then a tender is held, and the best maintenance provider is selected by comparing services, management, and prices. Some maintenance companies that were restructured from state-owned enterprises possess relatively strong professional capabilities. In some regional categories, workers from companies of lower quality tend to have a relatively better attitude toward service.
What kind of company are you? Is it a state-owned enterprise or a private one? Can we talk about it? I’m from Shandong; I work mainly in the fields of coal chemical engineering, petrochemical engineering, and fine chemical manufacturing.

We can also go to the site first to see the level of complexity of the equipment
From a preventive perspective, bidding is essential for businesses of any nature! As for determining the bidding threshold, each company sets it according to its own actual circumstances. There is work to be done, and daily supervision must keep up as well! 10 million is not a small amount; our company requires tenders for amounts over 200,000! {:1_90:}
Leave the phone number of the person in your company who is responsible for handling this matter – the calls will pour in! :lol
Is bidding required? It depends on the company’s relevant regulations; if it is a state-owned enterprise, such a large investment definitely requires bidding； (On the surface, it should be able to prevent **) ； In private enterprises, it’s the boss who decides whether to hold a bidding process or not ； We are a foreign-owned company; although we conduct open bidding on the surface, in reality it’s still a few people who hold decision-making power ； It just seems reasonable on the surface.
