(1) Measures for the administration of franchising of municipal public utilities (Order No. 126 of the Ministry of construction of the people’s Republic of China, effective from May 1, 2004)
Article 2 of the measures for the administration of franchising of municipal public utilities stipulates: “these Measures shall apply to the franchising of urban water supply, gas supply, heat supply, public transportation, sewage treatment, garbage treatment and other industries according to law.
”Article 4 of the measures for the administration of franchising of municipal public utilities stipulates: “the competent departments of municipal public utilities under the people’s governments of municipalities, cities and counties directly under the central government shall be responsible for the specific implementation of franchising of municipal public utilities within their respective administrative regions in accordance with the authorization of the people’s governments (hereinafter referred to as the” competent departments “) Article 8 of the measures for the administration of franchising of municipal public utilities stipulates: “the competent department shall select investors or operators in accordance with the following procedures: (I) propose franchising projects of municipal public utilities, submit them to the people’s governments of municipalities, cities and counties directly under the central government for approval, publicly publish bidding conditions to the public and accept bids; (II) According to the bidding conditions, conduct qualification examination and scheme pre examination for the bidders with franchise rights, and recommend qualified bidding candidates; (III) organize the review committee to review according to law, and select the best object of franchise right after questioning and public reply; (IV) publicize the bid winning results to the public for no less than 20 days; (V) after the expiration of the publicity period, if there is no objection to the bid winner, a franchise agreement shall be signed with the bid winner (hereinafter referred to as the “enterprise with franchise right”) with the approval of the people’s Government of the municipality, city or county directly under the central government. “
(2) Measures for the administration of franchising of infrastructure and public utilities (Decree No. 25 of the national development and Reform Commission of the people’s Republic of China, the Ministry of finance of the people’s Republic of China, the Ministry of housing and urban rural development of the people’s Republic of China, the Ministry of transport of the people’s Republic of China, the Ministry of water resources of the people’s Republic of China and the people’s Bank of China, effective as of June 1, 2015)

Therefore, failure to perform bidding or competitive negotiation procedures does not belong to Article 153 of the civil code of the people’s Republic of China, “Violation of mandatory provisions of laws and administrative regulations” leads to the invalidation of the contract or civil act.
(2) The defect of the acquisition procedure does not belong to the situation specified in the termination clause in the franchise agreement

No. company name project early termination clause
