It is understood that the reason why Wuxi City is among the best in e-procurement platform, procurement process, procurement result determination, contract management and other aspects is that Wuxi Finance Bureau has actively acted as an innovative service in recent years and made great efforts in six aspects to build a unified, open, competitive and orderly government procurement market system, Improve the public’s satisfaction and recognition of government procurement, and fully promote the optimization and improvement of business environment in the field of government procurement.

In 2021, the contract amount awarded to small, medium-sized and micro enterprises by the city’s government procurement accounted for 83.63%, which reduced the deposit for suppliers by about 1.2 billion yuan, benefiting more than 6300 enterprises. On the other hand, focusing on the “financing difficulties” and capital occupation of small and medium-sized enterprises participating in government procurement, Wuxi took the lead in establishing a new online pure credit “government procurement loan” financing mode to provide guarantee free, mortgage free and low interest rate financial credit services for small and medium-sized enterprises participating in government procurement.

The disclosure of purchase intention is 8 months ahead of the execution time required by the Ministry of finance. At the same time, a mandatory field is set in the system entrustment link to compact the main responsibility of the purchaser, and the purchase intention should be disclosed as soon as possible. In 2021, the city released more than 10000 pieces of government procurement information.
