The move is to ensure publicity and transparency during the procurement process, which is in line with the government’s Resolution No.01, stipulating the rate of selecting contractors online in the form of competitive offers and open bidding of at least 50% of the number of bidding packages and 15% of the total value of the packages. 

Following the document, Hanoi requested project owners to identify the number of bidding packages subject to online bidding in their respective procurement plans, which later must be submitted to competent authorities for approval. 

The city’s Department of Planning and Investment is tasked with reporting the result of the process to the Hanoi People’s Committee in its semi-annual and annual reports.

The Vietnamese government expects the online tender process to help increase transparency and reduce administrative costs for the government through the simplification of administrative procedures. 

Additionally, the process would save costs and time for both project owners and contractors, improve productivity and efficiency of the procurement process, and ultimately the public investment. 

The Asian Development Bank (ADB) and the World Bank (WB) have decided to use the Vietnam National E-Procurement System (VNEPS) to implement online bidding for competitive bidding packages for construction and goods supply contracts for projects financed by these two organizations in Vietnam, starting from January 2019. 

Alexander Fox, ADB’s principal procurement specialist, said the e-government procurement system would help Vietnam benefit from advantages in transparency, efficiency, increased competition, and therefore lower prices that have been witnessed in similar system in other countries. 

The VNEPS, operated by the national e-procurement centre, was introduced on a trial basis for six years and officially put into operation nationwide in 2016.
