For example, if the scale of the project is small and it may not be possible to attract enough bidders to compete, other procurement methods may be considered; If the project requirements are high, the bidders can be screened by means of pre-qualification. At the same time, it is also necessary to consider the cost of bidding, including the cost of preparing bidding documents, the cost of bidding announcement, the cost of bid evaluation, etc., to ensure the economy and feasibility of bidding.
