The auction site steel traders actively participated


The reporter seized the time to conduct the interview. Li Wenfeng, president of Shanghai SDL Electronic Trading Market, told reporters that the biggest difference between online auction bidding and the traditional tender procurement is that according to the progress of the project, the amount of steel purchased for a large project can be divided into smaller pieces. The bids are tendered in batches and in batches. This will not only increase the bidding scope, but also greatly increase the number of companies participating in bids and achieve full bids. It will also reduce intermediate supply processes, shorten lead times, reduce inventory, save resources, and save procurement costs. The tender fee is only 20% of the traditional tender. The traditional tendering model is basically a project divided into several bids, or a project is a subject, a one-time bid for procurement, so that the target is large, the company's qualification requirements are high, and companies that can participate in bidding are naturally less, and It takes at least one month for a tender. General Manager Li also told reporters that the auction bidding platform for steel procurement includes two major pieces: one is the bidding system that has just been demonstrated, and the other is the protection system, including the margin mechanism, quality monitoring mechanism and after-sales service guarantee, and the market conducts full follow-up supervision. , traders can rest assured purchase.

General Manager Ge Hua, general manager of Shanghai Haoxiang Trading Co., Ltd., who purchased steel for construction sites, was very excited to see reporters after watching an online bidding procurement demonstration. This bidding and purchasing platform has been truly fair and transparent. No one can stop competitors at will. It truly embodies the "sunshine procurement," which effectively eliminates commercial bribery, and it also adds a sales channel for us.
