Government Procurement Disputes, Judicial Settlement Mechanism

In the course of government procurement, various disputes will emerge. Prompt, effective and convenient settlement will be sought as for the characteristics of government procurement. There are two ways of settlement: court settlement and out-of-court settlement, in which the court settlement will be the final judgment and the most important one. Presently, there are many kinds of disputes which can be settled in court, namely, the dispute aroused by the abstract administrative act in the process of government procurement, dispute caused by the purchaser's illegal use of public money, dispute of the third party's interest damages by other government purchaser during the pre-contract stage. We will have to seek new ways of settling the dispute of the third party's interest damages by other government purchaser.We will not only rely on the existing three types of litigation procedure for the settlement of government procurement dispute, but also introduce and set up new judicial systems. We will introduce judicial supervision mechanism for the settlement of dispute caused by the abstract administrative act, the taxplayers' suit system for the settlement of dispute caused by the purchaser's illegal use of public money. And we will set up the third party litigation system for the settlement of dispute caused by the other government purchaser's damages to the third party's interest in the stage of pre-contract.
