Treasury [2022] 3

Department of Finance (Bureau) of Provinces, autonomous regions, municipalities directly under the Central Government, and cities separately listed under the Plan, and Bureau of Finance of Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps:

Since the implementation of the Regulations on the Implementation of the Government Procurement Law of the People's Republic of China, some local financial departments and market entities have reflected that the first paragraph of Article 19 of the Regulations on the Implementation of the Government Procurement Law of the People's Republic of China, "a large amount of fines", has different standards and large differences in the implementation process. In order to implement the requirements of The State Council on further optimizing the business environment, maintain the order of the government procurement market, and standardize administrative law enforcement, after studying and consulting with relevant departments, the following opinions are hereby put forward:

The "large amount of fine" stipulated in the first paragraph of Article 19 of the Regulations on the Implementation of the Government Procurement Law of the People's Republic of China is identified as a fine of more than 2 million yuan, and laws, administrative regulations and relevant departments of The State Council clearly stipulate that the standard of "large amount of fine" in relevant fields is higher than 2 million yuan, and the provisions thereof shall apply.

These Opinions shall come into force on February 8, 2022, and if the relevant provisions previously promulgated are inconsistent with these Opinions, they shall be implemented in accordance with these Opinions.
