Zhongxin United Tendering and Bidding System

The current intelligent transformation has become a new engine and driving force for promoting high-quality development in various industrial fields. As an important link in the procurement supply chain, bidding and tendering, the construction of its intelligent system, will become an important tool for building a modern smart supply chain and creating a world-class enterprise. In order to create the "Internet plus bidding" working mode and optimize the business environment in the bidding field, the ZXLH Union Cloud Business Platform has developed a bidding system, which will be put into use in October 2022. By the beginning of May 2023, a total of 344 bids have been completed, with a total bidding price of 1.197 billion yuan!

The Zhongxinlian Tendering and Bidding System is a comprehensive procurement management system centered on bidding information business, achieving unified online business collaboration and resource sharing. It meets the networked, informationized, and digital processing requirements for the entire process of procurement project application, bidding, and evaluation. In a fair and transparent environment, it helps steel enterprises improve scale efficiency and reduce costs. It is an advanced and safe refined procurement comprehensive management system.

Process digitization

The implementation of the Zhongxinlian bidding system represents the group's bidding and procurement work entering a new era of full process digitalization. The Zhongxin United Tendering and Bidding System seamlessly integrates with OA, electronic signature, procurement system, contract management system, and contract performance tracking system, creating approval processes with one click and signing contracts with one click, officially entering the "intelligent era" of full process electronic bidding and procurement work.

The Zhongxin Lian Tendering and Bidding System ensures the full process of electronic procurement by managing online bidding, bidding, bid evaluation and determination, bid notification, purchase order, contract generation, electronic signature, and contract performance tracking, providing strong digital support for creating an open, fair, and green tendering and bidding environment.

Bidirectional cost reduction

Since its inception, the Zhongxin United Tendering and Bidding System has eliminated all paper based bidding documents, achieving paperless bidding throughout the entire process, breaking through time and space limitations, and implementing "no face-to-face" bidding. Enterprises do not need to be on-site during bid opening, but only need to remotely operate computers and participate in interactive services. This saves accommodation, labor, transportation, printing and binding fees, and time costs for all parties involved in bidding and tendering, effectively promoting the green development of enterprises.

Through the Zhongxinlian bidding system, procurement personnel can achieve more comprehensive and accurate bidding, and through genuine market competition, obtain higher quality procurement results, achieving the goal of reducing procurement costs.

The system has conducted a total of 267 bidding for spare parts, involving over 30000 items of materials, with a cumulative bidding amount of 263 million yuan, a comprehensive reduction of 13.24%, and a reduction of 37.1428 million yuan in procurement costs for the bidding party.

There have been 64 bids for raw fuel and auxiliary materials, covering geological and mineral resources, fuel, auxiliary materials, and refractory materials, involving 3.76 million tons of materials, with a total cumulative amount of 934 million yuan.

Easily improve efficiency

The application of the Zhongxinlian bidding system will greatly improve the efficiency of bidding and procurement execution between the group and various subsidiary business units, further connect and integrate the front-end and back-end systems of the platform, and integrate all functions into one system. Completely liberate the time and energy of business personnel from tedious transactional work, automate various management processes in the procurement process, 

By focusing more on the work that requires wisdom and professional experience the most, it effectively improves procurement efficiency and safeguards the comprehensive management of the group's supply chain.

The digitalization of the entire bidding process makes bidding activities more efficient, standardized, and transparent, while saving resources and transaction costs. It integrates supply chain, information chain, industrial chain, and value chain, breaking through the bottleneck of bidding management implementation, and providing "smart wings" for the high-quality development of the bidding industry.
