Friday, October 25, 2019 14:00 (TDT) - A similar contract to demonstrate competence is one of the key requirements for any bidder who wants to win the bid. Because of this important nature that determines the success or failure of the contractor when bidding, so there has been fraud, painting similar contracts. A proper assessment of this behavior is necessary to rectify the bidding. It is not true Up to now, the story of similar contract fraud when the contractors bid has evolved a lot more complicated than before. If in the past, there were similar contracts provided by contractors that were completely fake, fake from seals, signatures and execution value, supplying goods, so far, this trick has been contractors criticized and said that backward and less secure because at any time can be touched by the authorities. About the past 3 years, according to the Bidding Newspaper, similar counterfeiting acts have been much more sophisticated. In some cases, for the purpose of winning a bid, the contractor provides similar contracts with a real seal and signature, while the rest is forged. Ie all the value of construction and installation, goods, invoices, vouchers, acceptance records, settlement ... are fake. A contractor shared to the Bidding Newspaper these magic tricks: With the existing relationship in hand, the contractor can completely create similar and real contracts that are not real as the case. Above easily. Only with the seal, the true signature of a familiar unit can paint the capacity of the contractor to go to bid - a contractor shared. According to the sources of Bidding Newspaper, a bidding package is organizing the contractor selection in An Giang as a typical example of this behavior. Accordingly, a consortium of local contractors has provided similar contracts to execute a construction in Ho Chi Minh City. This contract is valid according to the requirements of the bidding documents (Bidding Documents). However, according to the website of another contractor with an address in Ho Chi Minh City, the project that the contractor in An Giang provided the same contract was directly constructed by the HCMC contractor. Worth mentioning, the project has been completed since 2012. Thus, in addition to the signature, the seal on the contract, this similar contract has been modified the construction period to match the requirements of the Bidding Documents. In Ben Tre, an almost similar story forced the province to issue a 3-year ban on cheating contractors. A contractor in Ho Chi Minh City provided 2 similar contracts to supply goods worth more than 10 billion VND each and were awarded bid. When there was a complaint from the contractors, Ben Tre province stepped in and exposed the fact that the two similar contracts mentioned above were painted, forged completely worth by familiarity between the houses. The contractor and the principal signed the contract. Need rectification, strict handling According to the statistics of the Bidding Newspaper, not many contractors have been severely dealt with about the same forging contracts in bidding. And why are there so many cases of similar contract forgery uncovered? In case the cheating contractor has the wrapper of the investor, this forgery will automatically be recognized, even within the secret for the cheating contractor to win the bid. Only cases where the investor is really objective when evaluating the Bid, want to assess the capacity of the contractor can take cautious steps when evaluating the same contract. Or the contractors themselves have to tinker, verify and personally report to the agencies involved in counterfeiting contracts to get involved. Thus, for many reasons, counterfeiting similar contracts exists automatically, which automatically helps weak contractors win bids. According to a large construction contractor in Ho Chi Minh City, verifying the authenticity of similar contracts is not difficult, the problem is whether the investor wants to do or not. Meanwhile, contractors are also concerned that bidding discipline is being overlooked and ignored by many investors to cover and tolerate fraudulent acts of contractors. Even after the contractor wins the bid, the construction scandal, the investor reluctantly terminates the contract, the blame is due to the capacity of the contractor but not responsible for explaining the selection of this contractor earlier. . Bidding expert Pham Minh Yen of the Bidding Support Center (Department of Bidding Management - Ministry of Planning and Investment) said that there are notary offices certifying the same fake documents and contracts. “This behavior makes the quality of contractor selection in many places not guaranteed. The quality of construction, the quality of the poor supply of goods also originated from these fraudulent but guaranteed contractors, ”Yen said. |
