Office furniture budget price ceiling standard needs to be improved

Around the "2013-2014 office furniture fixed-point procurement project of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China", the evaluation of the bidding and the announcement of the bid-winning announcement, for a long time, the furniture project leader and the furniture bidding supplier criticized the "central administrative unit general office equipment furniture The purchase cost budget standard (Trial) (hereinafter referred to as "office equipment furniture purchase fee budget standard") has once again become the focus of attention.

In April 2011, the Ministry of Finance issued the “Standards for the Purchase of Furniture for Office Equipment”, the most controversial of which is the “price ceiling standard”. For example, the price of a desk and chair should not exceed 6,000 yuan, and the price of a desk and chair below the department level should not exceed 3,000 yuan. The reporter found that according to the current level of a set of solid wood office desks and chairs in Beijing. The actual price of the cabinet and the cabinet is 13,000 yuan.

The standard requires that the price of a "set of sofas" (including a coffee table, including a three-person sofa, two single sofas, a large coffee table, a small coffee table) should not exceed 5,000 yuan, according to the average supplier price. The price of a group of three ordinary leather sofas used at the department level is at least 3,000 yuan, while the price of the leather sofa is at least 4,000 yuan, and the price of 3000 to 4000 yuan is for the department level, and does not include the coffee table.

It is not difficult to see that the standard price and the actual purchase price can be said to be a thousand miles. For such a price cap, the person in charge of a procurement center furniture project said: "The budget for the purchase of office equipment furniture is issued by the Ministry of Finance on April 13, 2011. The reference is the market price in 2010, 3 years. In the past, furniture was different from IT products. The cost of raw materials, labor, and transportation was rising. It was difficult to implement the actual price in the past.

This budget standard not only has a situation that does not match the market price, but also has the disadvantage of using the population level, material, size and other provisions too rough. According to the standard, the reporter found that when interviewing relevant manufacturers, it is difficult to answer the question of the price of a file cabinet. It is difficult to answer the question, at least whether it is steel or wood? If it is wood, is it a plate or solid wood? The results show that if it is wood furniture, the price ceiling standard specified in the "Office Equipment Furniture Expense Budget" is difficult to buy quality-assured products.

The price that a steel small and micro enterprise manufacturer explained to reporters during the interview was basically in line with the price ceiling standard. But the last sentence of the manufacturer means a lot: "I am talking about the lowest price, and the actual purchase cannot be like this."

Undoubtedly, the consequences of the "information standard for the purchase of furniture for office equipment" are not detailed enough, and the price ceiling is too low, which is directly caused by the purchaser. But there are often policies and countermeasures. In order to meet the requirements of the standard and meet the basic needs of users of this unit, most purchasers adopt office furniture products that purchase individualized needs, so that they can successfully avoid the “Standards for the Purchase Cost of Office Equipment Furniture”. Strict regulations. Some suppliers even bluntly said: "There is definitely a countermeasure."

The person in charge of a purchasing center furniture project said: "If the standard can not be meticulous and scientific, the office furniture fixed-point procurement project will always face the diverse needs of the purchaser. The regulations on the winning bidding products and the winning bid price will become It makes no sense. In fact, it is not difficult to formulate a detailed and enforceable standard. "The real situation is that if the purchaser can adhere to the price ceiling standard, then the product he purchases is likely to be unable to make this. The user of the unit gets basic satisfaction.
