The public announcement period for the winning candidate is not set in accordance with statutory requirements, affecting the handling of objections and complaints.

The system for publicizing winning bidders is an important institutional arrangement in tendering and bidding activities that safeguards bidders' right to be informed and their right to raise objections. According to the provisions of the Tendering and Bidding Law and the Implementing Regulations for the Tendering and Bidding Law, for projects that must be tendered in accordance with the law, the tenderee shall publicize the winning bidders within three days from the date of receiving the bid evaluation report, and the publicity period shall not be less than three days. However, in engineering practice, violations in the publicity of winning bidders occur from time to time. The publicity period is shorter than the statutory three-day standard; some projects publicize for only one day or even half a day. The publicity content is incomplete, publicizing only the names and quotations of the winning bidders without disclosing key information in the bid evaluation report. During the publicity period, the tenderee has already begun contract negotiations or issued the notice of award. From a legal perspective, a publicity period that does not meet statutory requirements constitutes a procedural violation. According to Article 81 of the Implementing Regulations for the Tendering and Bidding Law, if the tenderee fails to handle objections in accordance with statutory procedures during the publicity period or continues the tendering process, it shall be ordered to make corrections; if it refuses to make corrections, a fine of not less than 5 per thousand and not more than 10 per thousand of the amount of the winning project shall be imposed. From the perspective of operational impact, the driving force behind arbitrarily shortening the publicity period is usually the tenderee's eagerness to advance the project schedule, but once the publicity period issue is complained about by a bidder, the administrative supervision department will suspend the tendering activities after accepting the complaint, causing the overall schedule to decline rather than improve. The core measures to solve such problems include the tenderee establishing a standardized tendering procedure operation manual, incorporating the publicity of winning bidders as a key control node into the approval process of the project management system, setting up an objection acceptance window in parallel during the publicity period, and prohibiting any contract negotiations or issuance of the notice of award before the objection period expires. From the perspective of systems engineering in engineering management, solving this problem requires the coordinated advancement of four dimensions: institutional design, process control, technical support, and cultural development. At the institutional design level, clear responsibility boundaries and operating procedures must be established, translating regulatory requirements into executable job responsibilities and work standards. At the process control level, full-life-cycle quality supervision and dynamic correction must be implemented to ensure that the work results of each stage meet expected goals. At the technical support level, information-based methods and intelligent tools should be actively introduced to improve the precision and efficiency of management. At the cultural development level, quality awareness and compliance awareness must be cultivated among all staff to create an organizational atmosphere that pursues excellence. Only by organically combining these four dimensions can the recurring common quality problems and persistent management issues in engineering construction be fundamentally solved, achieving continuous improvement and excellent performance in project management.
