Article 50

There are three bid evaluation methods for procurement of goods or services in an invitation for bid, namely, the lowest price method,
comprehensive scoring method and price quality method.

Article 51

The lowest price method refers to the bid evaluation method in which the determination of candidate suppliers for winning the bid
are mainly based on prices, that is, on the premise that all substantive requirements in the bid-invitation documents have been met,
the lowest prices are determined according to the uniform price factors, and the bidders who quote the lowest prices shall be regarded
as candidate suppliers for winning the bid or the bid-winning supplier.

The lowest price method shall apply to projects of normatively customized commodities and general services.

Article 52

The comprehensive scoring method refers to the bid evaluation method in which the bidders who get the highest total scores in the
bid evaluation are regarded as the candidate suppliers for winning the bid or the bid-winning supplier after the bids have been comprehensively
evaluated according to all the factors stated in the bid-invitation documents, on the premise that the substantive requirements in
the bid-invitation documents are met to the fullest extent.

The main factors of comprehensive scoring include: price, technical and financial status, credit standing, performance, services,
the extent of response to the bid-invitation documents, and the corresponding proportion or weight, etc. All the said factors shall
be stated in the bid-invitation documents in advance.

At the time of bid evaluation, each member of the bid evaluation committee shall independently evaluate the bidding documents of each
effective bidder and score for them, and then add up the scores of each bidder concerning all scoring factors.

Where comprehensive scoring method is adopted, the proportion (weight) of the price score of the involved goods to the total score
shall be 30% to 60%, while the proportion (weight) of the price score of the involved services to the total score shall be 10% to
30%. The price of the service to which the unified price is applied, however, shall not be listed as the scoring factor. In case
adjustment is needed under a special situation, it shall be approved by the finance department of the people’s government at the
same level.

Total score in bid evaluation = F11+F22++Fnn

F1, F2Fn are separately the total scores concerning all scoring factors;

A1, A2An are separately the weights of all scoring factors (A1 + A2 + +An = 1).

Article 53

The price quality method means the bid evaluation method in which the bidding documents are evaluated as required, then the total
score of each effective bidder concerning all other scoring factors except the price factor (including technical and financial status,
credit standing, performance, services, the extent of response to the bid-invitation documents, etc.) is calculated and divided by
the bidding price quoted by the bidder, and the bidder with highest quotient (total score in bid evaluation) is regarded as a candidate
supplier for winning the bid or the bid-winning supplier.

Total score in bid evaluation = B/N

B shall be the comprehensive score of the bidders. B = F11 + F22 ++ Fn n, of which: F1, F2, Fn are separately the
total scores concerning all scoring factors except the price factor; A1, A2, An are separately the weights of all scoring factors
except the price factor (A1+A2++An = 1).

N is the bidding price quoted by the bidder.

Article 54

The bid evaluation shall conform to the following working procedures:

(1)

Preliminary examinations of bidding documents. The preliminary examinations include qualification examination and conformity examination.

Qualification examination. To, in accordance with the laws, regulations and the stipulations in the bid-invitation documents, examine
the qualification certificates, bid bond, etc. in the bidding documents, so as to determine whether the bidding suppliers are qualified
for the bidding.

Conformity examination. To, according to the prescriptions in the bid-invitation documents, examine the validity and integrity of
the bidding documents, and the extent of response to the bid-invitation documents, so as to determine whether to respond to the substantive
requirements in the bid-invitation documents.
