As an important institutional arrangement of public financial management, the original meaning of government procurement is to standardize government purchase behavior, save financial funds, and prevent corruption from the source. If the purchasing department does not check the price, it goes against the original intention of the system. According to a survey released by the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, nearly 80 percent of the goods purchased by some local governments are higher than the market price. This reflects two problems: on the one hand, the procurement demand is unreasonable, only the expensive is not right; on the other hand, there is something fishy in the bidding process of government procurement. Who supervises government procurement has always been the weakness of the procurement system. Procurement bidding operates in a space where there is no sunshine, which leads to the chaos of anti-market competition.
