If it involves national security or state secrets, can it be invited for public bidding?

Bidding activities are required to be open, and projects involving national security and state secrets are required to be kept confidential, and relevant information of the projects is not allowed to be disclosed. Therefore, according to the relevant provisions of the state, this kind of project can not be tendered, so a tender announcement cannot be issued. Of course, whether it is classified or not requires the identification of relevant departments.

Confidential items are generally divided into two categories. One is that the procurement information can be made public, but the specific content of the procurement is confidential; Another project should keep the procurement information absolutely confidential. Obviously, the latter type of project can't be announced, while the former type of project had better publish a tender announcement to attract suppliers to bid to the greatest extent. When operating confidential projects, we must grasp the discretion to prevent any information that should be kept confidential.

Legal basis: Article 66 of the Law on Tendering and Bidding stipulates: "Projects involving national security, state secrets, emergency rescue and disaster relief or the use of poverty alleviation funds to replace work, and the need to use migrant workers and other special circumstances that are not suitable for public bidding may not be invited for bidding in accordance with relevant state regulations."
