质疑政府采购合同适用《合同法》

Query on the Application of the Contract Law to Government Procurement Contract

从采购人的主体性质、采购资金的来源、采购目的、采购人的权利义务、采购程序等方面来看 ,政府采购合同属于行政合同 ,不同于一般平等主体之间的民事合同 ,因此不能一概适用合同法。此外 ,若适用合同法 ,在某些情形下不利于监督采购主体依法行政、有效保障供应商的合法权益 。

Government procurement contract is different from civil contract in following aspects: the nature of procuring entities, the sources of procuring funds, the goal of procurement, the rights and obligations of procuring entities. So, the contract law can not be applicable to government procurement contract without exception. If the contact law is applied to government procurement contract, it is not beneficial for the procuring entities to administrate according to law and not good to protect legal rights of the suppliers effectively. It is also hard for the procuring entities to be liable for compensation or reimbursement.
