The China Bidding Public Service Platform suspended a tender this week for the construction of a 4 GW off-grid PV project to be developed in Gansu province. It said it halted the procurement exercise partly due to the withdrawal of bidders.
The authority started the tender proceedings earlier this week. It said the suspension was specifically due to the incorrect filing of some documents by one of the bidders.
“It is expected that the bidding will continue,” said the platform.
