“Survey on the Current Situation of China’s School Uniform Procurement” released
On January 11, the China School Uniform Industry Research Center of the China National Garment Association released the first domestic “Survey on the Current Situation of China’s School Uniform Procurement” report. The writing committee, co-writing and publishing unit Guoco Law Firm and member companies of the research center They jointly shared and discussed procurement-related aspects such as the current regulations and policies of China’s school uniform procurement, supply and demand overview, typical models, and regulatory status. China’s school uniform procurement has gradually shown a market-oriented development trend, which has promoted the quality and branding of the industry in the past ten years. In order to solve the problems that still exist such as insufficient market competition mechanism, regional administrative monopoly, and low standardization, all parties need to work together Further promote the improvement of legislation, standardize the school uniform procurement model, and promote the high-quality supply of school uniforms.
Yang Jinchun, executive vice president of the China National Garment Association and director of the China School Uniform Industry Research Center, said that although China’s school uniform procurement model is complex, as long as the government, schools, and enterprises can truly consider students, start from the students’ perspective, and Putting your interests first will achieve satisfactory results. “Therefore, the supervisor only does a good job in supervision, without crossing the line or being in a wrong position; the proposer only makes valuable suggestions, without making a final decision or taking over everything. In the actual procurement process, administrative intervention and power dominance should be eliminated, and the right to choose school uniforms should be returned to students. and parents, through market means, it can not only meet the actual needs of students and parents, but also promote the long-term and healthy development of the school uniform industry.”
The report shows that the main units that currently dominate the purchase of school uniforms in China are the government, schools and parent committees. These three units will independently organize or entrust a bidding agency to purchase school uniforms through public bidding, invitational bidding, competitive negotiation, competitive consultation, inquiry, and filing.
Due to its particularity, the school uniform industry has always been subject to strong supervision by many departments. According to the “Survey on the Current Situation of China’s School Uniform Procurement” report, according to incomplete statistics, the supervision system of the school uniform department involves 15 departments including the National Development and Reform Commission and local branches. The school uniform industry spans two large-span fields of education and clothing. On the one hand, as a small carrier of campus aesthetic education, it is difficult to enter the daily sight of the education authorities; on the other hand, the quality and procurement supervision of school uniforms are different from In the field of clothing circulation, a management pattern of “multi-department and strong supervision” has been formed. The shortcomings of insufficient market competition mechanisms have also become increasingly prominent as parents’ quality and aesthetic needs have upgraded.
According to Zhu Yujuan, a lawyer at Guoco Law Firm, the co-author of the report, the school uniform management documents issued by the Ministry of Education at the national level or the local education committees or education departments (bureaus) are all guiding normative documents. It is not a legislative document, has a low level of effectiveness, and has no legally binding force. Education departments in various places can selectively accept “guidance.” “Clearly clarifying the responsibilities, roles and positioning of education administration departments, schools, parent committees/parents in school uniform procurement is crucial to standardizing school uniform procurement.”
The report on related issues believes that promoting legislation is not only the responsibility of public authorities. Industry associations and school uniform companies have an important voice in promoting the formulation of laws and regulations. Industry associations or chambers of commerce can play an important role in industry surveys, industry statistics, industry standard formulation, industry resource integration, and industry exchanges and docking.
