In response to this, relevant staff members of the Anqing Public Resource Trading Supervision and Administration Bureau responded to Upstream News reporters, saying, "Sometimes some projects may be terminated or suspended due to force majeure reasons, or if the project should not have been carried out originally, but regardless of the situation, potential bidders should be informed." As for the way of notification, the above-mentioned staff emphasized, "There is no specific form stipulated by law, and it can be communicated to specific bidders one by one by phone, or it can be a non targeted and universal notification, such as a public announcement."
Regarding Mr. Cheng, the bidder, who mentioned the issue of "bidding ends in 0 seconds", the above staff explained: "It may be related to the system because the owner has suspended the bidding for this subject matter, but it cannot be suspended in the system. It still follows the normal procedure and only closes it when it reaches the starting time of the bidding."
