  "bluf": "The Vietnam Law on Bidding No. 22/2023/QH15 (Luat Dau thau) passed by the National Assembly on 23 June 2023 and effective 1 January 2024 is the principal Vietnamese statute governing procurement of goods, services, construction works, and consultancy services by state agencies, state-owned enterprises, and public-investment projects. The 2023 Law replaced the prior Law on Bidding No. 43/2013/QH13 and substantially modernised the Vietnamese procurement regime. The 2023 Law was the first comprehensive procurement reform since the 2013 Law and was driven by Vietnam's accession commitments under the EU-Vietnam Free Trade Agreement (EVFTA, in force August 2020), the UK-Vietnam Free Trade Agreement (UKVFTA), and the CPTPP (Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership). The 2023 Law introduced key reforms including (a) expanded scope covering state-owned enterprises with majority state capital, (b) mandatory online procurement through the Vietnam National E-Procurement System (Muasamcong / muasamcong.mpi.gov.vn) operated under the Ministry of Finance (Bo Tai chinh) Procurement Management Department following the 2024-25 administrative reform that transferred procurement oversight from the Ministry of Planning and Investment, (c) preferential treatment for domestic goods and small/medium enterprises within Vietnamese constitutional and trade obligations, (d) strengthened anti-corruption and integrity provisions including supplier debarment, (e) procurement methods comprising open bidding (rong rai), limited bidding (han che), direct contracting (chi dinh thau), competitive offer (chao hang canh tranh), self-implementation (tu thuc hien), bid in special cases, and selection of contractor in special cases, and (f) provisions on green public procurement and sustainable procurement criteria. Following Vietnam's 2024-25 administrative reform, the Ministry of Finance (Bo Tai chinh) Procurement Management Department (Cuc Quan ly dau thau) is the principal regulator and operator of the Muasamcong national e-procurement system; the procurement function transferred from the Ministry of Planning and Investment to the Ministry of Finance. The 2023 Law operates within the broader framework of the Vietnamese Civil Code 2015, the Law on Tendering, the Public Investment Law 2019, and the State Budget Law 2015.",
