According to the different forms of government procurement, suppliers can be divided into single suppliers and consortium suppliers. A single supplier refers to a supplier who participates in government procurement alone in its own name, and a consortium supplier refers to two or more suppliers who participate in government procurement in the form of a consortium.
China's "Government Procurement Law" clearly stipulates that two or more legal persons and natural persons can form a supplier consortium to participate in government procurement activities together.
Extended data:
