On this matter, the Ministry of Planning and Investment responded as follows:

Under Article 97 Clause 9 of Government Decree No. 24/2024/ND-CP, cases exempt from bidding on the National Bidding System include bidding packages conducted through nomination.

Therefore, bidding packages conducted through nomination do not need to comply with the regulations of the National Bidding System as specified.
