In recent years, the architectural planning and design has been categorized into the “heterogeneous” most advantageous tender, most architectural procurement has been handled by the “restricted tender”, and other tendering methods were seldom applied in principle. Since Government’s strict investigation on the restricted selection methods, even related regulations have been relaxed, the competent authorities still follow the previous patterns; therefore, it has resulted in implementing contradiction or repetition in the process, and further to affect architects’ willingness of tender. In addition, the technical service is belonged to the category of “labor purchasing” in Government Procurement Act, and its purchasing method can be divided into these following types: “open tender”, “restricted tender” and “selected tender”. How the organizing authority to select the optimal and fair tendering method and attract architects to place their tender?
