However, there remained difficulties and problems arising from the implementation of the Directive No. 494 / CT-TTg by ministries, departments and local authorities, such as: (1) There are no technical safeguards to protect the domestically produced commodities, especially for machinery products; (2) The propaganda campaign for implementation of the regulatory policy on enhancing the use of domestically produced supplies and commodities during the bidding procedure is still limited; (3) The perception as well as the capacity and experience of the investor and the bid solicitor in respect of implementation of this policy are limited and insufficient. The competitiveness of domestic producers is poor in terms of technical qualifications of workforce, price and quality of goods and services. (4) The investor, the bid solicitor do not have sufficient information on domestically produced supplies and commodities as these items have not been updated regularly; (5) there is still a limitation on domestically produced goods in the invitation for bid or request for proposal.
