The cross-domain communication and contact meeting of the National Procurement Integrity Platform was held, and the public and private sectors worked together to continue the cooperation in developing the new office building.

Our agency introduced private resources into the joint development project of state-owned land such as Lot No. 225, Section 5, Ren'ai Section, Da'an District, Taipei City. The cooperative enterprise built two government office buildings on behalf of our agency at the original site of the Ren'ai Section. Our agency also provided two sites in the Nangang Section and Zhongshan Section to establish surface rights for cooperative enterprises to build and operate their own buildings. This is the first off-site development model in Taiwan where the public and private sectors cooperate to develop state-owned land to build office buildings.

This cooperative development project was repeatedly unsuccessful in bidding due to the impact of price fluctuations, rising investment costs and other macro-environmental factors. After the project content was reviewed three times and reported to the Executive Yuan for approval and revision, it was finally successfully awarded. In view of the fact that the construction of the General Office Building has entered the actual implementation stage, the Agency, adhering to the spirit of "cross-domain cooperation", "public-private partnership", "administrative transparency", and "public supervision" of the Procurement Integrity Platform, held a Procurement Integrity Platform Liaison Meeting on May 16, 2015. It was chaired by Deputy Director General Li Zhengzong of the Agency, and invited Chief Prosecutor Jiang Zhenyu of the Taipei District Prosecutors Office, Chairman Ye Yizhang of the Taiwan Transparency Organization Association, Architect Huang Xiuzhuang, Section Chief Li Zhengli of the Public Works Commission of the Executive Yuan, Deputy Chief Hong Junyue of the Anti-Corruption Group of the Independent Commission Against Corruption of the Ministry of Justice, and Deputy Director Lin Xinjie of the Political Affairs Department of the Ministry of Finance to attend the meeting.

In addition to briefings on construction planning, the cooperating vendors also explained topics proposed by the Agency, such as surveys of the current status of neighboring buildings, prevention of damage to neighbors, earthwork handling, handling of external forces or lobbying, and traffic maintenance. Public and private sector participants and experts and scholars also provided substantive suggestions, and there was lively exchange and feedback with each other, giving full play to the liaison mechanism of the procurement integrity platform. It is hoped that through this meeting, an open and transparent administrative environment will be jointly built to make the subsequent construction process more legal, comprehensive and smooth.
