This is executed from December to the early of January of the next year(the year concerned), and can simply be understand as a process to shorten the administrative period of procurement as it's being corrected if there's an error before the regular invitation for bid. Therefore the company wanting to participate the bid should put this period to use as a chance to reexamine the discriminating data of items.
