Under Art. 43(1) of the Government Procurement Act, except otherwise prohibited by treaties or agreements, a procuring entity in Taiwan may take into account for evaluation of a bid whether or not a supplier is willing to transfer its technology, provided that such a measure does not make up more than one third in the evaluation. This is further specified in Art. 45 of the Enforcement Rules for the Government Procurement Act.

Several procurement mechanisms under the Government Procurement Act are reported to undercut transparency of the institutional system. First, under Art. 36 of the Government Procurement Act (enacted in 1998), the qualification of foreign suppliers and the qualification documents to be submitted by them may be prescribed separately in the tender documentation only when there are actual needs for procurement, rather than being published on a regular basis, creating unpredictability and lack of transparency for foreign suppliers preparing for bids. Second, the requirement set forth in Art. 37 of the Act to procuring entities that the entities must prescribe only the qualifications essential to contract performance does not apply to foreign suppliers (see Art. 6 of Regulations Governing the Participation of Foreign Suppliers in the Procurement Not Subject To Any Treaties or Agreement).

Foreign suppliers from countries that are parties to relevant treaties or agreements (e.g., WTO Agreement on Government Procurement) are accorded national treatment and non-discrimination from procuring entities. However, under Art. 17 of the Government Procurement Act (enacted in 1998), procuring entities in Taiwan may ban or restrict the participation of:
- foreign suppliers from countries that are not parties to such agreements or
- foreign suppliers in procurement activities to which Taiwan is not under any obligation to accord national treatment or non-discrimination.
Furthermore, per Art. 6 of the "Regulations Governing the Participation of Foreign Suppliers in the Procurement not Subject to any Treaties or Agreement," such suppliers are not accorded the equal opportunity to be invited to tendering procedures, the equal qualification requirements applicable to domestic suppliers, and the non-discrimination requirements.
