According to a tender notice published by the China Tobacco Electronic Procurement Platform on August 4, 2026, Jinhua Tobacco, a municipal tobacco company in China’s Zhejiang province, has launched a public tender for an e-cigarette-related violation lead monitoring and consulting service project.
The project is valued at CNY 2.7 million and covers data resource integration and analytical consulting services. The service period will run for 36 months from the signing of the contract, according to the announcement.
Project focuses on data integration and analysis of e-cigarette-related violation leads
The tender was issued by Zhejiang Province Tobacco Company Jinhua City Company (Jinhua Tobacco), with project number C202601BA2002122039224.
According to the tender notice, the project includes one tender package. The selected service provider will be responsible for integrating relevant data resources and providing analytical consulting services, with detailed requirements set out in the tender documents.
The announcement did not disclose specific data sources, monitoring channels or technical approaches involved in the service. It is therefore unclear whether the project includes monitoring of specific online platforms, artificial intelligence-based analysis or the development of dedicated technology systems.
CNY 2.7 million project to provide 36 months of services
The project is funded by Jinhua Tobacco’s own corporate funds, according to the tender notice.
Qualified bidders must obtain tender documents through the China Tobacco Electronic Procurement Platform and submit electronic bid documents before 2:30 p.m. on August 25, 2026.
The tender will be conducted through a remote online opening process. Bidders are required to upload encrypted electronic bid documents and participate through the electronic procurement platform.
The project does not allow consortium bids, and bidders must meet qualification requirements, including compliance records and the absence of certain legal violations.
External data services support e-cigarette-related market oversight
The procurement shows that local tobacco companies in China are seeking external professional services for data integration and analytical support related to e-cigarette-related violation leads.
As China continues to strengthen oversight of e-cigarette-related activities, services involving information collection, data analysis and lead assessment have become part of the supporting activities used by local tobacco companies.
However, the tender notice did not disclose the specific application scenarios, data coverage or follow-up procedures. Further details will depend on the final tender documents and procurement results.
