Who may apply: local-registration conditions

Eligibility clauses that admit only locally registered applicants: the screen, its hand check (56/60) and the rates by level.

25 October 2026. manage.py eligibility_scan (read-only) runs crawl/procurement_signals.restrictions over the 45,554 documents the site counts and keeps restrictions found inside an eligibility clause (申报条件, 支持对象, 资格要求, 投标人须 …). Output: reports/data/eligibility.csv (one row per document and type, with the clause) and reports/eligibility.json (counts and rates, read by the Insights card "Who may apply", Compliance view).

Hand check (local registration or establishment)

Three random samples of 30 hits each, read in full clause context:

3, new named-place pattern (在武汉市行政区域内注册)28/30two government-reorganisation clauses (要求我省成立相应机构), now excluded

Samples 2 and 3 give the precision quoted on the card: 56/60 (93%). A vehicle that must be registered locally to earn a subsidy counts as a local condition.

Recall is not measured. Before the named-place pattern, the screen missed about 200 documents that name the place instead of saying 本市. Clauses in unread attachments are still missed, so the shares are lower bounds.

Results (rates among 4,681 non-tender documents with an eligibility section, 2021–26)

By province (added 26 October 2026)

eligibility_scan now also writes, for local-registration conditions, the share of held 2021–26 programme documents by the issuer's province (rates.local_presence.by_province_2021_26). The site shows these figures on a tile map with every clause: /provinces/who-may-apply/. The highest shares with at least 30 programmes held are Shanghai (96 of 620, 15%, 95% interval 13–19%), Beijing (13 of 100, 13%) and Sichuan (37 of 451, 8.2%). Guangdong, Chongqing, Guangxi, Shanxi and Tibet show none.

Each figure is a share of the programmes we hold, which depends on what was collected. For example, Shanghai's portal crawl includes many 专项资金申报指南 (special-fund application guidelines), which are the documents that state eligibility. Read the figures as "in the held programmes", not as a ranking of provinces' openness.
