"No unit or individual is allowed to prevent or restrict qualified material suppliers from taking part in procurement activities," an earlier report from the Beijing-based Legal Daily said.

The unidentified PLA officer said the procurement system has computer-based records to increase transparency.

A procurement network is being established by the PLA General Logistics Department that will allow the military to publish plans, inquire about relevant information and invite public bids, the PLA Daily reported.

The money saved over the past three and a half years has relieved financial strain on the PLA and transparency in the work can help stop corruption in the army, the officer said. According to him, the PLA is now working with the National People's Congress, China's top legislature, to draft a military procurement law.
