If there are multiple parties with the same total score at the 10th position, all such parties will be selected. If the number of parties meeting the competitive bidding qualifications is less than 10, no evaluation will be conducted for selecting Selected Parties, and all parties meeting the competitive bidding qualifications will be selected.
