Introduction of Public Procurement Service
The Public Procurement Service (PPS) is the
central procurement agency of the Republic of Korea. PPS domestically and
internationally purchases goods and services on behalf of Korean public
organizations. PPS is also in charge of contracts and management with regard to
facility constructions ordered in the public sector such as government offices,
roads, and schools.
Launching the Korea ON-line E-Procurement
System (KONEPS) in September 2002 contributes to raising the level of efficiency
and transparency in the public procurement arena. The entire procurement
procedures are implemented via KONEPS as a single window for Korean public
procurement from tender notice and awarding to payment.
From its establishment through 2017, approximately 52,000 public
organizations and 373,000 suppliers were using KONEPS recording 79 billion
dollars in its annual transaction volume. As of now, the innovative online
procurement system has been exported to seven countries : Vietnam, Costa Rica,
Mongolia, Tunisia, Rwanda, Cameroon and Jordan.
PPS supports the small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with
excellent technologies and high-quality products to find their ways towards
more business opportunities through designation of G-PASS (Government Performance
ASSured) Companies. The
designation system was devised to acquire high-quality procured goods and
services and assist SMEs and ventures in obtaining more business opportunities,
in particular for those having difficulties of advancing into the overseas
markets.
The sixteen firms, described in this volume, have keen interest in
the Myanmar and the Cambodia markets and are all chosen in the Korean
government procurement market. PPS firmly believes that the publication of this
volume will lay the foundation to vitalize economic exchanges among Korea,
Myanmar and Cambodia.
