Public Procurement

Direct production confirmation, factory registration, MAS contracts, and excellent-product designation for supplying public institutions.

Scope of support

Supplying a public institution in Korea requires bidder registration on KONEPS, the Public Procurement Service platform, and products reserved for competition among small and medium enterprises additionally require a direct production confirmation. That review examines your factory, production equipment, and staffing. Multiple Award Schedule contracts and excellent-product or innovative-product designations each run their own review. We identify which requirement is missing, then file on your behalf.

What to confirm first

Applicable requirements and supporting evidence vary with who is applying, the type of filing, and the current public notice. We therefore confirm the facts during the consultation, assess whether you meet the requirements as they stand today, and only then settle the document list. If you fall short, we tell you what to put in place first.

Review and process

The consultation confirms your objective and the facts. We then review the applicable requirements, the evidence to submit, and the sequence, and set them out for you. Where the requirements cannot be met right away, we present the available alternatives and the time each needs. Once you agree to proceed, we prepare and file on your behalf and keep you posted on progress.

01 Request: Provide contact details and the basic facts that need review.
02 Scope review: Confirm the objective, current status, materials, and prerequisites.
03 Engagement: Agree the work scope and responsibilities before engagement.
04 Progress: Receive updates for filing, follow-up requests, and results.
