The Policy of Public Procurement Service Superior Product

The Public Procurement Service Superior Product Policy was introduced in 1996 to enhance the quality of procurement materials and is a policy that designates products with superior technology and quality among products produced by SMEs and mid-sized companies as excellent products through a strict evaluation. A company will supply products defined as superior to consuming organisations at each level by following the rule of government contract laws.

Basis of the superior product system

Superior products from the Public Procurement Service are designated and managed following Article 26 of the ‘Act on Procurement Business’, Article 30 of the Enforcement Decree of the same Act, and ‘Regulations on Designation and Management of Superior Procured Goods’ (Public Procurement Service Notice).
