[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Seon-gang] Buk-gu, Gwangju Metropolitan City (District Mayor Moon In) announced on the 1st that it is promoting the ‘2020 Public Institution Priority Purchase Disclosure System’ for social economy enterprises struggling due to COVID-19.

The ‘Public Institution Priority Purchase Disclosure System’ is a system that supports expanding sales channels and enhancing self-sustainability by giving priority purchase to goods or service contracts from social economy enterprises.

Buk-gu achieved a purchase performance of 1.443 billion KRW, which is 173% of the purchase target amount of 833 million KRW set last year.

This year, the target amount is set at 894 million KRW, an increase of 61 million KRW from the previous year, and priority purchases will be conducted accordingly.

Accordingly, Buk-gu continuously informs purchasing officers in all departments about the necessity of public procurement and products and services of social economy enterprises to increase the purchase rate.

In addition, Buk-gu strengthens the management system for achieving targets by receiving monthly purchase performance reports from each department and focuses on establishing a growth foundation for social economy enterprises by applying priority purchases even to the private consignment sector.

Moon In, Mayor of Buk-gu, said, “We will actively promote the Public Institution Priority Purchase Disclosure System to help the management of social economy enterprises and local small business owners who are experiencing difficulties such as decreased sales due to COVID-19.”
