Gwangju Buk-gu Develops 'Contract System Innovation Plan'... Implements 7 Innovation Tasks

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Yukbong] Buk-gu, Gwangju Metropolitan City (District Mayor Moon In) announced on the 17th that it will actively implement the 'Contract System Innovation Plan' from this month to enhance the efficiency and transparency of contract work.

As part of the innovation plan, Buk-gu has established seven innovation tasks: ▲limiting the number of private contracts ▲expanding unit price contracts ▲resident participation supervision system ▲disclosure of contract information ▲shortening processing periods and online submission of contract documents ▲management of restricted bidders and contractors ▲mentoring system for contract officers.

First, to prevent repetitive contracts with the same company and to expand contract participation opportunities for multiple companies, the district will limit the number of private contracts over 10 million won to four times per year.

For annually recurring projects such as various bill productions and road facility management, annual unit price contracts will be signed to reduce the budget and eliminate the inconvenience of having to make contracts frequently.

In particular, for construction projects over 30 million won that are closely related to residents' lives, the resident participation supervision system will be activated to reflect residents' opinions, and the scope of contract information disclosure will be expanded from the existing 10 million won threshold to all contracts regardless of amount, thereby increasing transparency.

Additionally, by shortening processing periods for tasks such as qualification reviews and payment, regularly updating the list of restricted bidders and contractors, and providing capacity-building education for contract officers in each department, the district plans to offer convenience to civil petitioners and strengthen the substance of contract work.

District Mayor Moon In said, “We will actively promote this innovation plan to ensure more transparent and fair contracts,” and added, “We will continue to uphold integrity as the foundation of administration and carry out district governance trusted by residents.”
