Public Procurement Service Improves Evaluation Criteria for Alternative Proposal Bidding System

[Asia Economy (Daejeon) Reporter Jeong Il-woong] The Public Procurement Service (PPS) is improving the evaluation criteria for the pilot project of the alternative proposal bidding system. The alternative proposal bidding system is being piloted to incorporate and introduce creative construction methods proposed by bidders into general construction sites.

According to the PPS on the 15th, the improvement plan changes the target for preparing alternative proposals from all bidders to only the candidates who pass the first stage of evaluation (second stage evaluation candidates), and allows the ordering agency to select evaluation items according to the characteristics of each construction project.

This is significant in that it reduces the burden on bidders to prepare alternative proposals and enables ordering agencies to select winning bidders tailored to each project.

Previously, the PPS prepared the improvement plan through internal review and feedback from companies during the first pilot project contracted in May, the "National Road No. 42 Hoengseong Anheung~Bangnim1 Road Construction Project."

Kim Jeong-woo, Administrator of the PPS, said, "With the improvement plan, we expect that the advantages of technical bidding applying construction companies' technical methods can be reflected even in general construction projects," adding, "This will reduce the bidding burden on bidders and increase satisfaction for ordering agencies."

He also added, "The PPS will continue to actively strive to create a rational and market-friendly contracting system."
