[Asia Economy (Daejeon) Reporter Jeong Il-woong] The Public Procurement Service announced on the 25th that it will extend and maintain the deadline for the 'COVID-19 Spread Prevention Work Guidelines' from the original end of this month to the end of this year.


With the extension of the work guidelines deadline, major procurement tasks such as fingerprint registration bidding, contract review, and evaluation will be postponed or conducted in a non-face-to-face manner until the end of the year.


Previously, the Public Procurement Service established and applied the work guidelines on February 27 of last year to prevent the spread of COVID-19 infection and reduce the burden on procurement companies.



Lee Sang-yoon, Director of Planning and Coordination at the Public Procurement Service, said, "We will continue to discover procurement tasks that can be conducted non-face-to-face and online to support the convenience of procurement tasks for industries struggling due to COVID-19."
