Suncheon City to Select Next Year's Household Waste Disposal Contractor Through Open Competitive Bidding

Will Proceed Based on Fairness, Transparency, and Budget Reduction Principles

[Suncheon=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Hyung-kwon] Suncheon City, Jeollanam-do (Mayor Heo Seok) announced on the 6th that it will change the selection method for next year's household waste collection and transportation contractors from private contracts to competitive bidding.

Until now, the city has signed contracts in the form of private contracts with four household waste collection and transportation contractors. However, on January 15, at the Suncheon City waste policy briefing, Mayor Heo Seok announced that to induce competition by expanding the number of bidding participants and to improve efficiency and service levels, a public competitive bidding system would be introduced.

Accordingly, the city plans to announce the bidding for next year's household waste collection and transportation service contracts in November and select cleaning contractors in December.

In the public competitive bidding, not only the existing four companies but also newly licensed companies authorized for household waste collection and transportation can participate.

The household waste collection and transportation business requires companies to secure vehicles and offices of a certain scale according to the Waste Management Act standards to be eligible to apply, and to submit a business plan in advance according to the same law for the permit application.

Furthermore, the final successful bidder must secure the vehicles and personnel necessary to perform the cleaning service before signing the contract.

The city expects that, with fair competition among companies including newly licensed ones besides the existing four, the cleaning administrative service will improve and contribute to creating a cleaner living environment in Suncheon City.
