[Asia Economy Reporter Park Sun-mi] Samsung Electronics will hold an additional public bidding for catering companies at 28 in-house cafeterias.

On the 21st, Samsung Electronics announced a competitive bidding for 28 in-house cafeterias. Last year, Samsung Electronics opened 8 in-house cafeterias to external companies, and once the selection of catering companies for 28 in-house cafeterias is completed this year, all 36 in-house cafeterias across 8 domestic business sites will be operated through competitive bidding.

Samsung Electronics gradually opened its in-house cafeterias through two rounds of competitive bidding last year to provide employees with various menus and services from multiple catering companies. In particular, for the 6 cafeterias selected in the second half of the year, the bidding was conducted targeting small and medium-sized catering companies.

This time, applications for bidding for 28 cafeterias at 8 business sites including Suwon, Giheung, and Hwaseong will be accepted until March 31, and evaluations for each cafeteria will be conducted in the first and second half of the year. Any catering company that meets participation conditions such as operational stability and hygiene safety can participate.

A Samsung Electronics official stated, "For each cafeteria, the new operating company will be decided through document screening, on-site inspection, menu presentation, and employee participation tasting sessions," adding, "Samsung Electronics, having fulfilled its promise to open group catering externally, plans to continuously strive for mutual growth in various fields."
