Osan-si, Excellence in Contract Review Work for 4 Consecutive Years

Selected as the Best Institution in Road Contract Review Operation Evaluation

Osan City announced on the 16th that it was selected as the Best Institution in the ‘2022 Contract Review Operation Evaluation’ conducted by Gyeonggi Province. With this award, Osan City has been recognized as an excellent institution for four consecutive years since 2020, which is the first among local governments in Gyeonggi Province, the city added.

The contract review system is a system in which public institutions review cost calculations, application of construction methods, and the appropriateness of designs before issuing projects to ensure efficient financial management.

Last year, Osan City conducted contract reviews for 220 cases of construction, services, and goods procurement, saving 1 billion KRW in the budget by changing construction methods suitable for site conditions and deleting unnecessary tasks. The city also shortened the contract review period by more than 50% compared to regulations, contributing to the prompt execution of the projects, it explained.

In addition, the city stated that it received favorable evaluations for producing and distributing the ‘Contract Review Manual and Casebook’ and sharing work know-how across all departments through related training.

Lee Gwon-jae, Mayor of Osan City, said, “We will continue to do our best to ensure that the city budget is efficiently executed through fair and rational contract reviews.”
