Sejong-si, Public-Private Partnership Delivery App New Operator Recruitment Announcement

Sejong City is publicly recruiting new businesses to participate in the public-private partnership delivery app service. The recruitment will be conducted until the 20th of this month.

According to Sejong City on the 6th, the public-private partnership delivery app project has been operating since 2021. Currently, four companies, including Meokkebi and Whiparam, are participating in the operation of the delivery apps. The agreement period for these companies will end at the end of this year.

Accordingly, Sejong City is recruiting new businesses that will maintain a privately-led operation method. In particular, starting next year, the brokerage fee, which was previously limited to within 2%, will be improved to allow companies to set it within 5%.

The conditions for participation in the project are companies that have currently established and are operating a delivery app system and have no issues with technical skills and customer response.

Sejong City plans to select one to two companies as new businesses by evaluating their business plans and other factors.

Additionally, Sejong’s public-private partnership delivery app will incorporate the local currency Yeominjeon payment system to support the external competitiveness of the delivery app operators, and plans to increase consumer usage by providing additional support such as promotion and discount coupons to the selected companies.

Businesses wishing to participate can refer to the announcement posted on the Sejong City website, prepare the application form and business plan, and submit the documents in person to the Small Business Division at City Hall.

Jang Won-ho, head of the Small Business Division of Sejong City, said, “We hope for the participation of many sound and stable private delivery app operators.”
