Pyeongtaek Port Authority Exceeds Public Procurement Target Last Year

Gyeonggi Pyeongtaek Port Authority exceeded its public procurement targets.

On the 21st, Pyeongtaek Port Authority announced that it surpassed the public procurement target ratios managed by various government ministries last year, including the Ministry of Employment and Labor, the Ministry of Economy and Finance, the Ministry of Health and Welfare, the Ministry of SMEs and Startups, and the Ministry of Environment.

The public procurement target is a system under the "Act on the Promotion of Purchase of Small and Medium Enterprise Products and Support for Sales Channels," which requires public institutions to purchase a certain percentage of their total procurement amount from prioritized purchasing companies to expand sales channels for SMEs and strengthen regional bases, thereby creating social value.

This aligns with Gyeonggi Province’s vision of supporting the growth of small, startup, and innovative companies through "More Opportunities," supporting the independence of persons with disabilities through "Fairer Opportunities," and pursuing social value through "Better Opportunities."

He added, "We will continue to do our best to realize public interest and revitalize the regional economy."
