Mapo-gu (District Mayor Park Kangsoo) held a kick-off briefing session for the "Establishment of Standard Manual for Transparent and Efficient Bidding Operations in Mapo-gu" at 4:00 p.m. on May 12 in the main conference room on the 8th floor of Mapo-gu Office.
This briefing session was organized to share the direction, schedule, and details of the project prior to the commencement of the service for establishing a standard manual for bidding operations.
The kick-off meeting was attended by the project manager and researchers from the service provider, as well as Park Kangsoo, Mayor of Mapo-gu, Oh Kyunghee, Deputy Mayor, department directors, and other key officials involved in bidding operations.
Currently, Mapo-gu is conducting various types of contracts, including construction, services, and goods. However, the lack of consistent standards or practical guidelines has led to difficulties in the bidding process.
Accordingly, this project will mainly focus on analyzing the current status of bidding contracts in Mapo-gu to review areas for improvement, preparing pre-checklists applicable to construction stages such as architecture and civil engineering, and developing standard templates for task instructions.
After the manual is established, the district plans to enhance professionalism and consistency in operations by providing training to all employees.
Park Kangsoo, Mayor of Mapo-gu, stated, "Based on the principle that small amounts should be saved and large amounts should not be spared, transparency and systematic management at the bidding stage are essential. Through this project, we hope to enhance the professionalism and consistency of bidding operations and promote even more transparent and efficient public contracts."
To strengthen the professionalism and transparency of bidding operations, Mapo-gu implemented its third organizational restructuring of the 8th popularly elected administration in January 2025 and established a new "Bidding Team."
