Public procurement
Preparation of KONEPS registration, public-bid and procurement-contract application documents
The Nara Jangteo Comprehensive Shopping Mall is not an open marketplace. Only goods under contract with the Public Procurement Service are listed there. Stage 1, bidding qualification registration, is finished in a few days, but Stage 2, item cataloging and the contract stage, takes longer. Many businesses think they are done once the company is registered, so check all the stages first.
Procedure
- Registration Difficulty Medium
The authority checks whether the statutory registration requirements, such as facilities, staff and capital, are met before issuing a registration certificate. Registration can be refused if the requirements are not met.

1. Register your bidding qualification
Prepare a general-purpose joint certificate (digital certificate) in the business's name and register as a procurement supplier with the business registration certificate, the certified copy of the corporate register and other documents. If you appoint a bidding agent, the agent's certificate is also required separately.
2. Select the detailed item name
Decide which detailed item name your product belongs to. For a product with no item name of its own, you have to find a close item name in the same family, and the classification changes your competitors and the required specifications.
3. Item cataloging
Obtain the detailed item name number and the item identification number on the basis of the specification sheet, test report and product specifications. This is the stage that takes the longest, and the contract can proceed only once you have an item identification number.
4. Direct production confirmation and contract preparation
For a product designated for competition among small and medium enterprises, a direct production confirmation certificate is required. If you aim for a Multiple Award Schedule (MAS) contract, check your delivery record and credit rating in advance.
5. Keep the registration certificate after approval
Once approval is given, print and keep the certificate of registration of qualification for participation in competitive bidding. If your business information changes, change the procurement registration information as well.
Required documents
- Application for registration of bidding eligibility (electronic application on KONEPS, Regulations on Registration of Bidding Eligibility in the Korea Online E-Procurement System, Article 13)
- Business registration certificate
- Certified copy of the corporate register (for a corporation), certificate of seal impression
- General-purpose joint certificate (digital certificate) in the business's name
- Permits and licenses by business type (services and construction), certificates of performance record
- Specification sheet, test report, product specification document (for item cataloging)
- Direct production confirmation certificate (for products designated for competition among small and medium enterprises)
Fees
The cost of issuing a general-purpose joint certificate and the cost of test reports arise separately. Our office fee starts from the amount shown above and may vary depending on whether only the company registration is handled or item cataloging and direct production confirmation are handled together; we will give you an exact quote after reviewing your documents.
Legal basis and review date
- Enforcement Rule of the Act on Contracts to Which the State Is a Party, Article 14
- Enforcement Rule of the Act on Contracts to Which the State Is a Party, Article 15
- Government Procurement Act, Article 13
- Act on Facilitation of Purchase of Small and Medium Enterprise-Manufactured Products and Support for Development of Their Markets, Article 9

Check these first
- A manufacturing structure with a high share of outsourcing is easily blocked at direct production confirmation, so check the production structure before you set a contract strategy.
