01
Confirm the registration category and qualifications: Choose among construction, goods (manufacturing or purchasing) and services and select the detailed item name, then obtain the licenses, registrations or reports required for that business first. Products you make yourself are registered as manufacturing and products you buy and supply as purchasing; an incorrect category can lead to rejection.
02
Prepare the certificate and basic documents: Obtain a general-purpose joint certificate in the business's name, and register a separate certificate for any bidding agent. The corporate register and business registration are checked through administrative information sharing; if you do not consent, attach copies.
03
Apply for bidding qualification registration on Nara Marketplace: Submit the application with proof of permits, and for goods manufacturing registration also submit a certified copy of the factory register or a document confirming direct production. Once approved, print and keep the competitive bidding qualification registration certificate, and file a change registration whenever the trade name, representative or address changes.
04
Direct production confirmation and product cataloguing: Supplying products designated for competition among SMEs requires a direct production confirmation certificate with a stated validity period, and you must reapply if the confirmed factory moves or the representative of a sole proprietorship changes. To be listed on the online shopping mall, obtain a product identification number using specifications and test reports, then go through contract procedures such as a multiple award schedule (MAS) contract.
05
Check qualifications for each announcement and submit bids: Review the regional restrictions, required business types, track record or construction capacity criteria, and the reference date for bonus certifications in the announcement, make sure the business type and address registered on Nara Marketplace match the requirements, and submit the electronic bid before the deadline.
06
Objections and sanction responses: If you disagree with the result of an objection, you may request a review by the National Contract Dispute Mediation Committee within 30 days of receiving the notice. On receiving an advance notice of bidding qualification restriction, submit a written opinion within the deadline explaining the circumstances, the absence of intent and the measures taken to prevent recurrence.
