How to Register for Procurement on Nara Jangteo — Bidding Qualification Registration, Item Cataloging, and MAS Requirements

Procedure

1. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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.

Fees

The cost of issuing a general-purpose joint certificate and the cost of test reports arise separately. Agency fees in the industry start from around several hundred thousand won and vary depending on whether only the company registration is handled or item cataloging and direct production confirmation are handled together.

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.
