The Gyeonggi-do IT Association Council held a rally on the 12th at the north gate of the Gyeonggi-do Council, Docheong-ro, Yeongtong-gu, Suwon-si, Gyeonggi-do, and urged to maintain the existing MAS system. This is a response to the Gyeonggi-do Office of Education’s attempt to change the contract method for the ‘school smart terminal supply project’ to a ‘bidding method by negotiation’.
The association argues that if the distribution project is changed to a multi-supplier contract method, contracts will be concentrated with large companies, making it impossible for local SMEs to participate in the project. Through a statement from the site, the council said스포츠토토, “Currently, the livelihood and employment of 1,200 executives and employees of small and medium-sized IT companies in Gyeonggi – do are like a flashlight.”
“What is the reason for the Gyeonggi Provincial Council to exclude small and medium-sized businesses and choose the ‘bidding by negotiation’ method, a bidding method in which only large companies can participate?” If there is corruption, etc., we will dig out the truth until the end.” The MAS
method proposed by the council is a bidding method conducted by public institutions through national marketplaces. When a product meets the specifications, a comprehensive evaluation of the appropriateness of the proposal, quality inspection, preference, and contract execution performance is conducted, and the company with the highest score is selected and contracted. On the other hand, ‘Contract by Negotiation’ is a system that evaluates proposals submitted by multiple suppliers and contracts with the one recognized as the most beneficial to the country.
In this regard, the council said, “As for the bidding method by negotiation, 7 out of 9 tablet makers, excluding 2 large companies, are practically impossible to participate in the business itself.” did.
Finally, the council asked the Gyeonggi Provincial Office of Education and the Gyeonggi Provincial Assembly to join in the win-win cooperation. They said, “The Gyeonggi Provincial Office of Education has been implementing a smart device distribution project for the past few years, and has supported SMEs and large companies to compete fairly through the MAS 2 stage, and has accelerated the completion of the supply project.” We earnestly ask for openness and win-win cooperation.” He added, “Our council participants, the Gyeonggi-do IT Council and the delegation of suppliers such as smart devices and charging boxes, will focus on maintenance and minimization of on-site inconvenience for various product groups to be supplied through the project for 5 years.”
More than 50 key officials from 30 companies, including Forma Digital, A-Tech, Uniwide, iBrit.com, Smart Access, and Unicom, attended the rally. The Gyeonggi Provincial Office of Education did not disclose a separate position on the rally.
