What is MAS?
As criticisms of the existing lowest price single bidder selection method persistently pointed out the lack of diversity and quality degradation issues, a system that selects multiple suppliers, induces fair pricing and quality competition, and enhances the choice of demand agencies has been introduced. This system is suitable for the era of e-commerce, driven by the advancement of information and communication technology and the spread of the Internet. It is already widely used in countries such as the United States and Canada.

The Public Procurement Service conducts its price investigation and sets the standard price for negotiation.
-
The price is negotiated based on the researched and set price. However, it is difficult to negotiate a cost due to price fixing or dumping. In that case, a price council will be held in which external members participate; then, the final price will be decided.
-
Once price negotiations are established, contracts are concluded with multiple suppliers for each item.
ex) 10-pyeong air purifier contract; L Company: 300,000 won, D company: 320,000 won -
