K-Public Procurement Assisting in Modernizing

Public Procurement in the Philippines

- Through a bilateral talk, PPS and the PH Gov’t agreed to expand cooperation on sharing K-Public Procurement experience with the Philippines

- Support for Korean suppliers with broader sales channels and tuberculosis eradication in the Philippines through PPS’ overseas demonstration project involving government-designated Innovative Products

Innovative Products designated by the Korean government are being utilized in the Philippines' fight against tuberculosis.

On May 28, the Public Procurement Service of Korea and the Philippine government held a bilateral meeting in Manila, reinforcing cooperation in public procurement, including expanding the overseas demonstration of government-designated Innovative Products and improving public services through the Official Development Assistance (ODA) program.

This visit led by PPS Administrator Lim Ki Keun follows the MOU signed last year between PPS and the Philippines’ Department of Budget and Management(DBM), aiming to facilitate procurement cooperation and market access.

PPS announced the establishment of a triangular cooperation system with Korea (PPS), the Philippines (Department of Budget and Management), and ADB to share Korea’s procurement infrastructure experience through a workshop on procurement systems and a capacity-building program.

It also announced a plan to expand the demonstration of Innovative Products recognized for their technology and innovation for broadening market access for Korean companies in the Philippines.

The overseas demonstration project, funded by PPS, provides opportunities for innovative companies to showcase their products to foreign public institutions, supporting market entry while helping recipient countries address social issues.

Currently, the portable X-ray device, a government-designated Innovative Product, is being used in the Philippines to combat tuberculosis, improving public services and creating market opportunities for Korean companies.

PPS Administrator Lim Ki Keun stated, "Korea and the Philippines have been long-standing friends, mutually benefiting each other by sharing procurement infrastructure experience. We will continue to expand cooperation, raising awareness of our public procurement infrastructure and enhancing market opportunities for our companies in Asia."
