The Public Procurement Service has introduced a scoring system that reflects the results of post-evaluation of design services into the public housing design competition system starting from the 7th. This new system is expected to strengthen the incentive mechanism for improving design quality and preventing defects.
The new system applies the results of post-evaluation of design services performed by the winners of design competitions as a bonus or penalty factor in evaluating subsequent design competitions. Companies that receive an excellent rating in the post-evaluation can receive up to 1.2 points, and those with a satisfactory rating receive 0.6 points. Conversely, companies with a poor rating lose 1.2 points, and those with an unsatisfactory rating lose 0.6 points.
Of the 35 design services completed since 2023, 18 received unsatisfactory ratings and 17 received poor ratings, while none received an excellent rating. This indicates the need to strengthen quality control of public design in the future.
Kwon Hyuk-jae, head of the Facility Business Bureau, said, “This measure aims to ensure the quality of public housing, and we will continue to respond strongly to defective designs such as missing rebar.”
The Public Procurement Service plans to raise the qualitative level of design competitions and induce competitive differentiation among companies based on their performance capabilities through the implementation of this system.
