 The Public Procurement Service (Public Procurement Service, Commissioner Lim Ki-geun)  will  hold  the ‘  2025 First Half National Market Mutual Growth Sale ‘ for five weeks  from  February 26 to  April 1 to support sales channels for  procurement  companies and provide  budget  -saving opportunities  for demand organizations .  

  The ‘ National Market Symbiotic Sale ‘ is an event  held twice a year, in the first and second half of the year  , where products from companies registered with the Public Procurement Service’s National Market comprehensive shopping mall that have expressed their intention to participate  are sold at  a discounted price to public institutions .

  Through the mutual sales event held  last year , procurement companies achieved  a total  of 58.9 billion won in sales , and the mutual sales event  is playing  a significant role in  increasing corporate sales . 

  This event  will  feature  617 companies showcasing 17,407 products , of  which 9,200 products ,  including  computers ,  televisions , and  furniture , will be available for purchase at discounted prices by  both the general public and companies .

The average discount rate    for participating products  is 10.1% , with products with a discount of between 5% and 10% accounting for the largest number at 9,894 (56.8%), and some products such as vehicle recognition devices   being sold at discounts of up  to 63.3% .

  They sell a variety of products, including office furniture such as work chairs and cabinets, electronic products, road and facility materials, and kitchen utensils. In particular,   computers , which are in high demand  at  schools , are sold at  an average  discount of 7.6%  and up  to 17.1% .

Discounted items  can be searched for from February 26th by accessing the ‘ Discount Events / Special  Exhibitions ’  section of  the comprehensive shopping mall (shopping.g2b.go.kr) .

  The Public Procurement Service  plans to set up a ‘ Sangsaeng Sale Mall ‘ within the comprehensive shopping mall so that many demand organizations and the public can easily make purchases , and  to allow them to check products with high discount rates first .  

  In addition, considering the needs of each customer,  a separate discount product guide ( online catalog ) for  public institutions and the general public will be produced and  distributed , and an event will also be held through social network services (SNS) to  increase interest in this event  and  encourage public participation . 

  In addition  , in conjunction with  the ‘ Korea Market Expo  2025 ‘  event held at KINTEX in Goyang-si, Gyeonggi-do from March 5th to  7th ,  a promotion booth for the Symbiotic  Sale will be  set up at the exhibition hall  to actively promote it to visitors. 

  Lim Ki-geun, the head of the Public Procurement Service, said, “I hope that this mutual benefit sale, which is being held in a situation where domestic demand is difficult due to rising prices and declining consumer sentiment,  will serve as an opportunity to stimulate domestic demand based on public purchasing power  and  inject  vitality into  our economy .”  

“I ask for your active participation so    that this event can provide public institutions and the public with an opportunity to purchase necessary items at low prices while supporting the expansion of sales channels for small and medium-sized businesses  ,” he said.

Meanwhile, the Public Procurement Service is accepting additional applications until March 21   for procurement companies that missed the application period during the previous recruitment period (January 13 to February 5)  .
