Osan City Receives 'Highest Honors' for Gyeonggi Province Contract Review Operations Evaluation…Seventh Consecutive Year

[Suwon Ilbo=Reporter Kim Gap-dong] Osan City announced on the 10th that it received the highest honors award in the 'Gyeonggi Province Municipal/County Contract Review Operations Evaluation for 2026', marking its seventh consecutive year of receiving the award.

This evaluation was conducted by Gyeonggi Province selecting excellent institutions through comprehensive assessment of contract review operations, review expertise, and policy improvement efforts from cities and counties across the province.

Contract review is a system that examines the appropriateness of cost calculations and design costs before the conclusion of contracts for construction, services, and goods purchases issued by local governments. It is operated to prevent budget waste and enhance transparency and efficiency of contracts.

Osan City strengthened preliminary contract reviews for major projects last year and promoted cost reviews reflecting on-site conditions. In particular, excessively calculated design costs were reasonably adjusted while maintaining necessary processes and quality standards. The city received recognition for simultaneously reducing budgets and enhancing project completion through balanced reviews.

Moving forward, the city plans to continuously strengthen its contract review capabilities and expand preliminary reviews and field-centered reviews for major fiscal projects to reduce budget waste and establish a sound fiscal management system.
