On the 9th, the Korea Teachers' Credit Union signed a three-party business agreement with the Korea Disabled People's Development Institute and the National Association of Sales Facilities for Products Made by Persons with Disabilities to promote public purchasing of products made by persons with severe disabilities.
The agreement was signed immediately following the opening ceremony of the 2025 Severely Disabled Products Expo, held at the aT Center in Yangjae-dong, Seoul. This collaboration aims to support the entry of products manufactured by people with disabilities into the public market through the School-to-Business (S2B) e-procurement system and establish a foundation for sustainable procurement.
Through this agreement, the three organizations plan to establish a cooperative system for implementing the public institution's priority purchasing system, including ▲registering S2B suppliers for production facilities for products made by people with disabilities, ▲strengthening education and promotion for S2B users, and ▲supporting management of public procurement performance.
The Korea Teachers Credit Union expects that this agreement will serve as an opportunity for the S2B platform to support the independence of people with severe disabilities and to contribute to the spread of an ethical consumption culture in public institutions.
The Korea Teachers Credit Union previously signed an agreement to promote the use of S2B with 17 provincial and metropolitan offices of education and 14 education support offices across the country, and in 2023, it will officially open the 'Local Contract Platform S2B' for local governments, expanding its scope of use in the public procurement sector.
