Latest Japan Tenders

Japan Tenders and Government Procurement

Japan is a party to the WTO Government Procurement Agreement, so larger contracts by central government and many public bodies are open to foreign suppliers. National government procurement information is published through the government procurement portal (調達ポータル), and independent administrative agencies, national universities and local governments also publish on their own sites. Notices are mainly in Japanese, with English summaries for some covered tenders.

Right now Tender Impulse lists 503 open Japan tenders, shown below. We recorded more than 13,000 Japan notices in the past twelve months, and our archive holds more than 120,000. In the last week alone, 221 new notices arrived.

By sector, the largest groups among open Japan tenders are IT-Software (99), Healthcare & Medical (77), Energy (69), Infrastructure and construction (42), Laboratory & Scientific Instruments (26) and Management Consultancy (26).
