After a one-year break, the Japan Tax & Public Procurement (JTPP) Helpdesk is restarting its digest service with a weekly selection of Japanese public sector tenders. The digest provides concrete business opportunities that are also open to EU suppliers, covering a broad range of sectors.

The digest consists primarily of tender opportunities offered by national and regional government organizations, which are regulated by the Agreements on Government Procurement (GPAs) by the World Trade Organization (WTO) and published on the Japan Overseas Trade Organization (JETRO) procurement pages. Additionally, it also contains tender opportunities that are offered by organizations and sectors covered by the EU-Japan Economic Partnership Agreement (EPA).

The digests provide additional information not found on the JETRO website, such as direct links to further details. Whenever accessible online, the digest links directly to tender specifications and provides information about assessment methods, as well as deadlines for expressions of interests, which are usually not included in English-language announcements.

Enterprises, trade promotion organizations, and other non-profit intermediary organizations headquartered in EU Member States, or participating in the COSME program, are eligible for the digest services. To sign up for the Weekly Digest of Public Sector Tenders.
