Government Procurement Figures for 2000 (CY)

1. Total Value and Number of Government Procurement Contracts

The total value for government procurements of goods and services for 2000 was 1.0431 trillion yen, a increase of 1.3% from the previous year, (Table 1-1).
Table 1-2 shows the trends, along with the past results reported to the Committee for Drawing Up and Promoting the Action Program to date.

2. Breakdown of Procurements by Type of Goods or Service, and by Contract Type (2000)

The ratios of competitive tendering contracts to single tendering contracts vary significantly according to whether the items procured were goods or services. In 2000 about 85% of the goods procured were obtained through open tendering procedures. In contrast, looking only at the service contracts, more than half of the procurements were with single tendering procedures, accounting for more than 70% of the spending on services procurements.

Table 2: Breakdown of procurements by types of goods and services, and by contract type

(Upper col.: Number of contracts, Lower col.: Value(100 mil. Yen))

10,431 7,051 171 3,209
(Note)Figures in parentheses: Ratio(%)

3. Trends in Procurement Breakdown by Type of Contract (5 year period)

The open tendering procedures continue to occupy a large portion of the total, in terms of numbers of contracts, as well as on value basis. (About 80% on a number of contract base, and about 70% on a value base).
On the other hand, the proportion of single tendering contracts has grown. In 2000, the level was about the same as 1999, which was the highest level since the investigations began.


4. Grounds for Selective Tendering Procedures

The contracts through selective tendering procedures are decreasing each year. In 2000 there were 68 of these contracts, which was less than 1% of the total number of contracts.
For the procurement of goods and services the method of selective tendering is confined to application to an extremely limited number of cases.

Total 261 177 68

5. Breakdown of Grounds for Single Tendering Procedures

Of the reasons listed in the 15th Article of the WTO Agreement on Government Procurement as the conditions of single tendering procedure, the ones most often cited for the adoption of single tendering procedures were that " in the absence of tenders in response to an open or selective tendering," " a change of supplier would harm compatibility with already existing products or equipment," and that " when, for works of art or for reasons connected with protection of exclusive rights such as patents or copyrights, the products can be supplied only by a particular supplier." As in 1998 and 1999, these reasons accounted for more than 90 percent of cases. (Table 5).

6. Ratio of Foreign Supplier's Awards

In 2000, 6.9% of the total spending on procurements was to foreign businesses, equivalent to 2.7% of the number of contracts. In comparison to 1999, the ratio of foreign supplier's awards increased both in value and the number of contracts.

8. Proportion of Foreign Goods and Services

The proportion of foreign goods and services obtained through government procurement in Japan has remained at about the same level for the past 3 years. In 2000, foreign goods and services accounted for 14.7% of the total procurement spending, and 19.6% of the total number of contracts. In addition, considering only the procurement of goods, foreign goods accounted for 17.4% of the spending, and 23.7% of the number of contracts.

10. Procurement Value by Product and Foreign Ratios

Table 10 shows breakdowns of Japanese government procurement by product category (value basis), which are then broken down into list of products with ratios for foreign made products.

The total value of procured products amounted to approximately 789.2 billion yen. The largest value for procured items included "office machines and automatic data processing equipment" (personal computers, typewriters, projection screens, etc.), "telecommunications and sound recording and reproducing apparatus and equipment"(TV, radio, radar, video, recorder, etc.) "scientific and controlling instruments and apparatus" (binoculars, thermometers, voltmeters, micrometers, etc.)".
These three categories accounted for about 57% of total procurement value.

The categories with the highest percentage of foreign products were "mineral products" (soil and rocks, crude heavy oil, metal ores, etc.) (approx. 91%),"aircraft and associated equipment" (airplanes, balloons, propellers, parachutes, simulators for aviation, etc.) (approx. 98%).

14. Utilization of Overall-Greatest-Value Evaluation Method (OGV)

The voluntary measures (Procedures for Government Procurement of Products [Operational Guidelines]) encourage the adoption of the Overall-Greatest-Value evaluation method(OGV) where the lowest-price-award method is deemed inadequate. In addition, in the areas of computer products and services, telecommunications products and services and medical technology products and services, with regard to high value items (see note), it is obligatory in the voluntary measures to apply the OGV.
In 2000, the OGV was adopted in 557 procurement contracts, representing a rise on the previous year to occupy 3.6% of total procurement. Of these contracts, 123 were awarded to foreign products and services.

(Note) For computer products and services, this includes all procurement above 800,000 SDRs. In the area of telecommunications products and services and medical technology products and services, until 31 March 1996, this included all procurement above 800,000 SDRs, from 1 April 1996 all procurement above 600,000 SDRs, from 1 April 1997 all procurement above 400,000 SDRs and from 1 April 1998 all procurement above 385,000 SDRs.

16. Average Period for the Receipt of Tenders

Under the current WTO Agreement on Government Procurement, the period for receiving tenders from the date of publication of the Notice of Invitation to Tender is set at a minimum of 40 days. However, as a voluntary measure, the Government of Japan's "Understanding on Government Procurement" issued in November 1991 stipulates that the period should be no less than 50 days. This measure has been in effect since 1 April 1992.
Looking at the average period for the receipt of tenders over the last five years shows that the period of 50 days or more has always been secured.

17. Government Procurement Seminars

In order to explain the planned procurement published in the official gazette (kanpo) in greater detail, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and each procurement entity sponsors government procurement seminars at the beginning of, or as early as possible in, the fiscal year. (The Ministry of Foreign Affairs sponsored a seminar on 22-23 April, 1999.)
