The Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry has revised the rules regarding bidding and consignment in response to the fact that it was pointed out that it was unclear how the contractor was selected in the business of sustainable benefits for the new coronavirus.

Regarding sustainability benefits, it has been pointed out that it is unclear how the General Incorporated Association "Service Design Engineering Council" was entrusted with the business and re-entrusted many operations to the major advertising company "Dentsu". I did.



In response, the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry has revised the rules for bidding and consignment of large-scale projects and urgent projects.



The new rules include not allowing easy subcontracting solely because of close relationships with group companies, and requiring that if the subcontracting rate exceeds 50%, clarify the reason. I have.



In addition, in order to ensure transparency, we will oblige the creation and preservation of records when contacting the business operator before the announcement of bids, and will publish the scoring results and evaluation comments of all bidders regarding the examination results. I will.



The Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry has a policy of applying this rule from bidding and consignment projects that will be held in the future, saying, "We want to ensure fairness and transparency and operate without doubt."
