## Summary

The procurement process for the "Japan Regional Outreach Project - Creating Outreach Representatives in Fukuoka and Nagoya" is initiated by the Foreign & Commonwealth Office, a governmental body based in London, England. This project aims to enhance commercial outreach in Japanese cities beyond the major metropolitan areas of Tokyo and Osaka. The procurement is currently at the award stage, with the tender published on 23rd April 2017 and a contract period commencing from 1st June 2017 to 31st March 2018. The procurement method is an open procedure, allowing broad participation, and concerns research consultancy services, classified under CPV code 73210000. The tender period closed on 12th May 2017.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses looking to expand operations within the Japanese market, particularly those focused on research consultancy services and international business development. Companies adept at establishing networks and navigating regional market dynamics will find this venture ideal, especially those with prior experience in outreach and consultancy roles in diverse geographical contexts. As this initiative seeks to establish a presence in lesser-known cities, businesses can leverage this opportunity to create valuable connections and gain a competitive edge in untapped markets.

## Notice

Extend our reach beyond Tokyo and Osaka to identify and unlock new commercial opportunities in second-tier cities and their hinterlands. Until October 2016 we had no presence outside the country's two largest cities, in contrast to our main competitors and the UK's larger networks in the US, China, Germany and France. Having contracted agents in Nagoya and Fukuoka,, based on the proven outreach model in China, has enabled us to start exploring the possibility for exploiting a much fuller range of commercial opportunities. We need to continue the pilots in these two cities as well as explore the possibilities in further cities
