Coverage
What Tender Radar collects from JETRO
- English-language Japanese government procurement notices from JETRO's database, refreshed regularly
- Award/contract-result notices are deliberately excluded — open tenders, RFIs and planning notices only
- No classification code or estimated value is collected
- Tender documents, and the Japanese-language original notice, aren't fetched — only the English summary
- The portal's own search and alerts aren't matched to your company's capabilities — that layer is what Tender Radar adds.
