Coverage
What Tender Radar collects from p-portal
- Japanese central-government procurement notices from p-portal, refreshed regularly
- Award and single-source notices are deliberately excluded — open and planned procedures only
- No estimated contract value is ever available at source
- Tender documents sit behind a separate government supplier-registration system and aren't fetched
- The portal's own search and alerts aren't matched to your company's capabilities — that layer is what Tender Radar adds.
