Minamikyushu City, located in the southern part of Kagoshima Prefecture, is blessed with abundant natural environments, history, culture, and regional resources such as the nationally renowned 'Chiran Tea.' Leveraging these resources, the city is promoting sustainable urban development together with its citizens.

Amidst significant social changes such as population decline, an aging society, shifting regional economic conditions, disaster preparedness, and advancements in digitalization, it is essential to accurately grasp local conditions and challenges, with citizen participation, to organize necessary future policies for the city to remain vibrant.
To ensure the selection of the most suitable contractor with specialized knowledge and extensive experience, the city is conducting a public-type request for proposals (RFP).
