Minamikyushu City has launched a request for proposals (RFP) to select a contractor for developing its '3rd Comprehensive Plan,' which will serve as the guiding strategy for municipal operations from 2028.

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.

Currently, the city is advancing policies in various sectors based on the '2nd Minamikyushu City Comprehensive Plan/Late Basic Plan.' As this plan expires in fiscal year 2027, the city is initiating the development of the '3rd Minamikyushu City Comprehensive Plan,' which will serve as a new guiding strategy for municipal operations from fiscal year 2028 onwards.

The comprehensive plan is a vital document that defines the city's future vision and direction for urban development. 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).

We encourage interested parties to participate and submit proposals that will contribute to the urban development of Minamikyushu City.
