Ururu Inc. to Host Public Procurement Webinar for SMEs

## The Misconception That 'Public Tenders Are Only for Large Corporations'
Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are often hit directly by environmental changes such as price competition, market contraction, and external factors. While public tenders are gaining attention as a stable market unaffected by economic fluctuations, the misconception that they are 'only for large corporations' or that 'one won't be nominated without a track record' often hinders market entry, causing many companies to miss out on projects they could have won.

## SMEs Win 50% of National and 70% of Local Government Tenders
The public procurement market exceeds 27 trillion yen annually. SMEs win approximately 50% of orders from the national government and about 70% from local governments. Systems, such as the Law on Ensuring the Receipt of Orders from the Government by Small and Medium-sized Enterprises, have been institutionalized to encourage the expansion of order opportunities. Despite this, many companies still fail to take the first step due to the 'double wall' of not knowing the mechanisms and search procedures, and the belief that a lack of track record prevents nomination.

## Practical Demonstration: How to Find Projects and Win Bids in a 27 Trillion Yen Market
This seminar will organize the five reasons why SMEs should enter public procurement, illustrated with real examples. Furthermore, by actually operating 'NJSS'—which allows one-stop searching of over 2 million tender information items and historical award data accumulated since 2008—the session will demonstrate how to find projects suitable for one's own company and the key points for estimating bid prices based on past award data.
