## What is Comprehensive Public Facility Management?
In recent years, the aging of public facilities has progressed in municipalities nationwide, increasing the importance of maintenance and management. In addition, factors such as declining tax revenues due to population decline, changes in facility demand, and a shortage of technicians are making it difficult to operate efficiently and stably under the traditional individual and decentralized facility management systems.
Against this backdrop, 'Comprehensive Public Facility Management', which manages multiple facilities collectively, is gaining attention and widespread adoption as a method to balance facility management efficiency and quality improvement. Comprehensive Public Facility Management bundles daily operations like maintenance inspections and repairs of public facilities owned by local governments into a single operation, comprehensively outsourcing fulfillment confirmation, management, and supplementary projects to private operators.
While it is common to group facilities managed by various departments, this contract specifically targets school facilities.
In Shibuya Ward, a transition to a planned management system emphasizing preventive maintenance became an urgent issue due to the aging of school facilities and the anticipated extension of existing school building usage following a review of rebuilding plans.
To address these administrative issues, improve school facility maintenance standards, and ensure a stable educational environment, the ward decided to introduce 'Comprehensive Public Facility Management'. A public proposal was conducted from December 2025 to March 2026.
As a result of presentations and hearings from six operators, Nippon Kanzai scored 365.0 points (out of a perfect 450) and was selected as the contract candidate. Discussions with Shibuya Ward will proceed from April 1, 2026, with maintenance and inspection operations scheduled to begin on April 1, 2027.
Through the comprehensive management of public facilities, Nippon Kanzai aims to support Shibuya Ward's goal of 'improving school facility maintenance standards and ensuring a stable educational environment'.
