We launched the testing version of the Digital Marketplace (DMP) site (announced in November 2023).

Published:

Today, on November 30, 2023, we released the software and service registration function for business operators of Digital Marketplace (hereinafter referred to as DMP) testing Site .

DMP is an initiative by public authorities that aims to speed up the procurement of SaaS's cloud software (Digital Agency) and diversify procurement destinations by the entry of various vendors.
Only business operators who register software and services on the DMP testing version site published this time will be users. To register software and services, authentication by gBizID Prime is required. Please obtain an account in advance.

*In the future, we plan to open a function for public authorities to search for registered software and services during fiscal 2023. (The timing will be announced later.)

1. Background of DMP Study

In Digital Agency, we aim to create an environment for the provision of user-centered services and the introduction of new technologies by public authorities and local government. To this end, it is important to review the public procurement process and eliminate the information asymmetry in the procurement market, and to build a mechanism for procurement in which public authorities and local government can more quickly procurement software and services and various service providers can enter.

From this perspective, Digital Agency is considering the introduction of DMP. In 2022, an open task force consisting of public authorities, IT vendors, experts, and others was held to discuss how DMP should be in the country. The recommendations based on the discussions were reported to the Digital Agency Information Systems procurement Reform Study Meeting, and on March 10, 2023, the final report was compiled along with the direction of future DMP studies. Based on these, in fiscal 2023, we are constructing a DMP testing site as a demonstration.

2. How DMPs Work and Their Expected Effects

When you participate in procurement using DMP, you need to register the software and services provided by the software company and the sales company in the DMP Digital Agency version site in advance based on the basic contract with testing. In procurement using DMP, we aim to search and narrow down according to the content that public authorities wants to procurement, and based on the results, public authorities and local government can make individual contracts.

The introduction of DMP is expected to have the following effects on business operators participating in public authorities and procurement.

  • Public authorities
    • It is possible to easily find a better service by searching registered software and services according to the purpose.
    • Procurement of cloud software enables rapid software utilization.
  • Operator
    • By registering software and services, a wide range of public authorities can be discovered, and it is easier to reach public authorities with low operating costs.
    • The simplification of the procurement process will allow a diverse range of vendors, including SMEs and start-ups, fair access to the public procurement market.

3. procurement target assumed by DMP

DMP assumes that cloud software (SaaS) and the services of a sales company that supports the introduction of cloud software will be targeted for procurement. Services, etc. accompanying software and hardware provided by Trustee development are not assumed to be targeted for procurement.

4. About the DMP testing site this time

The purpose of the DMP testing site is to demonstrate the user experience necessary for public authorities and business operators to realize environments that are easy to use the procurement method by DMP. In addition, the purpose is to validation operability and functionality, etc., and to clarify Issue and improvement details for the actual operation of the DMP official site by having business operators register software and services and having public authorities employees and the general public conduct service searches.
Based on the demonstration through the DMP testing site in fiscal 2023, we aim to release the official DMP site in the second half of fiscal 2024 or later. We would like to ask business operators and public authorities people to actively participate in realizing this.
