Study Group on Restrictions on Bidding in Digital Agency

In Digital Agency, in order to promote the employment of specialization-based recuruitment, it is necessary to clarify the rules on how to restrict bidding for public private sector so that, for example, there will be no conflict of interest in the relationship between employees from procurement and companies where they are concurrently employed. In addition, in light of new development needs such as the system development of agile type, it is necessary to consider how to make a flexible procurement system. In light of these Issue, the Study Group on Bidding Restrictions was established on June 2, 2021, and discussions were held toward the establishment of Digital Agency.

Purpose of Establishment of the Study Group

In Digital Agency, in order to rapidly promote the formation of a society (a human-friendly digitalization that does not leave anyone behind) in which people can choose services that match the needs of each person and various happiness can be realized through the use of digital technology, a large number of people will be flexibly promoted from private sector, etc.

Digital Agency is expected to efficiently and effectively build systems and provide digital services by utilizing the knowledge of human resources appointed from private sector and others.

On the other hand, it is necessary to ensure greater fairness and transparency so that such human resources do not provide benefits to companies, etc. in which they are concurrently engaged in system procurement, etc.

In doing so, it is also desirable to consider what a flexible development regime should be based on new development needs, such as the system procurement of agile type.

Based on the above, we will establish the "Study Group on Desirable Restrictions on Bidding in Digital Agency" consisting of experts such as academic experts in the Office of Information and Communications Technology (IT), and will organize and study desirable restrictions on bidding.

This study group was established on June 2, 2021, and the results were summarized at the third study group meeting on August 25.
