Distribution of Procurement documentation and other documents

Suppliers wishing to join a procurement project can receive a copy of procurement documentation and other documents. Such documents are distributed by the contact point or the Internet. Documents regarding some procurement projects may be distributed only by either way. Therefore, check the distribution site of the procurement project you are interested in.

1. Distribution via Internet

1-1 Overview

For some projects, electronic document files (in Adobe PDF format) are available via the Internet. Before you download any file online, you must make a "pre-registration" as described below.

Once a procurement project is notified and the Request for Proposal is launched, you can download a document online. Downloading is possible until the closing date for the procurement project involved.

[Attention]

Files for some procurement projects are unavailable by online downloading.

1-2 Pre-registration

Suppliers wishing to download a document file online ("applicants") must make a "pre-registration."

(1)Applying for pre-registration

1.	For pre-registration, applicants must provide the required number of copies of documents described below. Applicants must mail or deliver them to one of the destinations below.

� Application for corporate account	1 copy
� Oath of Confidentiality	1 copy
� Corporate profile (corporate brochures, annual reports, etc.)	1 copy

As for "Application for Corporate Account" and "Oath of Confidentiality," files of PDF and MS-Word, please download the forms here and fill out all the items that must be filled out.

One of the files downloaded is in Adobe PDF format. To view the file you need to install Adobe Reader available from Adobe's Web site.

[Attentions]

In the field for the person responsible on the "Oath of Confidentiality," the person who can take responsibility for the confidentiality provisions specified must make a signature and affix a seal.
One company can make more than one registration. In such a case, standard practice would be for one division to make one registration.
If any item needs updating after you file your "Application for Corporate Account" and "Oath of Confidentiality," please notify the updates immediately.
