What NJSS does

NJSS (入札情報速報サービス) is a Japanese government bidding information aggregation platform operated by ULURU.CO.,LTD., a privately held company headquartered in Tokyo. The platform consolidates public procurement opportunities and award results from across Japan, covering 9,044 contracting agencies including national ministries, prefectural governments, and municipalities across all 47 prefectures. As of March 2026, NJSS lists 27,225,498 registered bid cases, 21,708,089 historical results with winning bidders and contract amounts, and adds roughly 2.9 million new cases per year, with 75,127 opportunities currently open and 5,722 new cases registered within the most recent 24 hours.

The underlying technology is a hybrid data collection system that combines automated web crawlers with manual human visual verification, designed to capture bid postings that appear in heterogeneous PDF and text formats across thousands of municipal and ministry websites. Differentiated features include a bid results database enabling competitor analysis through historical winning patterns, competitor search tools showing which agencies rivals win contracts from, and ordering-agency directories. The product is delivered as a self-serve web application with an 8-day free trial and no automatic billing during the trial period.

NJSS operates a horizontal subscription SaaS model targeting any Japanese company interested in bidding on government contracts. Go-to-market combines a product-led free-trial funnel (with 260,000+ cumulative trial users and 7,200+ paying customers) and a complementary sales-led enterprise motion via a dedicated marketing site (njss-marketing.com) for materials requests and consultation. Marketing is driven by an SEO-oriented content ecosystem including NJSS Research Center, a bidding information article column, and a glossary of bidding terminology, supplemented by an agency/reseller directory (代理店一覧) for indirect distribution. Pricing tiers and specific price points are not disclosed publicly.
