4. Registration
It is a prerequisite for all companies wishing to participate in the opportunities that they must follow the below procedures.
Submission of the supporting documents by e-mail:
Complete the following documents and submit to Crow Agents at register@crownagents.co.jp with the subject header must contain the reference “ESDP20/ Name of the company”.
- Registration Form (Word format)
- Business Partner Questionnaire (PDF format)
- Copies of your company’s audited accounts for the last 3 consecutive years (PDF format)

Advices when sending an e-mail:
- The burden of proving receipt of the e-mail will be on the company and will not be met solely by a read receipt or sent items report generated by the company’s computer.
- All incoming e-mails to Crown Agents are virus scanned prior to acceptance into the destination mailbox. Any e-mail containing a virus will therefore not reach the destination mailbox meaning that the registration has not been received by Crown Agents.
- If deemed receipt of an e-mail is not within business hours (meaning 9.30 am to 5.30 pm Japan time Monday to Friday on a day that is not a public holiday), it is deemed to have been received when business next starts.
Once companies are registered, their registration becomes valid for all the countries to be listed in the “2. Subject Area / Country” above. It is not necessary to register for each country individually.
Request for quotations will be issued only to eligible companies whose Registration Forms and supporting documents have been submitted to Crown Agents by 5.00 pm on the business day prior to the issuing date of each request for quotations.
