However, depending on the contract amount, contract document preparation may not be required. (5) Method of Determining the Successful Bidder: The successful bidder will be the one who submits the lowest valid bid within the limit of the estimated price, in accordance with Article 4 of the "Japan Automobile Technology Association Contract Administration Regulations". However, if it is recognized that the successful bidder may not be able to perform the contract in accordance with its terms due to their bid price, or if it is deemed significantly inappropriate to conclude the contract with them due to the risk of disrupting fair trade practices, the bidder who submits the lowest valid bid within the limit of the estimated price may be selected as the successful bidder. When determining the successful bid price, it will be the amount written on the bid form plus 10% of that amount (if there are fractions of less than 1 yen, they shall be rounded down). Therefore, bidders shall write the amount equivalent to 100/110 of their estimated contract amount on the bid form, regardless of whether they are taxable or non-taxable businesses for consumption tax.
