In the bid-rigging case surrounding the Tokyo Olympics and Paralympics, it was found that the orders for the test competition and the subsequent work related to the main competition were virtually integrated. There was a suspicion of collusion over the bidding for the test competition, and advertising giants such as Dentsu, which received the order, were searched by the Tokyo District Public Prosecutors Office and the Fair Trade Commission. In the interviews with the people involved after that, it was found that there was a shared understanding within the Organizing Committee that the company that had received the order for the test competition would also be responsible for the operation of the main competition, and that the order was, in fact, a unified order. In anticipation of the main tournament, it is believed that orders for test tournaments have been adjusted. The contract amount for contractors is expected to reach several tens of billions of yen, including this tournament.
