The Bureau of Public Procurement (BPP) is set to host a stakeholder forum to engage contractors, consultants, service providers, and key stakeholders in Nigeria’s public procurement ecosystem.
This is contained in a statement in Abuja on Tuesday, by Zira Nagga, Head, Press and Public Relations, BPP.
Nagga said the forum would be organised with the support of the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) Partnership for Agile Governance and Climate Engagement (PACE).
He also said that the training was one of the various mandatory capacity-building programmes of the bureau for all public sector procurement officers to adhere to in line with the Federal Government Extant Circulars.
He disclosed that the meeting is scheduled for Feb. 26, at the Sheraton Hotel, Ikeja, Lagos, at 10:00 a.m.
He further said that the meeting aims to discuss the Methodology for Assessing Procurement Systems (MAPS) framework and its role in strengthening public procurement processes in the country.
Nagga listed the key objectives of the meeting to include engaging contractors, consultants, service providers, and civil society organisations in a dialogue on the MAPS framework and its benefits for Nigeria’s procurement system.
Other objective he said was providing opportunities for stakeholders to offer feedback and input on the development of a National Procurement Strategy.
He added that the meeting would align Nigeria’s procurement reform agenda with the role of every stakeholder in its successful implementation.
He said participants expected at the meeting include representatives of government institutions, private-sector operators, professional bodies, civil society organisations, and development partners involved in procurement oversight, advocacy, and service delivery
