The Bureau of Public Procurement (BPP) is set to host a stakeholder forum with contractors, consultants, service providers, and other key players in Nigeria’s public procurement ecosystem. The event will take place on February 26 at the Sheraton Hotels in Ikeja, Lagos.
The forum is supported by the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) and the Partnership for Agile Governance and Climate Engagement (PACE). Its primary focus is to discuss the Methodology for Assessing Procurement Systems (MAPS) framework and its role in strengthening public procurement processes across the country.
In a statement issued by the Head of Press and Public Relations at the BPP, Mr. Zira Zakka Nagga, the objectives of the meeting were outlined as follows:
Engage stakeholders—including contractors, consultants, service providers, and civil society organisations—in a dialogue on the MAPS framework and its benefits for Nigeria’s procurement system.
Provide opportunities for stakeholders to offer feedback and input on the development of a National Procurement Strategy.
Align Nigeria’s procurement reform agenda with the roles of all stakeholders in its successful implementation.
The statement listed expected participants to include representatives from government institutions, private-sector operators, professional bodies, civil society organisations, and development partners involved in procurement oversight, advocacy, and service delivery.
The forum underscores the BPP’s commitment to inclusive reform and the adoption of international best practices in public procurement.
