Nigeria begins implementation of e-tendering and e-procurement

The Lagos State Public Procurement Agency has disclosed that it would commence the implementation of several modules of its e-Procurement Solution.

The implementation of the four new e-Procurement Solution Modules – e-Tendering, e-Publishing/Notification, e-Bidding and e-Award modules – would commence with three pilot Ministries in the State- Health, Education and Works and Infrastructure on 1 September 2019, while the Modules would be implemented in other Ministries, Departments and Agencies of the State in the first quarter of 2020.
