BPP Begins Classification Of Contractors
The Bureau of Public Procurement (BPP) has commenced the second phase of categorisation and classification of engineering consultants and service providers working on federal government projects. It launched the exercise in Abuja recently.
A press release by the bureau says it initiated the process to obtain feedback from industry representatives on how the way forward as regards public procurement.
In line with the Public Procurement Act 2007, BPP brought the participants together in a workshop to chart a new course in public procurement process and how it could be made transparent.
Section 5 (h) of the Act charges the bureau to maintain a national database of particulars of federal contractors and service providers.
Director General of BPP, Emeka Ezeh, said the exercise, which was a follow up of a similar one held in November, was meant to create platform for proper categorisation of consultants and service providers. This, he said, would help the authorities to know individual contractors and their jobs.
The DG listed enhancement of efficiency, enthronement of transparency, cost saving, improved budget implementation and professionalism as some of the benefits of the process.
He also said the process would discourage double registration and create a leeway for other regulatory bodies to leverage on the activities of the bureau on the basis of collaboration.
Ezeh BPP has written other regulatory and professional bodies to make submission to the bureau on how to achieve desired result in public procurement.
