Document background
The Request For Qualifications And Request For Proposal (RFQ/RFP) document is a crucial procurement instrument in Nigeria, designed to facilitate transparent and efficient selection of contractors or service providers for significant projects. It is primarily used when procuring entities need to assess both the qualifications and detailed proposals from potential bidders in a structured, two-stage process. The document must comply with the Public Procurement Act 2007 and other relevant Nigerian legislation, including sector-specific regulations and local content requirements. It is particularly valuable for complex projects where technical capability, financial capacity, and project-specific proposals need thorough evaluation. The document typically incorporates provisions for anti-corruption, transparency, and fair competition, while allowing for specific requirements based on project scope and sector regulations.
