Document background
The Formal Request for Proposal is a critical procurement document used in Nigeria when organizations seek to acquire complex goods, services, or works through a competitive bidding process. It is governed by the Public Procurement Act 2007 and related regulations, requiring strict adherence to transparency, fairness, and value for money principles. This document type is particularly important for high-value procurements or those requiring detailed technical solutions, where simple tenders might not suffice. The RFP typically includes comprehensive technical specifications, evaluation criteria, and legal requirements, reflecting both federal procurement guidelines and specific organizational needs. It's designed to enable fair competition while ensuring compliance with Nigerian local content laws and anti-corruption regulations.
