The Journey So Far Introduction At the inception of democratic government in 1999, the Federal Government observed that the contract award system lacked the required competition and transparency in the award process. The World Bank was commissioned in 1999-2000 to carry out a Country Procurement Assessment Review (CPAR). The CPAR report revealed that 60k was lost to underhand practices out of every N1:00 spent by Government. Introduction Cont’d Budget Monitoring and Price Intelligence Unit (BMPIU) was set up in 2001 to mitigate these corrupt practices using Treasury Circulars issued by the Accountant-General of the Federation. Nigeria ratified the United Nations Convention against Corruption (UNCAC) on 24th October, 2004, which calls for preventive measures and the criminalization of the most prevalent forms of corruption in both public and private sectors. The foregoing led to the enactment of the Public Procurement Act 2007, which is modelled after the United Nations Convention on International Trade Law (UNCITRAL) Procurement Model Law. Scope of Application of the Act The scope of application - Section 15 of PPA, 2007 All Federal Government Procuring Entities (Ministries, Departments and Agencies) All entities outside the foregoing description which derive at least 35% of the funds appropriated or proposed to be appropriated for any type of procurement described in PPA, 2007 from the Federation share of the Consolidated Revenue Fund (CRF).
