Why do so many public projects fail even when the funding, engineering, and policies are in place?
The answer often lies in procurement.
The Nigerian Procurement Blueprint is a practical, step-by-step guide that demystifies Nigeria's public procurement system and equips readers with the knowledge and tools to deliver projects with transparency, compliance, efficiency, and value for money.
Drawing on years of experience as an engineer, researcher, lecturer, and public procurement specialist, Engr. Dr. Michael Igara Nmecha bridges the gap between procurement law and real-world project delivery. Rather than focusing on theory alone, this book provides actionable guidance that professionals can immediately apply in government ministries, departments and agencies (MDAs), higher education institutions, development projects, and private organizations working with the public sector.
Inside this book, you will learn how to:
- Understand the Nigerian Public Procurement Act and its practical application.
- Develop effective procurement plans and needs assessments.
- Conduct transparent bid evaluations and contractor selection.
- Manage procurement risks and compliance requirements.
- Navigate Nigeria's digital procurement platforms.
- Prevent common procurement mistakes that lead to delays, abandoned projects, and audit queries.
- Improve contract administration and project implementation.
- Apply practical templates, checklists, and procurement tools to everyday work.
Whether you are a procurement officer, engineer, project manager, contractor, consultant, auditor, policymaker, researcher, lecturer, student, or public servant, this book provides a clear roadmap for mastering procurement processes and improving project outcomes.
If you are committed to delivering infrastructure, public services, and development projects that truly create value for society, The Nigerian Procurement Blueprint is an essential resource for your professional library.
