FAAN opens 2017 IGR contract bids

The Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) has commenced the bidding process for the award of contracts under its 2017 Internally Generated Revenue (IGR) Budget.
A statement signed by Herrienta Yakubu, FAAN Acting General Manager, Corporate Affairs, said that the process was advertised in newspapers as well as the Federal Tenders Journal on February 20.
The advertisement requested qualified organisations to express interest for the award of contracts in tax collection, audit assignment, medical equipment, goods and works.
According to the statement, the process began on April 3 when tender documents were opened in line with the provisions of the Public Procurement Act 2007.
Yakubu said the exercise was witnessed by a Technical Evaluation Committee and three independent observers to ensure transparency.
The observers included officials of the Builders Association, Centre for Transparency Watch, Project Development Network as well as the Federal Ministry of Transport.
“Successful bidders will be contacted after the evaluation process had been concluded,’’ Yakubu said.
