The Bureau of Public Procurement (BPP) has postponed the commencement date for the exclusive electronic submission of requests and documents to Monday, Sept. 8, 2025.

The Director-General of BPP, Dr Adebowale Adedokun, disclosed this in a statement issued by the Bureau’s Head of Public Relations, Zira Nagga, on Tuesday in Abuja.

Adedokun said the extension followed an earlier circular issued on Aug. 4, regarding the Bureau’s move to electronic submission in line with the federal government’s e-governance agenda.

“With effect from Sept. 9, 2025, the BPP will no longer accept or process hardcopy submissions from Ministries, Departments, and Agencies (MDAs), Government-Owned Companies (GOCs), private firms, Non-Governmental Organisations (NGOs), or Civil Society Organisations (CSOs).

“All procurement-related documents must be sent electronically to submissions@bpp.gov.ng. (NAN)
