Observer of Tenders for contract awards.

JRI as an Accredited Public Procurement CSO in Nigeria has been observing Tender Board Meetings/Bid Openings for the award of TETFUND sponsored projects at COE Katsina Ala, Benue State in recent times.

As a standard practice the Tenders Board of the College calls for Contract Bids from suitable companies. The call for submission of bids is usually advertised in Newspapers and Tenders Journals.

Upon submission of Technical and Financial Bids, the board fixes a date for bid opening where the representatives of the companies, CSO/NGO observers and members of the Tenders Board met to open the bids and give pre qualification scores before deserving companies are awarded contracts as per the LOT they bid for.

The most qualified company whose Technical and Financial Bid meets the selection criteria is then offered the contract.
