About the Bureau

Guardians of a public covenant.

Established in 2012 to promote transparency, accountability and value for money in all public procurement activities across Jigawa State.

Our mandate

Six statutory functions.

The Bureau's legal authority derives from the Jigawa State Public Procurement Law (2014), which assigns the following core responsibilities.

01
Prior Review & Certification
Certifying every contract valued above threshold to ensure compliance with procurement law before award.
02
Procurement Process Oversight
Supervising tender advertisement, evaluation, and award processes across all state MDAs.
03
Project Monitoring
Monitoring implementation of capital projects above ₦250 million to confirm delivery against approved specifications.
04
Vendor Registration
Maintaining the state vendor register and certifying contractors across all procurement categories.
05
Grievance Redress
Receiving and resolving procurement complaints from bidders, civil society, and the public within 14 working days.
06
Transparency & Disclosure
Publishing all tender notices and contract awards in OCDS format on a quarterly basis.
Guiding principles

Four values, non-negotiable.

I.

Openness

Every tender notice, evaluation minute, and contract award is published within statutory timelines. Nothing material is withheld from the public record.

II.

Competition

Open competitive tendering is the default method. Any deviation requires documented justification and Bureau concurrence before award proceeds.

III.

Value for Money

Lowest evaluated responsive bid — not lowest bid. Quality, life-cycle cost, and delivery risk are weighted into every procurement decision.

IV.

Accountability

Every officer involved in a procurement decision is named in the record. Whistleblowers are protected; wrongdoers are referred to relevant authorities.

Executive leadership
