BPP has no powers to certify the Procurers of Procurement – Institute

The Chartered Institute of Purchasing and Supply Management of Nigeria (CIPSMN) has described the recent launch of the “National Procurement Certification Project” by the Bureau of Public Under (BP) as illegal and unconstitutional.

Cipsmn in a declaration issued by his chancellor, Prof. M Aliyu observed that Bureau of Public Approment (BPP) has no legal authority to certify the reporters of the contracts in the country, noting that it is exclusively the role of Cipsmn pursuant to his institution law.

While condemning the recent launch, Cipsmn stressed that although the Public Approvement Act 2007 provides large administrative powers of the BPP to engage in partnerships and capacity construction activities, it does not guarantee the BPP legal authority to certify the professionals of contracts to practice professionally.

He claimed that any BPP certification program in collaboration with any organization, local or international who tries to authorize people to practice supply in Nigeria without the approval of Cipsmn, is illegal and would be challenged by any means possible.

According to the declaration: “The recent launch of the so-called” national contract certification project “on Wednesday 30 April by the BPP, in collaboration with the Chartered Institute of Narre, United Kingdom (Cips-UK) and with the support of the World Bank in Nigeria in Nigeria, is not only in conflict with existing laws, but a violation of Section 16 of the CIPPSMN (Act Act. including the 2007 Public Appromment Act 14. “

“It is known that criminal ambition undermining the Cipsmn statutory roles to regulate the training, certification and professional practice of contracts and the management of the offer in Nigeria, is legendary. From the establishment of the right trial office, to the appointments of two (2) general by different professions by the requirements and the recent appointment of a general manager to be Agebowale, un qualified on the basis of the regional directors. The stories are similar.

“The subsection of section 11 of Part IV 8 and 9 of the State of the Cipsmn law as follows” the professionals of the purchase and offer from abroad residing in Nigeria and want to practice within 12 months from the start of this law, seek registration at the Institute to become members. Subsection 9 – A person shall not be entitled to be apo noted or engaged to head any purchiasing and supply chain management of any organization unless, he is dully registed with the institute qualified by examination and section 16 (2) “IF, on or after the comments of this act, a person Who is not Member of the Institute Practices Or Hold Himself Out AS A member in Expectation of a reward or takes or uses any name, title, addition or description implying that he is a member, he is guilty of a crime “Section 20 of the CIPSMN ACT – the interpretation describes” purchases and supplies “as any qualified member who is in practice. Any organization, ministry, company and engaged in purchases, supplies, supply, shops, warehouses, logistics, material and offer management.

“This is their albatro for all the generals of director appointed at the head of the BPP from the beginning. It is a standard applicable all over the world including the United Kingdom, USA and India, the three leading countries in the practice of supply in the BPP world have abandoned its prosecutor for the public. The supply (BPP) and outlines its objectives and functions.

“There is no place in the PPA 2007 or in other Nigerian laws in which it is stated that BPP should train and certify the procurement professionals, not to mention the” procurement professional “as contained in the” certification portal “expenses just launched.

“With the absence of a National Council on public procurement, NCPP as content in part 1, section 1 of the PPA 2007 to supervise the BPP activities, now it has become a law for herself by abandoning the key functions, in particular section 5 (P) that required an effective that occurred due to an effective that has been able to be due to a need for a fact of facts. BPP and Nass have not seen any reason to question it.

“At the launch of thickness, it is a common knowledge all over the world that, you are not a professional until you write and overcome a professional examination in a particular field of study. And these exams are not conducted by universities or by any higher learning institution but professional bodies in all countries of the world. A certification program for the supply agents of public service for over 15 years with the foreign institution, which undermine the laws of the country. In the United Kingdom to be known and recognized in Nigeria and we consider it as an indirect colonization the reform of the contracts in Nigeria, it was based on the law of the non -unique model and advanced it through the guidelines of the World Bank, while the UK supply system is based on the directives of the European Union.

“The Nigerian contract certification program (NPCP) that the BPP has erroneously interpreted, only aligns with the mandate of the Bureau to improve the supply standards, promote transparency and ensure a value for money in public contracts. The NPCP acquisition mission to strengthen the supply institutions that NPC (which is obtained the national certification mission (Act. Bureau of Public Arriving Nigeria has declared that “it is a way for the practice of contracts in Nigeria” raises critical, ethical and professional considerations on regulatory sovereignty, institutional roles and on the international collaboration in the Nigeria contract space compared to Cipsmn Act 2007.
The Public Procurement Act (PPA) 2007 of Nigeria is the primary legislation that guides public supply processes in the country.

“It also establishes the public procurement office (BPP) and outlines its powers and functions. However, the concern is if the BPP can stipulate partnerships with the World Bank, Cips-UK, etc. and if the BPP can manage a prosecutor’s certification program for the prosecutor’s practice for the practice of the prosecutor for the practice.
The BPP has large functions pursuant to the PPA 2007. The relevant part includes section 5 (A) which gives the powers of the BP to “formulate the general policies and guidelines relating to the public sector contracts for the approval of the Council” and 5 (E): “Supervise the implementation of other supply policies. As can be assigned occasionally by the Council.

“Provided that the BPP can enter international partnerships with the approval of the Council and the law gives a wide discretionary authority to act in support of its functions and the collaboration with external bodies, such as the World Bank, Cips-Uk, can be implicit under its duty to develop the supply capacity and practices in Nigeria but must be in line with the approval of the Council without violating the Nigerian laws.

“As regards the certification of procurement professionals, it is here that it becomes illegal, sensitive and a big problem for national concern. The Chartered of Buy Institute and the management of Nigeria (Cipsmn) was established by an act of the National Assembly – the Cipsmn Act n. 21 of 2007 – to regulate the training, the EE certification, by misleading the government and the people of Nigeria.
