The Bureau of Public Procurement has postponed the commencement date for the exclusive electronic submission of requests and documents to Monday.

The director-general of BPP, Adebowale Adedokun, disclosed this in a statement on Tuesday.

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

“With effect from September 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,” he stated.
