Welcome to the Contractor Registration portal of the Edo State Public Procurement Agency (ESPPA). This page provides information and guidelines for contractors interested in registering with ESPPA to participate in public procurement processes within Edo State. Contractor registration is a mandatory requirement for entities seeking to bid for government contracts and projects, and it ensures that only qualified and reputable contractors are eligible to participate in procurement activities.
To be eligible for registration as a contractor with ESPPA, entities must meet certain criteria, including but not limited to:
• Legal Registration: Contractors must be duly registered with the Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC) or relevant regulatory authority in Nigeria.
• Financial Capacity: Contractors should demonstrate sufficient financial capacity to undertake projects of the proposed size and scope.
• Technical Expertise: Contractors must possess the requisite technical skills, experience, and resources to execute projects competently and efficiently.
• Compliance: Contractors must comply with all applicable laws, regulations, and standards, including tax compliance, health and safety regulations, and environmental standards.
The registration process involves the following steps:
• Prequalification: Contractors are required to complete a prequalification questionnaire and submit relevant documents, including company registration certificates, tax clearance certificates, audited financial statements, and evidence of technical qualifications and experience.
• Application Submission: Contractors can submit their registration applications electronically through the ESPPA online portal or in person at the agency’s office.
• Evaluation: ESPPA evaluates the submitted applications based on the eligibility criteria and verifies the authenticity of the provided documents.
• Approval: Upon successful evaluation, contractors receive approval and are issued a registration certificate, indicating their eligibility to participate in public procurement processes.
Contractors registered with ESPPA enjoy several benefits, including:
• Access to Government Contracts: Registered contractors have the opportunity to bid for government contracts and projects advertised by procuring entities within Edo State.
• Enhanced Credibility: Registration with ESPPA enhances a contractor’s credibility and reputation, demonstrating compliance with procurement regulations and standards.

• Networking Opportunities: Registration enables contractors to network with other stakeholders in the procurement ecosystem, including government agencies, suppliers, consultants, and industry associations.
Registered contractors are required to renew their registration annually and maintain compliance with ESPPA’s requirements throughout the registration period. Renewal involves updating relevant documents and information, including financial statements, tax clearance certificates, and proof of continued technical competence. Failure to renew registration or maintain compliance may result in suspension or revocation of registration privileges.
