The certificates that win tenders
Bidding for government or corporate contracts in Nigeria? You will be asked for a stack of compliance certificates that prove you meet your statutory obligations as an employer and contractor: PENCOM (pensions), NSITF (employee compensation), ITF (industrial training), and BPP (public-procurement registration). Miss one and your bid is disqualified. This guide explains each and how to get compliant.
Honest note: RenewPapers is not PENCOM, NSITF, ITF or the BPP. The certificates are issued by those bodies once you are compliant. What we do is get your registrations and remittances in order and obtain each certificate, so your tender pack is complete.
What each one proves
- PENCOM certificate — you remit employee pension contributions.
- NSITF certificate — you contribute to the Employees’ Compensation Scheme.
- ITF certificate — you meet Industrial Training Fund obligations.
- BPP registration — your company is on the national contractors’ database (IRR) for public procurement.
Start early — these stack on each other. The certificates depend on clean PAYE, remittances and CAC records. If a tender is weeks away, begin now — this is the part that runs late.
