Document background
The Invitation Solicitation Letter is a crucial document in Nigerian business and procurement processes, serving as the formal initiation of a competitive bidding or proposal process. This document type is commonly used when organizations need to procure goods, services, or establish business partnerships in compliance with Nigerian law, particularly the Public Procurement Act 2007 and related regulations. The letter must be carefully structured to include all necessary information while maintaining transparency and fairness in the procurement process. An Invitation Solicitation Letter typically contains detailed specifications, qualification requirements, submission guidelines, and evaluation criteria, ensuring that all potential respondents have equal access to information and opportunity. The document is particularly important in public sector procurement but is also widely used in private sector transactions where formal procurement processes are required.
