Vetting of Contracts Documents by the DPPMB Project Designs (where applicable), Bills of Quantities, Quotations and other tendering documents in respect of any construction work, procurement or service contract whose value is Five Million Naira (N5,000,000.00) and above shall be vetted by the Due Process and Project Monitoring Bureau (DPPMB). Accordingly, all Ministries, Extra-Ministerial Departments and Parastatals/Corporations shall forward all documents in respect of contracts whose values exceed Five Million Naira (N5, 000,000.00) to the DPPMB for vetting to ensure compliance with laid down rules and regulations and issuance of a Due Process Certificate.
