 brief history of the department

Due process is a mechanism for ensuring strict compliance to openness, competition and cost accuracy rules and procedures that guide contract awards in Cross River State. The Department is charged with the responsibility of implementing Public Procurement Reform Programme in the State. This reform was put in place as a result of flagrant abuse of procedures for award of public contracts, inflation of contract cost, lack of transparency and lack of merit as the criteria for award of public contracts.
The reform policy was also put in place to reduce and check large scale corruption and loss of several hundred funds in the state.
