Government tenders in Nigeria: where they are published.
Nigeria's federal procurement is overseen by the Bureau of Public Procurement, and its open contracting portal, NOCOPO, publishes federal procurement plans and records. Below the federal layer, states run their own procurement portals. TRINTA maps 11 Nigerian sources across both levels.
The national channels
These are the public, national-level sources: anyone can find them in one search. They carry a large share of the notices, not all of them.

And everything that publishes beside them
Beyond the national channels, 9 more sources in Nigeria publish their own notices. We count them by category without naming them: the complete source map is what sets the radar apart, and it is not published.
- 2public agencies and institutions publishing directly
- 2state-owned enterprises publishing their own notices
- 1regional, state and municipal buyers with their own portals
- 4other public buyers publishing their own notices
Nigerian procurement is federal by construction: the state that buys what you sell may publish only on its own portal. Watching Abuja alone undercounts the market.
What TRINTA does on this market
TRINTA reads these sources every day so the company does not have to. The radar is built per client: it starts from the company's real catalogue, builds a multilingual keyword profile, then scores every notice 0 to 100 against what the company actually sells, with the reasoning shown. Procedure documents are retrieved and attached, and a short scored list arrives each morning.
The same radar covers 170+ countries and 1,627 mapped official platforms, plus the multilateral lenders. A company selling in Nigeria rarely sells only in Nigeria.
