Buying products, materials or equipment in Nigeria while living abroad can be difficult when you cannot visit suppliers, inspect goods or arrange local transportation yourself.
Procurement services in Nigeria can help overseas buyers source products locally, coordinate purchases, inspect goods and arrange delivery to a warehouse, project site or another destination.
Travo.ng helps Nigerians abroad and international buyers coordinate local procurement, supplier visits, product collection, transportation and delivery.
What Can Be Procured in Nigeria?
Depending on the requirements, procurement support can be useful for:
- Building materials
- Agricultural products
- Food and packaged goods
- Furniture
- Business equipment
- Retail inventory
- Spare parts
- Office supplies
- Construction materials
- Locally sourced products
The buyer should provide clear specifications so the procurement team knows exactly what to look for.
How Procurement From Abroad Works
A typical procurement process can involve:
- You provide the product specifications.
- A local supplier is identified or contacted.
- Availability and pricing are checked.
- The goods are purchased after approval.
- Items are collected or delivered from the supplier.
- Goods can be inspected or documented where required.
- Products are transported to your chosen destination.
This allows an overseas buyer to complete local purchases without travelling to Nigeria for every transaction.
Supplier Verification and Product Checks
When buying from a supplier remotely, basic checks can provide additional confidence.
A local representative may be able to visit the supplier’s premises, confirm the stated location, meet an authorised contact and provide photos or videos of the goods or premises.
For expensive purchases, technical products or major commercial transactions, professional inspection, legal due diligence or independent verification may still be necessary.
Procurement for Construction Projects
Overseas property owners and investors may need materials purchased locally for construction projects in Nigeria.
Procurement support can cover items such as cement, blocks, steel, timber, tiles, roofing materials, plumbing supplies and other site requirements.
Once purchased, the materials can be transported to the construction site using suitable delivery vehicles or haulage services.
Procurement for Overseas Businesses
International businesses sourcing Nigerian products can also use local procurement support.
Instead of asking employees abroad to coordinate every Nigerian supplier, a local representative can help with supplier meetings, product collection, basic checks and transportation.
This can be useful when the goods need to be consolidated before being shipped or distributed.
From Procurement to Delivery
Buying the goods is only one part of the process. Once the purchase is completed, the products may need to be collected, stored and delivered.
Travo.ng can coordinate relevant logistics such as local delivery, haulage, warehouse storage and other transportation requirements.
This gives an overseas buyer a more connected process from local procurement to final destination.
