Summary of the contracting process

The Nigeria Economic Stability and Transformation (NEST) programme, led by the Foreign Commonwealth and Development Office, aims to bolster Nigeria’s economic growth by primarily supporting Federal Government institutions in policy and strategy development. The procurement process, classified under foreign economic-aid-related services, follows an open procedure and is currently at the award and contract stage, with completion noted on 12 August 2025. The programme, valued at nearly £4 million, is situated in Nigeria and carried out by Tetra Tech Development International Limited, a large-scale supplier from the UK. The tender was initially active in November 2024 with a submission deadline by 10 January 2025.

This project presents significant growth opportunities for businesses skilled in implementing foreign economic-aid services, particularly those experienced in strategic economic planning and policy formulation alongside governmental bodies. While Tetra Tech Development International is the primary contractor, the demand-led nature of the NEST programme might present further collaboration prospects, especially for organisations capable of driving economic reforms and contributing insights for economic diversification in Nigeria. Businesses with expertise in stabilising economies, mitigating economic impacts on vulnerable populations, and supporting policy-making for growth and transformation could find this engagement particularly beneficial for international expansion and collaboration.
