## Summary

The procurement process for the "Communications Project - Nigeria" was initiated by the Crown Commercial Service to support the Federal Government of Nigeria's response to COVID-19. The project, classified under the communications network industry category, requires a polling agency to conduct weekly nationwide and state-specific polling for up to 12 weeks, starting from 18 September 2020. The procurement method employed was a direct single tender action, with the total contract value set at £94,739.86. The tender period ended on 17 September 2020, and the award was announced on 21 July 2021, establishing a contract duration from 18 September to 11 December 2020.

This opportunity is particularly relevant for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) with expertise in polling services, especially those capable of conducting surveys in local languages and producing analytical reports for stakeholders in Nigeria's COVID-19 response. Enterprises focused on communications and data analysis can leverage this contract to showcase their capabilities and potentially expand their market presence, especially in international contracting environments.

## Notice

GCSI has been providing technical support to the risk communications and community engagement pillar of the Federal Government of Nigeria's Presidential Task Force (PTF) on COVID-19 since April 2020. Chief among the support that GCSI offers is audience insight via regular nationwide and state specific polling. GCSI required a polling agency to conduct weekly polling at both nationwide and state specific level in Nigeria for a period of up to 12 weeks beginning 18 September. The agency must have the expertise to poll in local languages as appropriate, they must produce data analysis reports weekly, and they must present these to key stakeholders in Nigeria's COVID-19 response twice a week in collaboration with GCSI.
