## Summary

The Foreign Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) has announced an extension to the United Kingdom Nigeria Infrastructure Advisory Facility (UKNIAF) contract, which involves providing technical testing, analysis, and consultancy services in the power sector in Nigeria. This initiative falls under the industry category of services and specifically targets the electricity infrastructure domain. The contract extension, which runs from 13th October 2025 to 31st March 2026, is valued at up to £1 million and does not change the existing financial arrangement. The procurement method used is 'limited,' as this is a voluntary ex ante transparency (VEAT) notice, indicating that the extension occurs without a re-procurement process since it doesn't substantially modify the contract's terms. Key participants include Tetra Tech Development International Limited as the supplier and Jasmine Nsofor as the contact point within the FCDO.

This extension represents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in renewable energy, state-level electricity market development, and private sector investment in infrastructure. Companies that can deliver technical expertise and consultancy services in these areas, especially those with experience in Nigeria's power industry, are ideally positioned to leverage this contract. The focus on growing private participation and commercial opportunities in electricity infrastructure should attract businesses ready to collaborate with agencies like the Rural Electrification Agency and state partnerships in regions like Akwa Ibom, Enugu, and Oyo. The contract presents a platform for organisations to expand their influence and operations within Nigeria's evolving renewable energy sector.

## Notice

This is a voluntary ex ante transparency (VEAT) notice. This notice is to indicate that the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO) proposes to extend the contract for the UK Nigeria Infrastructure Advisory Facility (UKNIAF) operating in Nigeria by 5.5 months from its current proposed end date of 13th October 2025 up to 31st March 2026. This contract is being extended, without re-procurement, because doing so does not constitute a "substantial" modification. There is no change in the financial value of the contract. The anticipated expenditure in the period between October 13th 2025 and 31st March 2026 will be up to PS1m, which has been baked into the existing contract value. A UKNIAF extension would enable 5.5 months of additional delivery to produce additional outputs/deliverables that continue existing activities primarily in the power sector, while continuing to grow private participation and commercial opportunities in electricity infrastructure.
