What is being bought

The programme aims to accelerate UK-Nigeria mutual economic growth by unlocking opportunities for private sector development. It will drive Nigeria’s economic transformation through investment and trade to generate jobs through two pathways: (i) facilitating immediate direct private investment and trade in high-potential non-oil sectors capitalising on existing opportunities, and (ii) strengthening the enabling environment by improving Nigeria’s business environment and investment conditions to support greater more sustainable business growth. These efforts will support Nigeria’s structural change and deeper integration into regional and global value chains, laying the foundation for diversified, sustainable and transformative growth, with benefits that are broad-based.

Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 75. The category anchor is Foreign economic-aid-related services (75211200); this is a deliberately broad market comparator. The comparison is shown at several levels rather than pretending one company or region is always the best benchmark.

Comparison setProceduresReported bids per procedureNamed award suppliersPrice evidence

“Reported bids” is an official aggregate, sometimes reported per lot; it is the closest available competition measure. “Named award suppliers” are winners, not all applicants.

Price-outcome signal

Not enough comparable procedures currently publish both a GBP tender value and a usable lowest-valid-bid value to calculate a responsible price-reduction benchmark. Tenderline deliberately does not infer a saving from named award suppliers or from missing award values.
