  • FEDERAL MINISTRY OF COMMUNICATIONS, INNOVATION AND DIGITAL ECONOMY-REQUEST FOR EXPRESSIONS OF INTEREST FOR QUALITY ASSURANCE FOR THE NATIONAL DIGITAL ECONOMY RESEARCH CLUSTERS

    FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF NIGERIA
    REQUEST FOR
    EXPRESSIONS OF INTEREST FOR QUALITY ASSURANCE FOR THE NATIONAL DIGITAL ECONOMY RESEARCH CLUSTERS
    NIGERIA
    BUILDING RESILIENT DIGITAL INFRASTRUCTURE FOR GROWTH – BRIDGE
    PROJECT NUMBER: _ P508383
    ASSIGNMENT TITLE: QUALITY ASSURANCE FOR UNIVERSITY-LED NATIONAL DIGITAL ECONOMY RESEARCH CLUSTERS
    REFERENCE NO. (AS PER PROCUREMENT PLAN): NG-FMCIDE-542751-CS-QCBS

    The Federal Government of Nigeria (the “Government”) has applied for financing from the World Bank towards the cost of the ‘Building Resilient Digital Infrastructure for Growth – Bridge’, a Project aimed at deploying a 90,000km Fibre Optic Network. This will be structured as a Public Private Partnership (PPP) implemented through a Special Purpose Vehicle (the “SPV”) company. The Government intends to apply part of the proceeds for the engagement of an independent Quality Assurance firm (“QA Firm” or “Consultant”) to manage coordination, quality assurance, fiduciary oversight, monitoring and evaluation, and knowledge management of the University Led National Digital Economy Research Clusters, in accordance with the World Bank procurement and technical assistance standards.

    BACKGROUND AND CONTEXT

    Nigeria is investing significantly in digital infrastructure, connectivity, and digital public platforms as part of its broader economic transformation agenda. While access has expanded, evidence indicates that access alone does not guarantee meaningful, safe, or productive use of the internet, particularly for unserved and underserved communities. Addressing demand side constraints (skills, trust, relevance, affordability, and institutional readiness) requires robust, locally grounded analytical evidence.

    To this end, the Federal Ministry of Communications, Innovation and Digital Economy (“FMCIDE”), in collaboration with the Federal Ministry of Education, is establishing the National Digital Economy Research Clusters Programme (the “Programme”). As part of the Programme, Nigerian universities and accredited research institutions will serve as research providers, organized into thematic research clusters.  Given the scale, multi-partner nature, and fiduciary requirements of the Programme, FMCIDE seeks to engage an independent QA Firm.

    OBJECTIVES AND SCOPE OF THE CONSULTANCY

    The objective of QA Firm is to provide overall management, coordination, quality assurance, fiduciary oversight, monitoring and evaluation, and consolidated reporting for the Programme ensuring timely delivery, technical quality, fiduciary compliance, learning, and policy relevance of outputs, in line with World Bank Technical Assistance standards (the “Services”).

    All reports shall be submitted in English, in editable and PDF formats.

    The detailed Terms of Reference (TOR) for the assignment can be found at the following link: b.link/TOR:QualityAssuranceforNDERC

    The Federal Ministry of Communications, Innovation and Digital Economy now invites eligible consulting firms to indicate their interest in providing the Services. Interested Consultants should provide information demonstrating that they have the required qualifications and relevant experience to perform the Services.

    The shortlisting criteria for the Consultant are set out below:

    1. Have at least 7 years’ experience managing or coordinating multi-institutional technical assistance or research programmes.
    2. Demonstrate experience working with government, universities, and research institutions on policy-oriented programmes.
    3. Have proven capacity in programme management, quality assurance, fiduciary oversight, and consolidated reporting.
    4. Demonstrate strong monitoring, evaluation, and learning capability.
    5. Experience working on digital economy, ICT, or innovation related programmes shall be considered an added advantage.

    Key Experts will not be evaluated at the shortlisting stage.

    The attention of interested Consultants is drawn to Section III, paragraphs, 3.13, 3.15, 3.16, and 3.17 of the World Bank’s “Procurement Regulations for IPF Borrowers” February 2025 (“Procurement Regulations”), setting forth the World Bank’s policy on conflict of interest.  A Consultant will be selected in accordance with the Consultants Quality and Cost-based Selection method set out in the Procurement Regulations.

    Further information can be obtained at the address below during office hours from 9:00 am to 3:00 pm (local time). Expressions of interest must be delivered in written form to the email address as follows: projectbridge@fmcide.gov.ng or in person, to the address below, by 22nd April 2026.

    The Federal Government of Nigeria (the “Government”) has applied for financing from the World Bank towards the cost of the ‘Building Resilient Digital Infrastructure for Growth – Bridge’ (“Project BRIDGE”), a Project aimed at deploying a 90,000km Fibre Optic Network. The Government intends to apply part of the proceeds from Project BRIDGE to fund the National Digital Economy Research Clusters Programme (the “Programme”), through which the Government will engage qualified university-led research clusters to undertake high-quality, policy-relevant research across key thematic areas of the digital economy (the “Services”).

    BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE

    Nigeria is investing significantly in digital infrastructure, connectivity, and digital public platforms as part of its national economic transformation agenda. Despite progress in access, substantial gaps remain in meaningful, safe, and productive use of the internet, particularly among unserved and underserved populations including rural communities, women, youth, informal workers, persons with disabilities, and micro and small enterprises.

    The Programme aims to address these gaps by generating rigorous, policy relevant research delivered by university-led research consortia. It seeks not only to produce applied research outputs, but also to strengthen long-term national research capacity and develop a pipeline of advanced digital economy researchers.  To ensure coherence and strategic alignment with national digital economy priorities, the Programme is organised into six (6) thematic research clusters (the “Research Clusters”). Nigerian universities and accredited research institutions will serve as research providers for each cluster. Strategic oversight of the Programme will be provided by a Technical Assistance Steering Committee co-chaired with the Federal Ministry of Education.

    SCOPE OF THE PROGRAMME

    The objective of these consultancy assignments are to strengthen the Government of Nigeria’s capacity to design, implement, and evaluate inclusive digital economy policies through high quality, policy relevant research delivered by university led Research Clusters.

    THEMATIC RESEARCH CLUSTERS

    Eligible institutions are invited to submit Expressions of Interest for one or more of the following six thematic research clusters. Each submission must clearly indicate the specific cluster for which it is made and demonstrate substantive alignment with that cluster’s thematic scope. However, an institution may only be shortlisted in a maximum of three (3) clusters in the capacity of the lead consultant or a Joint Venture member, provided that they have relevant qualifications and experience. This does not limit the capacity of an institution to participate and then be shortlisted in multiple clusters as subconsultant.

    (iv) To coordinate, supervise, and review deliverables of climate-related consulting firms and specialists;
    (v) To design, set up and implement the Abia State Climate Change Adaptation Youth Corps; and
    (vi)To support institutional capacity strengthening within the PIU and relevant MDAs on climate-resilient infrastructure planning and implementation.
    The Abia State Ministry of Works now invites eligible individual consultants to indicate their interest in providing the above Services. Interested consultants must provide the following information indicating that they are qualified to perform the services:
    1. Detailed Curriculum Vitae (CV) indicating qualifications, relevant experience, and professional references;
    2. Copies of academic and professional certificates;
    3. Description of similar assignments undertaken, with evidence of engagement (letters of award, contract agreements, or reference letters);
    4. Demonstrated experience in climate change mainstreaming, AfDB-financed projects, and coordination of climate-related consulting assignments;
    5. Evidence of regional work experience in climate change, green growth, or related fields (within Nigeria and/or Sub-Saharan Africa).

    B. REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS AND EXPERIENCE
    6. At least a Master’s degree in Environmental Studies, Environmental Economics, Sustainable Resource Management, Climate Change, Development Studies, Environmental Engineering, Urban Planning, Civil Engineering, or any other related discipline;
    7. A minimum of ten (10) years of relevant professional experience in climate change, green growth, climate or green finance, multilateral development bank projects, or related fields;
    8. Experience in mainstreaming climate change adaptation and mitigation measures into development interventions in Nigeria;
    9. Proven track record on policy dialogue and cross-institutional collaboration, including with government and non-government partners;
    10. Excellent technical and analytical skills with an established track record in operational and policy work on climate change and climate finance matters.

    Eligibility criteria and the selection procedure shall be based on Individual Consultant Selection (ICS) method in accordance with the African Development Bank’s Procurement Policy Framework, October 2015, which is available on the Bank’s website at https://www.afdb.org/en/projects-and-operations/procurement/new-procurement-policy/ Further information can be obtained at the address below during office hours [0900 to 1700 hours].
