RURAL ACCESS AND AGRICULTURAL MARKETING PROJECT (RAAMP)/ SCALE-UP (RAAMP-SU)
PROJECT ID.: P180640
CREDIT NO.: 7662-NG
The Federal Government of Nigeria through the Federal Ministry of Agriculture and Food Security has received financing from the World Bank to finance the Rural Access and Agricultural Marketing Project Scale Up (RAAMP-SU), a successor of the Rural Access and Agricultural Marketing Project (RAAMP) and on-let the financing to participating states under an Investment Project Financing (IPF) following an output-based lending approach. The parent project RAAMP was designed to address both the institutional inadequacy and funding gaps for rural road maintenance. Eighteen (18) out of the nineteen (19) states have enacted laws for the establishment of Rural Road Access Agency (RARA) and State Road Fund (SRF). Some states have advanced in the operationalization of the two institutions. This is a significant milestone in road sector reform in Nigeria and the RAAMP-SU will continue the effort to anchor rural infrastructure asset management through incentives at Federal and State level.
The lead agency of the Federal Government is the Federal Ministry of Agriculture and Food Security (FMA&FS). The Federal Project Management Unit (FPMU) under the FMA&FS is responsible for overall project coordination, implementation of Federal level project activities and supervision of State level activities. The physical implementation of the project is at state level. The participation under the project is through satisfying the state selection criteria which include the establishment of RARA & SRF.
The project is accordingly envisaged to be procurement intensive. Broadly, the procurement activities are expected to include the procurement of Civil Works, Consultancy Services for engineering designs, environmental and social safeguards instruments and Resettlement Action Plan, supervision and bidding document preparation for roads upgrading/ construction of 3000km Road interventions incorporating nature-based solutions and “Green Roads for water” and Goods components. The procurement under the World Bank financing shall adhere to the procedures as specified in the World Bank’s Procurement Regulations for Borrowers (February 2025, sixth edition) and will be open to all eligible firms and individuals as defined in the Procurement Regulations.
In line with paragraph 4.4 of the Procurement Regulations 6th Edition, intended Contractor, Suppliers and consultants are requested to participate in the early market event. The event is face-to-face plus virtual scheduled as follows:
