Title: Request for Qualification (RfQ) for the Development of Nama Residential Estate at Fagge Local Government Area of Kano State, Nigeria

Location:   Kano

Introduction

The Federal Government of Nigeria (FGN), through the Nigerian Airspace Management Agency ("NAMA"), has received an unsolicited proposal to develop a residential estate with associated infrastructure on its land along Jaba Fanisau Road, off Airport Road, Fagge Local Government Area in Kano State.
The proposed site is an undeveloped plot of land measuring about 14.4901 hectares belonging to NAMA.
Nigerian Airspace Management Agency ("NAMA") in compliance with the Infrastructure Concession Regulatory Commission ("ICRC") Establishment Act 2005 seeks qualified private developers to undertake the development of a residential estate with the associated infrastructure. NAMA invites interested firms and/or consortia of firms to participate in the qualification process for the selection of Challengers through a Swiss Challenge Method for the "Development of NAMA Residential Estate".

Project Objective

The objective of the project is for NAMA to optimize the usage of its underutilized land asset with the aim of generating additional revenue for the agency, by developing affordable housing estates under a public private partnership with Private Developers that have the technical and financial capabilities to design and construct the estates for lease to buyers.

Project Scope

The main scope of the NAMA Residential Estate Development Project for PPP scheme is the design and construction of a residential estate with associated infrastructure on 14.4901 hectares of land along Jaba Fanisau Road, off Airport Road, Fagge Local Government Area in Kano State.

Swiss Challenge PPP Procurement Methodology

Note that there is a private proponent who has submitted a proposal on the projects, however, to ensure transparency, competition and value for money, the project will be procured under a Swiss Challenge PPP Procurement Methodology which requires that if the original project proponent is not the most responsive bidder, it will be given the right to match the most responsive bid to win the concession. However, if it is unable to match the most responsive bid, the most responsive bid then wins the Swiss Challenge PPP procurement and becomes the Preferred Project Proponent.
NAMA expects the selected Private Partner to undertake the Design, Financing and Construction of the estate based on Tenure, Terms and Conditions to be set out in a Design, Finance, Build, Lease and Transfer (DFBLT) Agreement.
