Technical requirements: InfraCo Africa is choosing to follow a procurement process based on the Competitive Procedure with Negotiation for award of a public contract, as set out within the UK Public Contracts Regulations 2015.
InfraCo Africa seeks to alleviate poverty by mobilising investment into sub-Saharan infrastructure projects: it does this by funding teams of experienced project developers or by investing directly into projects which need the financial commitment and leverage that InfraCo Africa can bring. InfraCo Africa is now looking to extend its reach and pipeline of projects.
InfraCo Africa will procure up to 2 developers, to provide Developer Services on projects where InfraCo Africa's local partner does not have the resource or experience to act as the lead developer.
