PROCUREMENT OF THE SOLAR PLAN PROJET FOR THE AFRICAN DEVELOPMENT BANK’S OFFICE IN ABUJA -NIGERIA
Date: 25 July 2023
PROCUREMENT NOTICE
ADB/ITB/TCGS/2023/0190
The African Development Bank, Abuja
The African Development Bank (hereafter designated as “the Bank”) is desirous to secure the services as per above listed tender for its Country Office based in Abuja – Nigeria. Only legally registered companies that have competency, capacity, and skills to carry out these activities are invited to bid.
The PV solar power plant system (hybridisable with utility and diesel generator) is intended to supply different essential loads at the field office in Abuja, Nigeria. It will supply, among others, outdoor lighting for security reasons, server equipment, fireman’s lift, security building, plant room and diesel pump. This project is justified by the unstable power supply network because of which over 52% of the Commission’s energy needs are provided by stand-by generators. The power supply to these essential loads are backed up by a diesel generator which is overstretched particularly at the night and weekend periods. The solar power plant will replace the power supply via utility and diesel generator, and its production surplus will be injected directly into the building to help cut down on the utility bill and the cost for fuel consumption.
The system should be designed to have at least 1-day autonomy (i.e. can run for a day without charging from the panel).
The Solar system should be packaged to provide convenient installation at a remote customer site by a qualified technician. The system shall be constructed such that a user can perform routine maintenance easily, and a technician can easily perform system diagnostics or replace components.
