Background
ActionAid Nigeria seeks to engage a qualified consultant or company to provide reliable, high-speed internet connectivity for its events held at various venues across Abuja, including hotels, gardens, and parks. The service will support live streaming of events using a two-workstation setup. The internet service is intended solely for event streaming and not for general participant use. Should internet access for all participants be required, separate arrangements will be made.
Scope of Work
The selected service provider will be responsible for:
- Entering into a retainer agreement with ActionAid for internet service provision at designated event venues.
- Conducting site surveys 3 to 5 days prior to each event to identify optimal internet signal sources.
- Submitting detailed site survey reports and cost estimates for approval before each event.
- Delivering stable, high-speed internet with a minimum bandwidth of 70 Mbps and a data allocation of at least 100GB per event day, sufficient for streaming video and audio via Zoom for approximately 6 hours daily.
- Providing backup internet connectivity to ensure uninterrupted service throughout the event.
- Supporting multiple concurrent events across different locations within Abuja, with an estimated 15-20 events annually and potential for 2-3 simultaneous events. Each event will require separate survey reports and cost approvals prior to commencement.
Deliverables
- Comprehensive site survey reports including cost breakdowns submitted prior to each event.
- Reliable primary internet connection at each event venue.
- Backup internet solution to guarantee continuous connectivity.
- Timely submission of invoices following each event for payment processing.
Payment Terms

- Proven experience in delivering high-speed internet services for events.
- Capacity and resources to support multiple concurrent events.
- Valid licenses or registration with relevant regulatory bodies such as the Computer Professionals Registration Council of Nigeria (CPN), Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC), or Council for the Regulation of Engineering in Nigeria (COREN).
