Overview

A key deliverable of the European Union (EU) funded and United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) implemented project “Response to Drugs and Related Organized Crime in Nigeria” is the creation and deployment of a nationwide data network in support of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) in cooperation with the Government of Nigeria. This project aims to support Nigeria’s efforts in fighting drug production, distribution and use, and in curbing organized crime including counterfeit narcotics and psychotropic substances.

The intention of this Invitation to Bid (ITB) is to provide the framework and parameters for possible contractors for the build-and-transfer of NDLEA’s data network as part of the project.  The primary intention is to create and deliver an ICT platform for NDLEA commands throughout Nigeria to have real-time data connectivity to the servers located in both of the Central Commands.

National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA)

The NDLEA is a national law enforcement agency with a legislative mandate to investigate drug offences in Nigeria, along with interventions to reduce drug demand. They have commands in every State of Nigeria, including the capital territory in Abuja, as well as their headquarters in Lagos. Further to this, the NDLEA have 12 special area commands, which undertake specialized activities, including a presence at strategically important locations such as international airports and seaports.

There are three components of this ICT project:

Part 1:  Central Commands - One location (Abuja and Lagos) where the central intelligence servers are located. Installation of WAN at central command in NDLEA HQ Lagos has been completed.

Part 2:  Wide Area Network – IP/Ethernet connectivity between the central commands and the NDLEA state commands, and connectivity between the two Central Commands.

Part 3: State Command’s Local Area Network – There are 37 NDLEA state commands and 11 Special Area Commands, a Local Area Network (LAN) and its supporting systems needs to be established per command.

This project will be rolled-out in two (2) phases. Phase 1 has been completed with 15 commands (including Headquarters in Lagos) fully installed. Thirty seven (37) commands have been selected for implementation under Phase 2 (see annex A/B for location of sites for phase II). Installation of the second central command in Abuja will be carried out in Phase 2.

The roll out of Phase II is divided into 3 technical areas namely: WAN Installation; Server Room and Electrical Systems Installation and Furniture. This ITB focuses on the Server Room and Electrical Systems Installation at 38 NDLEA commands.
