The Plateau State Government, Nigeria, through the Project Implementation Unit, has launched a tender process to hire advisors for the Jos Main Market PPP project.

The market was extensively damaged by fire in February 2002, in addition to that, a twin bomb blast which occurred around the market on 20 May 2014 further dragged the market to its current state. Now the government has plans to redevelop and upgrade the market to promote economic activities.

The Transaction Advisors (TA) will have to provide broad range of advisory services for the preparation of an outline business case (OBC) and transaction advisory services for the redevelopment of the Jos Main Market through the PPP model.

Established under the first Military Governor of the old Benue-Plateau State, Joseph Gomwalk, it became the hub for the sale of all sorts of commodities including cosmetics and clothing. It was known to be the largest indoor market in West Africa.

The state government has launched a request for expression of interest (RFEOI) to carry out the project. Interested parties must submit the solicited documents on or before 28 January 2016.
