On 25 September 2026, The Gambia’s state utility NAWEC signed a $14 million deal to extend power lines to 241 villages across two administrative regions, Central River (Crr) and Upper River (Urr). The contract falls under the Additional Rural Electrification initiative and marks one of the largest grid-expansion commitments made by the government in 2026. Work will involve substation upgrades, low-voltage distribution and household meter installation in settlements currently off the national grid.
2026年9月25日，冈比亚国营公用事业公司NAWEC签署了一份1400万美元的合同，将输电线路延伸至中河区（Crr）和上河区（Urr）共241个村庄。该合同属于"额外农村电气化"计划，是冈比亚政府2026年规模最大的电网扩建承诺之一。工程内容涵盖变电站升级、低压配电以及为目前尚未接入国家电网的定居点安装入户电表。
International contractors and equipment vendors can bid for four distinct work streams: 33-kV substation hardware, pole and conductor supply, smart-meter provisioning, and civil works for right-of-way clearing. The $14 million envelope will be split between capital goods imports and local labor subcontracting, leaving roughly half of the value for overseas suppliers. Chinese, Turkish and Senegalese firms have historically dominated West African rural electrification tenders, but first-time entrants can still compete if they partner with a Gambian-registered entity.
国际承包商和设备供应商可竞标四个细分工程：33千伏变电站硬件、电杆和导线供应、智能电表采购，以及线路走廊清理的土建工程。1400万美元资金将分配给资本货物进口和当地劳务分包，约一半合同价值留给海外供应商。中国、土耳其和塞内加尔企业历来主导西非农村电气化招标，但新进入者若能与冈比亚本地注册实体合作，仍具备竞争力。
The project is financed through a sovereign-guaranteed facility, which means NAWEC will issue advance-payment guarantees upon contract signature. Contractors should expect milestone-based disbursements tied to pole erection, conductor stringing and commissioning tests. Given that wages and debt service already consume the vast majority of Gambian fiscal revenue, vendors must verify that the $14 million allocation has been fully cash-backed by a development-bank counterpart before mobilizing plant and equipment.
该项目由主权担保融资支持，意味着NAWEC将在合同签署后开具预付款保函。承包商应按电杆组立、导线架设和调试测试等节点收取进度款。鉴于工资和债务偿付已占冈比亚财政收入的绝大部分，设备商在调遣机具前，必须核实这1400万美元是否已由开发银行配套资金全额落实。
Bidders must obtain a tax-clearance certificate from the Gambia Revenue Authority and register with the Public Procurement Authority to access NAWEC tender documents. All foreign firms are required to subcontract part of the civil works value to locally incorporated companies under Gambian procurement law. Electrical machinery imports into The Gambia frequently qualify for ECOWAS duty waivers on capital goods, but contractors should independently verify the latest tariff schedule before submitting bids.
投标者必须从冈比亚税务局取得完税证明，并在公共采购局注册后方可获取NAWEC招标文件。根据冈比亚采购法，外国公司须将部分土建工程分包给本地注册企业。输入冈比亚的电力机械设备通常可享受西共体资本货物免税，但承包商应在投标前独立核实最新关税表。
Step one: Contact NAWEC’s procurement division within the next 14 days to request the pre-qualification notice for the 241-community package and confirm whether lotting is by region or by voltage level. Step two: Appoint a Banjul-based liaison office or joint-venture partner before the bid-validity window closes, ensuring the local entity holds an electrical contractor grade-A license. Step three: Submit a price schedule that separates CIF Banjul costs from in-country installation, because NAWEC evaluates foreign and local components under different scoring weights.
第一步：在14天内联系NAWEC采购部，索取241个社区包段的资格预审通知，并确认标段是按大区还是按电压等级划分。第二步：在投标有效期截止前，在班珠尔设立联络办公室或组建合资伙伴，确保本地实体持有A级电力承包商执照。第三步：报价单须将到岸班珠尔成本与境内安装费用分离，因为NAWEC对境外和本地组件采用不同的评分权重。
