Contract — Delivering connectivity efficiently
Designing procurement approaches that reduce costs,
improve transparency and accelerate delivery.
improve transparency and accelerate delivery.
How connectivity is procured determines whether it can scale.
Giga supports Governments to design procurement approaches that reduce costs, improve transparency and accelerate delivery — moving away from fragmented contracts towards coordinated, competitive models.
In 2025, this included establishing a Global Procurement Facility to support large-scale connectivity delivery, and designing procurement models that can reduce costs by up to 30% through pooled demand and competitive bidding.
At country level, this approach is already delivering results — most clearly in Kenya, where a shift to competitive, multi-vendor procurement built on public fibre infrastructure reduced connectivity costs
from ~$110 to ~$45 per school per month.
