On 30 September 2014, Somaliland Sun reported that UN-HABITAT was seeking qualified firms to participate in an upcoming solicitation exercise for civil works on the Hargeisa Urban Water Supply Upgrading Project (HUWSUP), Somaliland. The same report carried a tender headline for the provision of construction of civil works at Geed Deeble, Hargeisa, Somaliland, per the same source and date.

## What the 2014 report establishes

The item frames UN-HABITAT as the entity seeking expressions of interest ahead of a solicitation, according to Somaliland Sun's report of 2014-09-30. It does not record an award, a signature, a contract start or a construction start. The Geed Deeble line is a tender headline, not evidence of works carried out, per the same report.

For readers tracking HUWSUP or the Geed Deeble works, the report leaves several things open. Somaliland Sun's item of 2014-09-30 does not state a contract value, tender value or total project cost. It does not name a contractor, bidder, consultant or implementing firm. It does not state a scope, quantity or technical specification for the civil works at Geed Deeble. It states no funding amount, donor contribution or budget line; UN-HABITAT is named only as the entity seeking firms, and the item does not establish that funding was committed or disbursed.

> **Note:** Somaliland Sun's report of 2014-09-30 describes an upcoming solicitation. It does not establish whether any works at Geed Deeble or under HUWSUP later started, stalled or finished.

## What happened next

On the 2014-09-30 Somaliland Sun report alone, what followed is not established. It records a solicitation as upcoming. It gives no award, no signed contract, no start date and no completion date. It does not say whether the Geed Deeble works proceeded, and it does not describe the current condition of the Hargeisa water supply.

This item carries no evidence of any post-2014 development on HUWSUP or Geed Deeble. Any later status would have to come from a separate source, not from this 2014 item.
