How they buy

Kenyan public procurement is conducted by individual procuring entities — ministries, counties, parastatals and universities — under the Public Procurement and Asset Disposal Act, with notices published on entity websites, in the press and on the government tenders portal. County-level procurement is a significant and growing share.

Across the agriculture & food notices we currently hold for Kenya, the most common form is the open tender or invitation to bid, followed by consultancy assignment and request for proposal. Each has its own rules — see RFP, RFQ and EOI compared and tendering procedures explained.

What qualifies you

Bidders need business registration, a valid tax compliance certificate, and typically registration with the procuring entity. Reservation schemes set aside a share of procurement for youth, women and persons with disabilities through the Access to Government Procurement Opportunities programme, which requires separate registration to claim.

Agriculture and food tenders span seeds, fertilisers, farm machinery, irrigation, food supply and processing, and rural-development schemes. Many are seasonal, so deadlines and delivery windows are tight. Check quality standards, packaging and delivery-location requirements, and whether supply is centralised or split across districts.

Before committing effort, it is worth running a deliberate bid/no-bid decision and checking your submission against the responsiveness checklist.
