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 climate, resilience & disaster risk notices we currently hold for Kenya, the most common form is the expression of interest, followed by open tender or invitation to bid. 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.

Climate and resilience procurement spans technical studies (vulnerability assessments, greenhouse-gas inventories, NDC support), programme delivery (community-based adaptation, early-warning systems, disaster preparedness) and increasingly the design of climate finance instruments. Funding often comes through dedicated vehicles — the Green Climate Fund, the Global Environment Facility, adaptation funds — whose own rules on eligibility, co-financing and reporting apply on top of the procuring agency's. Assignments regularly require a mix of climate science, economics and local delivery capability, so consortium bidding is common. Where a methodology is prescribed (IPCC guidelines, a national adaptation planning framework), follow it explicitly in the technical proposal rather than substituting your own.

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