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 facility management & cleaning notices we currently hold for Kenya, the most common form is the open tender or invitation to bid, followed by request for quotation 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.

Facility-services tenders are labour-intensive and are usually awarded on price among firms that clear a compliance threshold. That threshold is the real barrier: statutory registrations, provident fund and insurance compliance for deployed staff, minimum-wage adherence and, increasingly, evidence of police verification and training. Margins are thin, so the decisive factors are accurate manpower costing including statutory add-ons, realistic attrition assumptions, and whether the contract passes through wage revisions during its term.

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