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 media, printing & advertising notices we currently hold for Kenya, the most common form is the request for quotation, 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.

Media and communications procurement covers everything from bulk printing and signage supply to full campaign development and event documentation. Creative work is usually evaluated on quality as well as price, often requiring sample work, a creative pitch or storyboard alongside the technical proposal. Printing and signage contracts, by contrast, are typically rate contracts decided on price against a fixed specification. Check who owns the copyright in delivered work and whether media buying is included in or excluded from the fee.

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