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 mining & metals notices we currently hold for Kenya, the most common form is the 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.

Mining and metals procurement spans extraction and processing works, heavy equipment, mineral and metal supply, and allied services. These contracts can carry significant safety, environmental and technical-capacity requirements. Review the site conditions, compliance obligations and equipment specifications before bidding.

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