What Kenya Public Procurement and Asset Disposal Act No. 33 of 2015 (PPADA) and PPADR 2020 requires
The Kenya Public Procurement and Asset Disposal Act No. 33 of 2015 (PPADA) assented to 18 December 2015 and effective 7 January 2016 and the Public Procurement and Asset Disposal Regulations 2020 (PPADR 2020) constitute the principal Kenyan legal framework governing procurement of goods, works, and services by public entities including the National Government, County Governments, public service offices, state corporations, constitutional commissions and independent offices, statutory bodies, and other public entities funded by public funds. The PPADA 2015 was enacted under Article 227 of the Constitution of Kenya 2010 which mandates a fair, equitable, transparent, competitive, and cost-effective public procurement system. PPADA 2015 replaced the prior Public Procurement and Disposal Act 2005 and modernised the Kenyan procurement regime including establishing the National Treasury as the policymaking authority and the Public Procurement Regulatory Authority (PPRA) as the regulatory authority. The Public Procurement Information Portal (tenders.go.ke) operated by the National Treasury is the federal e-procurement platform and the Integrated Financial Management Information System (IFMIS) is used for financial integration. Procurement methods established by PPADA 2015 Part X comprise (a) Open Tender (sec. 96, default open public tender), (b) Two-Stage Tendering (sec. 99, for complex acquisitions), (c) Design Competition (sec. 100), (d) Restricted Tendering (sec. 102, with prequalification), (e) Direct Procurement (sec. 103, sole-source under prescribed exceptions including emergency, sole supplier, prior failed tendering, and small-value below thresholds), (f) Request for Quotations (sec. 105, for low-value acquisitions), (g) Electronic Reverse Auctions (sec. 107), (h) Low-Value Procurement (sec. 108), (i) Force Account (sec. 109, in-house performance), and (j) Specially Permitted Procurement Procedures (sec. 113). PPADA 2015 establishes the Public Procurement Administrative Review Board (PPARB) for procurement appeals. Kenya is NOT a party to the WTO Government Procurement Agreement (GPA). Kenya is a party to the East African Community (EAC) Public Procurement Bill framework and to UNCAC.
