Fuels and electricity are classified under CPV division 09, electrical machinery under division 31 and public utility services under division 65.
What qualifications do Kenya power and utility tenders usually require?
Kenya power and utility tenders usually require proven experience with similar projects, qualified engineers, audited financial statements showing sufficient turnover, and type-test certificates for equipment such as transformers and switchgear. Manufacturer authorisations, a bid security and later a performance guarantee are common. Energy contracts are high-value, so qualification criteria matter as much as price.
How are Kenya energy contracts usually evaluated?
Kenya energy contracts are usually evaluated in two steps: qualification and technical compliance first, then price, sometimes adjusted for losses, efficiency or life-cycle cost. Bidders are often rejected for failing experience or financial thresholds rather than on price. Long delivery times for major equipment and testing and commissioning obligations should be reflected in the programme.
