Kenya Electricity Generating Company PLC (KenGen) is creating new procurement opportunities for youth, women, and persons with disabilities. The company has announced a sensitization forum to empower these groups and local suppliers, aligning with Kenya’s goal of allocating at least 30% of government procurement to the people groups.
Procurement Opportunities for Special Groups
The forum, scheduled for Friday, February 21, 2025, at 8:30 a.m., aims to educate and onboard suppliers into the KenGen “Local-Local Suppliers” initiative. This initiative fosters inclusivity in government procurement. The workshop will cover crucial aspects such as:

- Enhancing awareness of “Local-Local” Supplier Procurement.
- Compliance with public procurement laws.
- Understanding financial incentives for special groups.
Participants will gain valuable insights to improve their competitiveness in the government procurement process.
