The Authority is among the first government institutions to implement and operationalize the Electronic Government Procurement (E-GP) system.
The E-GP system is an online platform developed by the National Treasury to manage the procurement processes of government entities. It facilitates electronic handling of tendering, bidding, Evaluation, contract awarding, and contract management.
The system facilitates electronic handling of tendering, bidding, evaluation, contract awarding and management. It further ensures a secure, fair, and efficient procurement lifecycle.
The E-GP system allows government organizations to:
• Publish tenders electronically.
• Receive and evaluate bids online.
• Award contracts through a streamlined digital process
Suppliers and contractors can register on the platform, submit bids electronically and monitor the status of their bids in real time.
The Public Procurement System has evolved from a manual system with no regulations to an orderly and legally regulated procurement system. Originally prescribed in supplies manual of 1978 and supplemented by circulars that were issued from time to time by the then Ministry of Finance.
Reforms to procurement Systems led to enactment of Public Procurement & Disposal Act (PPDA) 2005 to promote economy, efficiency, integrity, competition, transparency, Public Confidence and strengthen oversight and control in the System.
Following promulgation of the COK, 2010 the Public Procurement and Asset Disposal Act (PPADA), 2015 was enacted to operationalize Article 227 of the constitution. The attendant Public procurement & Asset Disposal Regulations, 2020 (PPADR, 200) were gazetted to operationalize the ACT
Section 7(c) of PPADA, 2015 has mandated the National Treasury to Design and prescribe an efficient procurement Management system for National and County Governments to ensure transparent Procurement and Asset Disposal as contemplated by the article 227 of the Constitution. In pursuit of this Mandate the National Treasury has developed the EGP for use by MDA’s, and County governments.
The Authority’s Manager, Supply Chain Mr. John Musyoka presented to the Board of Directors and Management the implementation of the Electronic Government Procurement (E-GP) during the board induction held in November 2025. The Board thanked the management for ensuring compliance by implementing the system on time noting that this will enhance effectiveness and efficiency of the procurement process
