The partnership between Huduma Kenya and the Public Procurement Regulatory Authority (PPRA) aims to decentralize procurement services across Kenya. This collaboration will allow Kenyan citizens to access public procurement services at Huduma Centres nationwide.
Huduma Kenya has expanded its portfolio of government services over the last decade. The new initiative seeks to improve compliance with existing procurement laws and enhance transparency in public tenders.
The integration of procurement functions into Huduma Centres will happen in phases. This structured rollout is designed to ensure that staff are properly equipped to handle procurement-related inquiries.
The partnership also aims to bring technical procurement support closer to the public. It is expected to foster a more inclusive procurement environment for youth and women-led enterprises.
Further details on launch dates for the procurement desks will be released soon. The discussions were led by Huduma Kenya CEO, Mr. Ben Kai, who emphasized the importance of this initiative for service delivery efficiency.
The program aligns with the government’s digital transformation goals, aiming for a streamlined process in accessing government services.
Overall, this collaboration represents a significant step toward making public procurement more accessible and transparent for all Kenyans.
