How to win government tenders in Kenya

Winning public tenders is less about luck and more about early discovery, eligibility, and a clean submission. Use this checklist alongside Tenderiser search and alerts.

  1. Monitor daily. Counties and ministries publish continuously. Save searches for your sectors so you are notified within hours, not days.
  2. Qualify hard. Check AGPO category, tax compliance, professional licenses, and mandatory certificates before writing a proposal.
  3. Read the whole pack. Bid documents, addenda, and site visit notes change scores. Confirm closing date and submission method.
  4. Mirror the evaluation criteria. Structure your technical response in the same order as the scoring table.
  5. Submit early. Portal uploads and sealed bids fail at the last hour. Aim to finish 24–48 hours before deadline.
