The Public Procurement Regulatory Authority (PPRA), in collaboration with GIZ and Strathmore University’s @iLab, has launched an upgraded platform aimed at improving accountability and transparency in public procurement.

The new Public Procurement Information Platform (PPIP) is fully automated and will be utilized to publish tender notices and contract awards. The authority aims to combat corruption, enhance efficiency and accountability, and streamline the tendering process across the country.

Originally introduced in 2018, the platform was designed to provide comprehensive tracking of procurement activities, from tender announcements to certification and the resolution of procurement-related complaints.

Currently, the system includes around 1,500 registered Procurement Entities, with 300 to 800 of them actively participating. The goal is to increase this number to over 34,000 Procurement Entities, significantly expanding its reach and impact.

The revamped PPIP is anticipated to be a transformative tool in maintaining procurement standards and addressing backlogs in tender information.

During the launch of the platform, Jimmy Kahindi, Chairman of PPRA, emphasized, “In today’s fast-paced world, where data drives decisions and transparency fosters trust, we must have systems that are robust, intuitive, and accessible.”

He noted that the enhanced PPIP not only reflects the authority’s commitment to maintaining procurement standards but also aligns with user expectations. Patrick Wanjuki, Director General of PPRA, highlighted the significance of the launch at a time when there is a growing demand for increased government transparency in the country.

The issue of “tenderpreneurship” has long been a concern in Kenya, with corruption undermining public trust.
