Welcome to Public Procurement Training
Hello and welcome! I'm Trainer Kenneth Kipkoech Cheruiyot, and I'm excited to guide you through the essentials of public procurement.
Public procurement is the process by which government entities acquire goods, services, and works. It's crucial for ensuring that public resources are used efficiently, transparently, and in a manner that benefits all citizens.
In Kenya, this process is governed by the Public Procurement and Asset Disposal Act, 2015, which mandates that procurement activities be:
-
Fair and equitable
-
Transparent and competitive
-
Cost-effective
This legal framework ensures that taxpayer money is spent wisely and that opportunities are accessible to all, including disadvantaged groups.
As we progress, we'll explore how these principles are applied in practice, empowering you to navigate and contribute to a robust public procurement system.
