The sensitisation meetings will begin in Nairobi on November 18 at the TSC headquarters in Upper Hill. Other sessions will take place in Nyeri, Garissa, Embu, Kakamega, Mombasa, Nakuru, Uasin Gishu and Kisumu on different dates.
Reports indicate that the programme will also cover participants from surrounding counties, allowing more eligible businesses to benefit from the exercise. The Rift Valley region will have separate sessions for North Rift and South Rift participants.
The required information includes the name of the business, physical or postal address, tender name, telephone number and email address. Participants can also use the same email address to seek clarification about the programme.
The AGPO initiative is part of the government's efforts to promote economic inclusion by increasing access to public procurement opportunities for businesses owned by women, youth and persons with disabilities. Under the Public Procurement and Asset Disposal Act, 2015, at least 30 per cent of government procurement opportunities are reserved for these groups.
The commission has encouraged eligible suppliers to take advantage of the sensitisation meetings and familiarise themselves with the requirements for participating in government tenders.
