The Public Procurement and Disposal Act, 2015 (and its subsequent regulations) governs the entire lifecycle of public procurement, from tendering processes to contract award and management. Understanding nuances like the requirements for tender evaluation committees, bid security, and the strict timelines stipulated is crucial. Mwenda Njagi & Co. Advocates & Mediators excels in advising clients on these critical areas. We meticulously review tender documents, assist in bid preparation to ensure full compliance, and provide guidance on contract negotiation, interpretation, and dispute resolution, drawing upon principles outlined in the Government Contracts Act and relevant case law from Kenyan courts.
