We advise government entities and private sector participants on compliance with the Public Procurement and Asset Disposal Act (PPADA) and the Public Finance Management Act (PFMA), from procurement planning through to award. Our counsel helps clients avoid costly procedural errors that expose transactions to challenge.
We have a strong record before the Public Procurement Administrative Review Board, successfully representing private parties in tendering disputes involving significant sums. We understand both the procedural requirements and the substantive grounds on which procurement decisions can be successfully challenged or defended.
We advise on the structuring and negotiation of government contracts across sectors including infrastructure, energy, and public services, covering PPAs, O&M agreements, EPC contracts, and long-term concession arrangements. Our team ensures that contractual terms protect our clients' interests across the entire project lifecycle.
We have been part of transaction advisory teams on some of Kenya's most consequential public contracts, including major railway infrastructure projects and renewable energy developments. We combine legal, regulatory, and commercial insight to help clients close complex government transactions efficiently.
Our Public Procurement and Government Transactions practice covers the complete lifecycle of public contracting. We advise on procurement planning and pre-qualification, bid preparation and compliance, PPARB challenge proceedings, contract negotiation and finalization, PPP structuring, and long-term contract management. We have represented private parties in PPARB proceedings on construction tenders exceeding Kshs. 230 Million, advised on the structuring of a 40 Megawatt Solar Power Plant including PPA and EPC agreements with the Government of Kenya, and participated as part of a transaction advisory team in the procurement of a foreign O&M operator for one of Kenya's largest railway infrastructure projects. We also advise on joint venture arrangements involving government counterparties, including LPG terminal projects in Kenya and natural gas projects in Tanzania.
Public procurement is one of the most regulated and scrutinised areas of commercial activity in Kenya, and errors, whether by contracting authorities or bidders, can unravel significant transactions. Clients trust us because we understand not only the legal framework but also the practical realities of how procurement decisions are made and contested. Our involvement in landmark projects across energy, rail, and construction means we bring genuine sector context to procurement advice, not just procedural compliance. For government entities, we help design defensible processes. For private parties, we help level the playing field when procurement rules are not followed.
