Kenya Power has awarded Kes3.5 billion in tenders to youth, women, and PWD-owned enterprises for FY 2024/25, a 470pc increase driven by targeted AGPO outreach and new supplier support measures.
The value represents a 470 per cent surge from the Sh614 million disbursed in the previous year, underscoring the utility’s expanded focus on affirmative action through the Access to Government Procurement Opportunities (AGPO) framework.
The tenders covered the supply of goods, provision of services, and construction works. Youth-owned businesses secured the bulk of the awards at Sh2.2 billion, followed by women-owned enterprises at Sh1.25 billion, while PWD-owned firms received Sh66.7 million.
