“Bidders can also register their profiles in the eGP system by visiting the eGP portal www.eGP.go.ke.”
This registration is a prerequisite for participating in KeRRA's tenders.
KeRRA further noted that registering in the eGP system comes with its advantages.
“Suppliers can position themselves for potential opportunities to work with KeRRA on various road projects across the country,” KeRRA explained.
Therefore, they urged many to register as the move also aims to streamline the procurement process and increase transparency in the authority's operations.

The system launched in April 2025, in Kenya, utilises information technology, particularly the internet, to automate the acquisition of works, goods and services.
It replaced traditional paper-based methods with online processes, automating tasks from planning to payment.

accountability within the procurement process.
This is achieved by making the procurement process more visible and accessible, which helps reduce corruption and ensure fair practices.
