KPC Announces MAJOR Changes In Procurement, Tendering
Kenya Pipeline Company PLC (KPC) has announced a significant change in how it would approach procurement.
KPC has stated that all tender notices and relevant information will be published exclusively on its official website from June 9, 2026.
In a notification to bidders, the corporation stated that the move represents a new chapter in its procurement processes.
All present and prospective suppliers must rely on the online platform for tender announcements, bidding papers, clarifications, and notifications.
KPC announced that it will no longer publish tender notices in newspapers or send individual notifications.
This indicates a complete shift to a digital procurement method aimed at increasing efficiency and transparency.

“The Kenya Pipeline Company PLC wishes to notify all current and prospective bidders that, effective 9th June 2026, all tender advertisements, procurement opportunities, and related information will be published exclusively on the Company’s official website,” the notice reads in part.
The company added that bidders are encouraged to regularly monitor its website to access opportunities and obtain updates related to ongoing procurement processes.
“All interested bidders are encouraged to access tender information through kpc.co.ke,” KPC said, while advising that all clarifications and addenda will also be issued through the same platform.
The shift comes just months after the company underwent one of the most significant structural changes in its history following its privatisation and listing on the Nairobi Securities Exchange (NSE).
In April 2026, the National Treasury officially revoked KPC’s designation as a National Government Entity, effectively removing it from the Public Finance Management framework governing state corporations after the completion of its Initial Public Offering (IPO).

The IPO saw the government reduce its stake to 35 per cent, while selling 65 per cent of shares to Kenyan retail investors, institutional investors, and other regional stakeholders, marking its transition into a publicly listed company.
Following the listing, KPC was converted into a public limited company, with the government stating that the reforms were intended to improve efficiency, commercial orientation, and governance in line with capital markets regulations.
Since the ownership shift, the company has also experienced changes in its governance structure, including adjustments to its Board of Directors and senior management.
In May 2026, KPC announced the exit of two board members and a senior supply chain executive, citing ongoing realignment of leadership following the new corporate and regulatory environment.
