Pre-Bid site visit for the tenders shall be mandatory and will be held on the dates listed above at 10.00 a.m starting from the respective Regional Director’s office.

Contact details for the Regional Directors are available on the Authority’s Website.

Bidders are requested to download tender documents from the Authority’s website www.kerra.go.ke as from
19^th October, 2021.

Completed tender documents should be enclosed in plain sealed envelopes, clearly marked with the Tender Name, Tender Number and deposited in the Tender Box located on Ground Floor, Barabara Plaza Block B, or be addressed and posted to the below address on or before the respective dates and time given in the above table.

Opening of the bids will take place immediately thereafter (from the respective dates and time) at the Ground Floor Board Room, Barabara Plaza, Block B in the presence of the tenderers or their representatives who choose to attend.

Bids not received at the submission venue by the closing date and time will not be accepted for opening and will be rejected and returned unopened.

The Authority will strictly adhere to Government guidelines on management of COVID 19. Bidders who choose to attend the opening of bids ceremony are therefore required to only send one (1) representative. This will reduce on congestion and crowding of the opening venue.

Errors in the pricing of the Bills of Quantities will not be corrected. Bidders with such errors will be disqualified.
