Kenya Pipeline Company PLC (KPC) has announced a significant transformation in its procurement methods, confirming that all tender notices and related information will be exclusively available on its official website starting June 9, 2026.
According to a statement directed to potential bidders, the company indicated that this development represents a new stage in its procurement activities, requiring all current and future suppliers to depend on the digital platform for tender advertisements, bidding documents, clarifications, and updates.
KPC confirmed it will cease publishing tender notices in newspapers or providing individual notifications, marking a complete shift to an electronic procurement system designed to enhance efficiency and transparency.
“The Kenya Pipeline Company PLC wishes to inform all existing and potential bidders that, starting June 9, 2026, all tender advertisements, procurement opportunities, and related information will be published solely on the Company’s official website,” the statement partially reads.
The company further noted that bidders should regularly check its website to access opportunities and receive updates concerning ongoing procurement activities.
“All interested bidders are advised to obtain tender information through kpc.co.ke,” KPC stated, while mentioning that all clarifications and amendments will also be distributed via the same channel.
This transition occurs just months after the company experienced one of the most substantial structural transformations in its history following its privatization and listing on the Nairobi Securities Exchange (NSE).
In April 2026, the National Treasury formally removed KPC’s classification as a National Government Entity, effectively taking it out of the Public Finance Management framework applicable to state corporations after the completion of its Initial Public Offering (IPO).
The IPO involved selling 65 percent of shares to Kenyan retail investors, institutional investors, and other regional stakeholders, representing its conversion into a publicly traded company.
After the listing, KPC was restructured as a public limited company, with the government explaining that these changes were meant to improve efficiency, commercial focus, and governance in accordance with capital market regulations.
Since the ownership change, the organization has also undergone modifications in its governance structure, including changes to its Board of Directors and top leadership.
In May 2026, KPC indicated this was due to the ongoing realignment of leadership in response to the new corporate and regulatory environment.
