GENERAL PROCUREMENT NOTICE
Date: 27th February 2015 Country: Kenya
Name of Project: Kenya Petroleum Technical Assistance Project (KEPTAP)
Credit No. 5526-KE Project ID No. P145234
The Republic of Kenya has received financing in the amount of US$ 50 million being an IDA Credit from the World Bank towards the Kenya Petroleum Technical Assistance Project (KEPTAP) whose objective is to strengthen the capacity of the Government of Kenya to manage its petroleum sector and wealth for sustainable development impacts. The project will run from July 24,2014 to February 28, 2021; the project effectiveness is 24 October 2014.
Owing to the successful discovery of oil and gas and hence the heightened interest by Oil Companies to invest in Kenya’s petroleum exploration opportunities, there is an encouraging upward trend in petroleum exploration activities in the country. This implies that the chances for Kenya to become a petroleum producing country are increasing by the day pointing to an exponential increase in the volumes of activities in the entire petroleum sector.
The above development has made it imperative for Kenya to prepare early enough to confidently confront the practical challenges that accompany the growth of the petroleum industry which takes place under very complex technological requirements and environmental safeguards.
For that matter, the Government of Kenya will need to increase the level of expertise required to manage the petroleum sector sustainably. Through this project, the GoK intends to build its human capital and to implement robust institutional reforms with a view to ensuring efficient management of the country’s oil and gas resources and the revenues that it will accrue. Further to that, the project will assist Kenya to effectively and efficiently manage the likely macro-economic consequences and the attendant impact on economic development. The ultimate goal of the capacity building initiative is to ensure that all Kenyans will equitably benefit from the oil and gas resources along the whole value chain.
The Government of Kenya therefore intends to apply part of the proceeds received from World Bank on payments for goods, related services and consulting services that will be procured in the process of implementing this project during the first 18 months up to 31 December 2015.
