Policy & transparency

How Kebarick Tenders works

This is the Build 01 candidate policy draft. Formal legal terms and privacy disclosures must be reviewed before accepting live customers or processing live payments.

Two types of accounts

Service providers register and discover opportunities for free. Procuring companies register free but pay for eligible direct tender publications, or use a separately paid publishing subscription.

Three types of opportunity

External tenders link to the original authorised submission system. Company-posted tenders are reviewed by Kebarick, with a buyer publication fee and no Kebarick applicant fee. Kebarick-managed private tenders are published only under written client mandate and may charge a tender-specific fee chosen by Kebarick Admin.

Application fees

Where an authorised private tender charges an administration fee, its amount and applicable conditions are shown before payment. The fee covers the identified administration service and does not purchase an award or eligibility. Losing a properly conducted tender by itself does not create a refund entitlement. Legal refund rights and remedies for unauthorised advertising, duplicate payment, cancellation before service delivery or service failure are preserved.

Official public procurement

Kebarick is not the Government of Kenya, a public procurement regulator or an official e-GP bid submission platform. Public procurement is governed by official notices, procedures and statutory fee restrictions; no Kebarick applicant fee is charged for an external government opportunity.

Build 01 restrictions

Live payment collection, automated source crawling and confidential bid-document upload are disabled. An application recorded here is an expression-of-interest record rather than a certified electronic tender submission. Do not send money based only on a payment order visible in this development build.
