Kenya is building a digital government. And it's spending a lot of money doing it.
From the National e-Government Master Plan to the Digitisation of County Services Programme to the ongoing rollout of eCitizen and Kenya Integrated Financial Management System (IFMIS), the government procurement machine is hungry for technology — software, hardware, networking, cybersecurity, cloud, training, helpdesk support.
If you run an IT company, build software, provide IT support, or supply computer equipment, there is a government tender with your name on it somewhere in this country.
The challenge isn't opportunity — it's knowing where to look, when it drops, and what qualifications to have in place.
In the 2024/2025 financial year, Kenya's ICT Authority budget exceeded KES 8 billion — and that's just the national government's technology arm. Add the allocations for:
47 county governments, each running separate ICT departments State corporations like KRA, NHIF, NSSF, KPC, Kenya Power Public universities (30+ institutions all procuring tech) National government ministries (all 23 ministries procure independently) Constitutional commissions (IEBC, NLC, EACC, etc.)
