BidBonds

About the desk

Tender security, written for the notice

Banks issue bonds. PPIP lists tenders. BidBonds sits in between: the gazette board, the wording, and a calculator you can audit.

Notice board

Government and major procuring-entity tenders, with closing dates and reference numbers.

Each notice carries the form of tender security the entity expects you to lodge.

Why BidBonds

Built for suppliers who cannot wait on a branch queue

Kenyan public procurement still asks for bid security in original form. We keep the notice, the amount and the wording in one place so a contractor can quote, request and (once payment rails are live) collect the instrument before closing time.

What bidders say

We lodged a KeNHA bid bond from the notice page the same afternoon. The wording matched what the engineer asked for at opening.

Amina Otieno Works contractor, Kisumu

The calculator showed premium, excise and handling before we committed. No surprise invoice from the desk.

Peter Mwangi Electrical supplier, Nairobi

Having the tender number and the form of tender security on one sheet saved a trip to the bank queue.
