Summary of the contracting process

The Defence Infrastructure Organisation has completed a public procurement process titled "Kifaru Water Infrastructure Upgrade" under the category of construction works, specifically focusing on water treatment plant installations. The project, located in Kenya, falls under the open competition method, below threshold, indicating an inclusive procurement strategy aiming to attract SMEs. The tender reference is KEN/GE/2503, and the contract was signed on 18th November 2025 with the period of performance limited to that date. The award has been granted to EURO GULF KENYA CONSTRUCTION COMPANY LTD, marking the conclusion of the procurement process in December 2025. The public authority, classified under the central government category, emphasizes projects of strategic national interest, facilitated from their Glasgow office.

This procurement provides substantial opportunities for businesses specializing in construction and water infrastructure services. Companies with expertise in water-distribution pipelines and treatment plant construction, particularly those operating in or near Kenya, would find this project aligns well with their capabilities. The open competition format, along with the project's below-threshold nature, suggests an inviting landscape for SMEs to engage, offering a competitive edge with manageable entry barriers. Participation in such tenders enables firms to establish valuable connections with government entities, potentially unlocking future business expansion opportunities within the public sector.
