RFQ launched for Nairobi-Nakuru-Mau Summit highway PPP
The Public Private Partnership Unit (PPPU), established as a Special Purpose Unit within the National Treasury of the Government of Kenya (GOK), has launched a competitive bidding process to seek a private partner for a road project.
The Nairobi - Nakuru Road (A104) project involves the dualization and operation of the 157 km road which forms part of the Trans-African Highway (Northern Corridor).
The process for the project will be conducted to solicit bids in accordance with the procurement rules and procedures for public bidding as set out in the Public Private Partnership Act, No. 15 of 2013.
The Bidding Process will consist of two stages: Pre-Qualification Stage and Bid Stage for Pre-Qualified Bidders.
The Kenya National Highways Authority (KeNHA) will conduct a Pre-Qualification Conference of the Prospective Bidders to clarify any part of the RFQ or the Bidding Process and to answer any relevant questions.
Prospective Bidders shall submit their Qualification Documents by January,9 2017.
In March 2015, we reported that the government was seeking interest from foreign financiers for this project and the Mombasa-Nairobi highway expansion PPP project. The total investment for both projects is estimated at US$1.3 billion.
Intercontinental Consultants and Technocrats (ICT) Ltd of India was appointed as transaction advisors (TA) for the project. They will carry out feasibility studies, prepare tendering documents and support the government during the tender process.
