PUBLIC NOTICE

REQUEST FOR MEMORANDUM TO SUPPORT THE DEVELOPMENT OF A NATIONAL SUSTAINABLE PUBLIC
PROCUREMENT AND ASSET DISPOSAL FRAMEWORK 

The National Treasury has developed a draft National Sustainable Public Procurement and Asset
Disposal Framework. The main objective of the framework is to provide guidance to procuring entities and
stakeholders on measures to put in place to promote sustainability in public procurement and asset disposal
system, through integration of economic, social, and environmental considerations in the public procurement
cycle.
The Specific objectives of the framework include ;
a) Provide guidelines on how to prioritize eco-friendly products, services, works and technologies, with the
aim of reducing carbon footprint, conserve the ecosystem and biodiversity, and foster the transition to a
circular economy;
b) Provide guidelines to enhance social inclusion in public procurement by prioritizing local economic
development, support of small and medium enterprises (SMEs), promote gender equality, uphold labour
laws and institutionalized social safeguards;
c) Provide guidelines on how to promote economic efficiency through adoption of total life-cycle costing in
public procurement.
To enhance inclusive decision making and fulfil the provisions of article 232 (1) (d) of the Constitution of Kenya
which provides for involvement of people in the process of policy making, key stakeholders and members
of the Public are requested to provide a memorandum on issues to be addressed in the Framework.
The draft National Sustainable Public Procurement and Asset Disposal Framework document can be
accessed on our website www.treasury .go.ke.
In light of the foregoing, members of the Public and stakeholders are requested to submit memorandum
addressed to the Principal Secretary, National Treasury, P.O BOX 30007-00100 Nairobi, or via email to
ppd@treasury.go.ke with a copy to dppd4553@gmail.com by 13th May 2025.
